I heard a bit on the radio once that Britain has more eccentrics per capita than any country in the world. I think part of that is because there's a history of established wealth here: probably more of us would be loony if we inherited a lot of money. Anyway, Alexander Thynn, the 7th Marquess of Bath, has a huge stately home and vast grounds known as Longleat in Wiltshire. Thynn is a bit of a nutter: a painter, a poet, a musician, and a womanizer. But he also loves animals, so he's created a drive-through safari park on the Longleat grounds. A big-game safari park in England makes for quite a popular attraction, and there's even a TV show about the park and how it's run. The missus and I made a day of it once. After battling traffic for a couple of hours, we saw giraffes and camels and tigers and lions and monkeys and rhinos and wolves and tapirs and antelope and all sorts of other animals. The giraffes were fun. The monkeys come running and jump all over your car. They also try to rip off anything that they can, and we saw plenty of vehicles have door stripping, radio antennas, and windshield wipers all ripped off to become monkey toys. Luckily our car had no loose bits, and because the radio antenna is removable I'd unscrewed it before we went in. A couple of small monkeys jumped onto the car, but they didn't stay long, liking the looks of the SUVs behind us better. If you're not read to leave after the safari park, Longleat House is a lovely stately home that's worth a visit on its own.

Feeding marmosets in the VIP experience
Issie R.

Amazing day out! We had a marmoset experience, which was great. We got to meet many of the marmosets that would not have otherwise been on show as they were either very endangered or didn't get on well with other breeds. The keeper was very knowledgeable and engaging. it was great to get up close and personable, hear their chirps and feed them a little sweetcorn too. The park itself was clean, had a lot of smaller animal exhibits, and a few options for eating, although next time I would bring food with us as it was expensive. The larger animal exhibits were great. The animals seemed very relaxed and at home in their environments. I will go back again for sure. Probably in the summer when we would be more inclined to spend more time outdoors!

Longleat house and garden
Laura C.

Omg, I had a fantastic time! Every single bit was amazing! The safari was wonderful (feeding the deer was a bonus), the adventure park is fabulous (meerkats!l and the house and gardens is beautiful. Man, I am running out of superlatives. The price is £28.50 for an adult and it is definitely worth the price. The keepers are really informative and friendly, I got a porcupine quill from one!

I've always loved Longleat. I last visited in July last year, so it was very hot and the animals were active. The safari was interesting, a lioness came up to the car so we got a good look at her. Feeding the deer is a great experience, just remember if you have a child holding the cup the force of the deer may result in pellets all over your car. The monkeys are a drivers nightmare, luckily we were visiting with friends and didn't need to worry. You see aerials, pieces of rubber and the odd licence plate scattered around the road, so don't choose to visit in your BMW. I personally couldn't stand the hedge maze. It was a hot summers day, the hedge was overgrown, and it feels even longer in the heat. There were bugs everywhere and I just got frustrated. The bat cave was great, though It's tough for a woman to keep silent when one flies at your face and you end up squealing. The best part was probably the train ride we went on at the end. It had got cooler and it was a nice peaceful ride. It's more for families with young children, not couples.

This is a perfect place to take young family members who like to run around and make noise!…read more I recently took a young niece here, and she absolutely loved it - an added bonus was that she was so tired out by the end of it her mum said she slept like a log! I remember going to something like this when I was really young too, it offers a ideal mix between being able to see and touch animals like rabbits and pigs, to an adventure playground with those big slides that probably aren't so big when your a grown up but are huge when your little that you sort of drop off almost vertically, with your bum hardly touching the slide! There's also a nature trail. The park is great in nice weather, not so good in the rain but there are still inside things to do. It is also quite reasonable priced - £7.00 adult and £6.50 child, check their website for special offers.

This is a large, leafy recreational area covering 50 acres just outside Bristol with an animal…read morefarm, riverside walks, playgrounds and picnic areas. With stacks to entertain children, it's also a pleasant space for adults, and even when it's sunny and busy there seems to be plenty of space for everyone. For kids, the play arena has trampolines, slides, rope climbing structures and go karts, plus mini golf and the Strawberry Line miniature train. The six or so shire horses kept at the park are a big attraction, and there are lots of smaller animals to see, and even handle (under supervision). The park has falconry displays at the weekends (and during school holidays), plus a nature trail along the river (with a junior assault course running parallel to it). Adults cost £7.50, children (and OAPs) £7, and little ones under 2 go free. The park's open every day from April - end of October, then the indoor play barn is open on weekends and school holidays.

