So worth it if you love wallabies and feeding animals. Also I have not known any other zoo/park that has a wallabie walkthroug. Manor House also has many experiences that you can pay additonal cost for by pre booking so I booked and paid for a VIP encounter with a tapir. They were lovely. I especially loved brushing them and tickling their bellies. So sweet. The keeper as well was a very lovely girl and very knowledgable. Wildlife Park is very clean and spacious. Highly recommend.

I remember coming here in the late 1970s, early 1980s, when I was a child. I always remember…read morehaving a great time here, and visiting here while on vacation with my husband recently was no different. The park is under new ownership (since I last visited 30+ years ago), and everything is very clean and well presented. The walk around the park was just amazing and all the animals looked very happy and well-cared-for. Many of the animal habitats are accessible to people for petting or simply getting up close and personal. There are "wallaby-bites" available at the front entrance gate for feeding the wallabies. Many of the wallabies had their babies in their pouches and wouldn't come near, but they were so beautiful to watch! When we entered the Flemish rabbit area, one of the rabbits ran straight up to us for attention and petting :) I love that there are hand-washing stations with lots of signage at the exits to all animal habitats. It's a small park, in the middle of rural Wales, so the variety of animals is not the same as you'd find at a larger zoo, but my husband and I still had a wonderful time. The keepers were feeding the meerkats as we entered that area, and the keepers stayed and spoke with the crowd of people that had gathered to watch. It was clear that the animals in the park are treated with respect and great care by the keepers. My husband and I had an awesome time that day, well worth the admission price of 11.95 British pounds each.

Went here with my family, first thing to note is the map they give you is 5 years out of date…read more Quite a few animals have moved cages and the park's changed slightly so can lead to confusion. Most notably, they advertise penguins on their brochure as a main attraction which one of our party was very much looking forward too and only came for the penguins but they all died a while ago. The talks are informative. A good day out for the family still and enough to take up your whole day. Petting zoo is fun for all ages.

Great value tickets, nice little gift shop on the way out. They have such a wide range of animals for a fairly small space, all with wonderfully large enclosures, and all naturally managed - all the enclosures are as close as possible to their natural habitat, so the animals are happier and in better health. This can mean that they're hard to spot because they can be hiding in plant growth, but when you do see them they're so animated and fun to watch. Informative, educational and amusing talks are given by the keepers on the animals, there are various encounter sessions during the day where you get to hold some of the smaller animals, and reptiles and spiders and so on. The kids had a wonderful time, as did we, though we were surprised at how tired we were when we got back to the car - it's a deceptive space! Though on quite a small plot for a zoo, the paths and enclosures are arranged so that you get the impression you're walking round a much bigger place.

The toilets are modern, clean and well maintained. There's usually an exhibition in the main hall. The reserve itself is a haven for wildlife.

If you walk along the paths, eventually you'll get to Sker Beach. This is a wide sandy beach, usually deserted. A great cheap day out - take a picnic, parking is free!

You can walk all day in this forest admiring the lovely views without retracing your steps - and without meeting many other people either. There are some benches here and there and picnic tables down by the river. There are useful maps available in the visitor centre and there's a small shop for gifts in there too. I find the self service cafe very disappointing however as the menu (which hasn't changed for years) is extremely boring and unimaginative and the staff aren't friendly. There's almost nothing available for vegetarians either and nothing for vegans apart from the inevitable potato with boring old baked beans. Why on earth can't they even keep a box of veggie burgers in the freezer? So, to sum up: fantastic forest but poor cafe. UPDATE JAN 2009: Same old menu but when we asked, they found a tin of vegetable soup which was very nice. The lady who served us was friendlier this time. They had a delivery when we were there and I noticed that all the boxes contained pre-cooked baked potatoes, Yorkshire puddings, and other ready-meals. So don't expect home cooking but it's not expensive so that's one good thing. It's somewhere warm to shelter from the freezing wind too.
