Manor Wildlife Park
Reviews
Great place to visit and a nice open park. With some animals having free roaming space. I also had a tiger feeding experience which was great and keeper was very helpful and tried to get all the tigers involved but 1 was ignoring us. Not crowded. And a very peaceful day. My only negative was that the maps have not been updated as there were a couple of exhibits that had been removed to develop space for more animals.
The best day ever for all of us! 6 of us from 5 years old to 65. All raving about it and happily recounting it. The wallaby walk through was our absolute favourite as you get to feed them and they had babies in their pouches! Adorable ❤️ The enclosures we found were spacious and the animals happy. We got to see all the animals, not one was hiding, how lucky. The zoo keepers were knowledgeable and we enjoyed listening to the tiger talk. One of the rhinos was being cheeky and a zookeeper cleaning out the gated part went over and spoke and stroked to him/her. It was lovely interaction. There are lots of benches placed so plenty of places for a rest. The selection of play areas is good. We didn't find the site overly busy and everyone using it was polite. They have a couple small outside play areas, a hay bale maze inside and a soft play inside a dome which gets hot on a warmer day, we had no issues today. The kids of our group had a great time on all of these areas (ages 5, 7, 13) The food selection was okay. The pizza smelt amazing but we had fries and goujons which were delicious and hot. Also a selection of ice cream and coffee as you'd expect, no complaints from us. The gift shop was mostly teddies and my kids are on a Teddy ban so a bit disappointed, but if you don't already own 300 teddies you should be able to find a cute one. They weren't disappointed for long by the way, we moved on to the meerkats, lemurs, rabbits and goats continuing our brilliant day as you can walk with the lemurs, rabbits and goats/sheep. They are all so friendly and one goat in particular wanted Continuous fuss on the head. Just kept nudging his head back into your hand. The car park is a decent size and there's a bit of overflow parking. You do have to cross a small road but there's lots of warning signs which is great. Hard to miss! Over all, 5 stars from us, we loved it 😁
We came later in the afternoon so the park was quieter than usual (having been a few times before) all the animals still look very happy with friendly and informative keepers. It is always a great experience to do the walkthrough exhibits and feed the wallabies. Whilst we don't have any it would be a lovely place to take kids as there are plenty of activities for little ones - or for a trip out for the day. We don't usually find the wait to get in too long at all and the prices are reasonable, just keep in mind that there is a 5 o'clock closing time, so many of the animals seem to be being put away nearer this time.
A lovely zoo. Loads of animals and some you can pet, the wallabys are very friendly and you can feed them. You can walk into the lemur enclosure, which is lovely. The cafe is OK, does a lovely latte!
Me and my partner went here today and had the best time! Straight as you enter there's an interactive activity where you get to feed the wallabies, think the food only costs £1 something, we loved that! We then spent the next 3 hours exploring the park seeing all the different animals. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We stopped off at the cafe for a hot chocolate which was lovely! Honestly nothing bad We could really say, zoos can be pretty hit or miss with my partner as she's concerned about the living conditions they're sometimes in, but this place looks really spacious and caring for the animals. Thank you for such a great experience today, definitely if you have kids with you, this will keep you guys entertained for what could be 4+hours, as a couple we were there for 3hours. Also, we enjoyed the signs providing facts about the animals, mayeb worth having those binoculars you see at some sites so those looking can see the animals like the rhinos even closer
