Fantastic little wildlife park with a wide range of outdoor exhibits including otters and lima's and a reptile house and Aquarium housed within a former 'Art Deco' BBC radio listening station. Extremely knowledgeable and friendly animal keepers with feeding of the animals taking place throughout the day. Outdoor play area complete with Pirate Ship and an adventure castle. Well worth a visit - don't be put off by the rather grim exterior!
