点评:We visited today for a capybara experience for our daughter’s birthday. Experience was great. The keep was very knowledgeable and our daughter really enjoyed. All of the staff we lovely and very helpful.
The gift shop has some nice things that were reasonably priced.
We ate in the restaurant and we all enjoyed the food. Our son had a pizza that was huge. 1 between 2 with a bowl of chips would have been plenty for 2 people but he gobbled it down! Thankfully the restaurant as warm as the shop, toilets and additional seating area were really cold.
The park itself was lovely. Lots of animals, some that were quite unusual and incredible to see so close up (the eagle owl was enormous!) The goats are quite cheeky so be aware that if you are visiting with children or someone who is little unsteady that they will jump up on you if you go into their enclosure and have food!
I think on a warmer day we could have stretched wandering around to 1.5-2hrs. There were 3 talks on too but we missed those. I think 2.5hrs would be more than enough looking around if you added in a cuppa/drink stop in the restaurant.
Carers & additional needs- 2 issues that we encountered that you need to know:
1) Carers ticket. This park now only accepts a Carers UK ID card as proof. A DWP letter will no longer be accepted so make sure you have one.
2) Floor in the main restaurant has what can only be described as a ‘bouncy’. The vibrations of people walking around were quite unpleasant and our son who is autistic found this particularly difficult. In the end we sat nearest the wall on the left as you go in which seemed to be a bit better but still not great. One of the lights was also flickering which just added to his sensory overload.
Being the only warm place to wait while my daughter and husband enjoyed their animal experience was quite difficult. If the weather had been better we would have moved outside. It’s such a lovely space with a beautiful log burner so it’s a real shame.
We really enjoyed our visit and would recommend to others.
翻译:今天我们去体验了一次水豚,作为女儿的生日礼物。体验很棒。饲养员知识渊博,我们的女儿非常喜欢。所有的工作人员都很可爱,非常乐于助人。
礼品店里有一些价格合理的好东西。
我们在餐厅吃饭,我们都很喜欢那里的食物。我们的儿子吃了一个很大的披萨。两个人吃一个披萨,再加一碗薯条,就足够两个人吃了,但他狼吞虎咽地吃完了!谢天谢地,餐厅和商店一样温暖,厕所和额外的座位区真的很冷。
公园本身很可爱。有很多动物,有些动物非常不寻常,近距离观看真是不可思议(雕鸮非常大!)山羊很顽皮,所以要注意,如果你带着孩子或有点不稳的人来参观,如果你进入它们的围栏吃东西,它们会跳到你身上!
我想在温暖的日子里,我们可以把漫步时间延长到 1.5-2 小时。还有 3 场讲座,但我们错过了。我认为,如果在餐厅喝杯茶或小酌一杯,2.5 小时的游览时间就足够了。
护理人员和其他需求 - 我们遇到的 2 个问题,您需要了解:
1) 护理人员票。这个公园现在只接受英国护理人员身份证作为证明。DWP 信将不再被接受,因此请确保您有一封。
2) 主餐厅的地板只能用“有弹性”来形容。人们走动的震动非常不舒服,我们患有自闭症的儿子对此感到特别困难。最后,我们坐在左边最靠近墙壁的位置,这似乎好一点,但仍然不是很好。其中一盏灯也在闪烁,这只会增加他的感官超负荷。
当我的女儿和丈夫享受他们的动物体验时,成为唯一可以等待的温暖地方是相当困难的。如果天气好一点,我们会搬到外面。这是一个非常可爱的地方,有一个漂亮的燃木炉,所以这真是太可惜了。
我们真的很享受这次旅行并且会向其他人推荐。
