点评:This is a fantastic little zoo that has lots to offer if you spend the time to. With various talks about the wonderful animals that they have here and opportunities for the children to interact with them and of course the grown ups if you want to. They are informative, educational and fun all at the same time. You meet reptiles and some of the zoos fluffy residents.
Visiting anywhere in the winter does come with hazards such as paths being a bit muddy in places but the staff at the front are amazing and the owner is on hand to answer any questions you may have and even provide you with wipes for your feet if you need them. We were prepared as we always are in the wetter months and had our wellies with us.
After speaking with the owner we found out that this is a small family run zoo with little to no additional funding from any other source than its visitors, he explained that like every small zoo this does come with its struggles and literally every penny goes into caring for the animals and even in the wet conditions they make sure that animals are comfortable and have everything they need and to be honest you can see this as you walk round, the animals are happy and look very well cared for especially Doris the 10 month old pig who I fell in love with and so did my little boy.
This is an amazing little place and needs more support from its visitors - I did read reviews before I went but like anything I take things on face value and being a small business owner myself I understand that everything is not always as it seems and your visit like mine is just a snap shot in time.
Be kind to this wonderful zoo and I cannot wait to return again in the summer.
翻译:这是一个很棒的小动物园,如果你花时间去的话,里面有很多东西可以玩。这里有各种关于这里奇妙动物的讲座,孩子们可以和它们互动,当然如果你愿意的话,大人也可以。这些活动既有教育意义,又有趣。你可以见到爬行动物和动物园里的一些毛茸茸的动物。
冬天去任何地方都会有危险,比如有些地方的道路有点泥泞,但前台的工作人员很棒,主人随时可以回答你的任何问题,如果你需要的话,他们甚至会为你提供擦脚布。我们像往常一样在雨季做好了准备,带上了雨靴。
与主人交谈后,我们发现这是一个小型家庭经营的动物园,除了游客之外,几乎没有任何其他来源的额外资金,他解释说,像每个小型动物园一样,这个动物园也面临着困难,每一分钱都用于照顾动物,即使在潮湿的环境中,他们也会确保动物舒适,拥有它们需要的一切,说实话,当你走来走去时,你可以看到这些动物很快乐,看起来得到了很好的照顾,尤其是 10 个月大的小猪多丽丝,我爱上了它,我的小男孩也是如此。
这是一个令人惊叹的小地方,需要更多的游客支持——我在去之前确实读过评论,但和任何事情一样,我只看表面,作为一个小企业主,我明白事情并不总是像表面上看起来的那样,你的访问就像我的一样,只是时间的快照。
请善待这个美妙的动物园,我迫不及待地想在夏天再回来。
