"It was a nice experience, got to see some unique animals. Sadly, couldn’t see some of the animals perhaps due to the timing but enjoyed my visit overall." - Funmi, Sep. 2024
“A great little zoo, unfortunately it was very wet the day we went, but it didn't stop us enjoying it. Would be lovely in good weather, as then you could also enjoy the gardens.” - Nicole, June 2024 >> See More Reviews
