We found this place after getting lost one day and I am sooo glad we found it!…read more It cost us (a family of 4 £23) and it was well worth every penny. We spent a whole day here and there was so much to do. There's also activities if the weather isn't too good. There's plenty of different things to do like fossil hunts, puppet shows, Dino trail, pat a pet, adventure playgrounds, a maze, a huge bumpy slide as well as 'optional extras' such as rides and games. Theres also a cafe and a place where you can sit outside with a cuppa while the children explore the playgrounds. The cafe is reasonably priced and service is lovely. All staff we came across were friendly and helpful. Its informative for the children and fun for the whole family.

They also offer a wide selection of food and drink. Its a really good couple of hours out for the children. You can also book childrens partys there and they now do theme nights. Christmas time the children can see Father Christmas which my son is really looking forward to this year!!

One word sums up our visit to this much hyped attraction - disappointment. The place is really…read moreadvertised well locally and on the net - so we went full of anticipation - and saved it till the last day of our hols as a finale. My son is mad on dinosaurs (show me a 6 yr old boy who isn't!!) and so he was really excited and hubby was intrigued to see the'Wolf man' Shaun Ellis who lived with and befriended the wolves and who does daily 'howling' shows at this venue. When we got there the parking was a nightmare and left us a long way to walk to get actually in to the park - which was fine that's Devon- but easily avoided with better planning. Strike one!! The dinosaurs consisted of about 5 models set in breathtaking realistic gardens - but they did nothing and the accompanying signs gave very little info of substance. Further round the park later we did find a small museum which had dinosaur fossils and eggs which was quite interesting, and a couple of amimatronic models which were reasonably entertaining - but not anywhere near enough to warrant calling the place a dinosaur park... strike two!! We looked carefully on the guides to find out what time the 'Shaun Ellis' talk begun and made our way there 15 mins early to get a good seat at the front.. only to find out that contrary to the posters and adverts Shaun was in fact not there but away filming in Poland!! Not happy bunnies - I felt really sorry for the lovely woman who had to do the talk in his place she really got some stick from the crowd - alot of who, had travelled a diatance and paid entrance fee really to see 'The wolfman' only. Strike three!! All this said it was still a generally good day out - the other wildlife on show was fascinating. The Meer cats especially were hilarious - and all the staff that handled the animals and gave the talks seemed both dedicate and knowledgeable. The highlight for me was the wallabies roaming wild that you could hand feed - gorgeous. There were various small scale kids rides which were ok, and amusements along with the usual cafes etc,.and an indoor section where you could do brass rubbings. The oriental gardens were also very beautiful. It was possible to go swimming with Sea Lions if you booked in advance - however we were unaware and had no kit with us. Sounds like it could be fun!? Over all I have given a 3 mainly due to the false advertising - I guess if you had stumbled across this place accidentally and had no expectations you may rate it higher. I would say more for younger children who will love the small animals.

Quite a few of the dinosaurs weren't working when we went, some of the vegetation was also overgrowing into the path. Japanese garden was quite a waste. If you have any trouble with walking or getting around then the hills in this park will be killer. It's constantly up and down even from the car park. Seal show was a highlight, very well trained. Food was okay at the restaurant, they were missing quite a few items when we went and the wooden cutlery is ridiculous and easily broken. Overall good day out and kids would have fun. Unlikely to go again.