Much better than I expected. The quality of the animals is…read moregreat - well looked after and easy to see. It like Noah's ark in that there are 2 or 3 of the 'big animals - Rhinos, Lions, 1 Tiger, elephants, Giraffes, Buffalo etc. There are also 'events' showing birds of prey and farm animals etc.. The staff were very helpful and pleasant and knowledgable. It is not cheap at all - around £70 for us to get in and we were there for some 4 hours - able to walk round everything and have lunch easily. Price is the only reason why it's not 5 stars! Fully recommend

I have been to Noahs Ark a few times before but I had heard that they had done some renovations so…read moredecided to give it another go. I brought my son, niece & nephew here for the day and we had such a lovely time. As you walk in they have a huge play area to your left with a pirate ship & slides, they also have tables right next to it for parents to sit and watch. To your right they have a big picnic field with benches, and trampolines to keep the kids entertained. They animal area is huge and it's a lovely walk, they have so many animals and they are all kept in enclosures suitable for the animal and they all seem very happy and content. The best thing is now the elephant enclosure, it's the biggest in the UK and can hold up to 10 elephants. They only have one elephant at the moment but they will be getting more in the near future. Noah's ark also have a little gift shop and a cafe selling hot and cold food. Pretty average prices really. They also have a tractor ride which costs £2 per adult and £1 per child, this lasts about 20 mins and is loads of fun. Prices for entry are: Adults- £15 Children- £10 (2-16) Under 2s- Free Would definitely recommend Noah's Ark for a fun day out.

Animal farm can be a great place to visit rain or shine. lots of lovely animals to pet and feed…read more The farm has barns with rabbits,ferrets and all other fluffy things. In the 20+ acres you have all the reg farm animals to feed. Theres a couple of rides , bouncy castle and toy tractors to skoot around on. All this could be done in drizzly weather with wellys on but if its really bad theres a massive indoor play area. they have a small area for babys and toddlers thats well padded and keeps them entertained for ages. The older kids have lots to climb and the tallest slides i have ever seen. my heart was in my mouth watching the kids come down it , but they thought it was wicked. The farms very easy to find as burnham-on -sea isnt a big place to get lost in. well worth a visit :)

Also it has paddocks with animals in (such as cows, lamas etc.) which you can feed and indoor barns with pigs and horses in. It is a great day out and you can stay for hours without your kids geting bored.

I cannot rave enough about Finkley Down Farm. I don't even have kids I can use as an excuse - I…read moresimply come here to relax and spend some time with the animals. The atmosphere is relaxed and peaceful and the abundance of cute greedy animals desperate for you to feed them is nothing short of delightful. Their animals range from goats and sheep to chickens to cows right over to the more unusual llamas and highland cows. Even if you're not into getting close to the animals or feeding them the buckets of food available at the ticket office, just watching them mooch around is still fun and relaxing. The llama took somewhat of a disliking to me (was it something I said?) and stormed at me, looking like it could easily clear the fence and gain its freedom. I wasn't going to hang around to find out. One look at my pathetic retreating hide running off into the distance was enough to reduce its anger to mere disdain, and instead he decided to spit all over me. In some sort of random heroic act, the pig sharing its pen flung itself at the llama as if to take the blow for me, and rather than reflect on the llama soaking I'd been given, I instead watched this pig take one for the team. Right in the eye, no less. From hereonin, I shall name this pig SuperPig. If you do have kids you can pretend are the reason for visiting, there's plenty to keep them occupied. Other than the animals you can feed, there are talks and handling sessions with some of the smaller or baby pets throughout the day. There's also a nice adventure playground and a couple of trampolines to wear them out on too. There's a small gift shop and a place to buy some food, as well as a picnic area if you're sensible enough to bring your own food. I love this place and can't wait to go back when it reopens for the season next year.

Lots to see and many activities laid on for the children. Arm them with a bucket of food from the entrance first though or you will find yourself running back for some! On site cafe sells everything from fish & chips to ice cream or just a cuppa. Toilets well sign posted and clean. Lots of basins and hand gel dotted around for after you have touched the animals. Nice staff who are kid friendly. Congratulations to the farm for keeping the gift shop prices low, lots of souvenirs on sale for under £2.
