Not being the biggest fan of crocs / gators, I went with some trepidation but was more than pleasantly surprised. Staff were extremely knowledgeable and engaging. It was relatively quiet when we went, so staff were more than happy to spend their time explaining / informing. Got to hold both a croc and python. Represents great value for money and would recommend to anyone. Wish you the best of luck in your venture and keep up the good work.
I brought my two younger cousins here for the afternoon and they had a brilliant time! I did worry they would be a bit scared but they loved it and just wanted to see everything. The staff are incredibly enthusiastic and knowledgable. From an adult perspective it was interesting and really great to see that they work to protect crocodiles for conservation so it's not a zoo. Be warned that is is warm in there so if you're going in winter you may want to leave the coats in the car! they have an adventure playground for the children to let off more steam but they will need coats in there.Great for a rainy day :)
We took our 2 year old grandson son here last week. I think it was a bit much for him so older kids would enjoy it more. We did see newly hatched eggs and watch them get fed place we touched a Boa Constrictor. It is a very small park and you can see it all in 30-minutes but I hope over time it will grow and that they will offer other things to see.
I disagree with some of the reviewers - this is well worth the money for a family ticket. Staff and engaging and helpful, the crocodiles are amazing, yes, they are all real. We saw the feeding at 1pm and its worth staying for. A brilliant afternoon out, plus there is a small cafe with ice creams, sandwiches, and hot drinks. Definitely go - its just moved to new premises so a few bits are still unfinished but it does not detract from the experience. Something more than an ordinary zoo and I would go again.
We visited in the half term holidays on a really rainy day as a surprise trip for our son who loves crocodiles. It was a great day out and even though the venue was smaller than I expected there was still plenty to see and do. The staff there were really helpful and informative, especially Jamie. He answered a bombardment of questions from both my 2 year daughter and 5 year old son with patience, kindness and enthusiasm, beyond what I would expect of anyone.Both the children loved having a photo taken holding a small alligator too, they are now proud owners of magnets which are pride of place on their radiators
Me and my partner came on a quiet Tuesday. Was really nice to have so much space to see all the crocodiles. The environment was clean and tidy and had both an indoor and small outdoor section. The guy (Australian) was fantastic, he had so much knowledge and made it exciting and easy to understand! He had so much time to each person. He was also great with the animals! It was definitely a first time experience holding both a baby croc and a snake! We spent the whole day there as we wanted to hear every talk! It was a really nice day and I'd recommend a trip if you happy to relax, talk, learn and see!
visited the zoo last weekend and thoroughly enjoyed it. Was a little sceptical as went with a group of adults (no children) but we all really enjoyed it. The staff were knowledgable and happy to answer a string of questions. We even held a young alligator and the staff were very patient with one member of our group who was very nervous doing so! All in all, we were there for 3-4 hours. I would say the cafe let them down as they had sold out of most soft drinks but we didn't use it so not fair to comment. Thanks very much, we look forward to seeing the zoo grow!
Went here with a 3 year old and a 6 year old after recently hearing about it. Fabulous place with good staff. Although small there was plenty to see and we all loved it. Fantastic value for money. We spent 3 hours there which and the kids didn't want to leave. Only downside was the cafe.... Very disappointing and needs a lot of updating. I would not recommend eating in here. Smelly, not that clean and lots of flies, not an enjoyable place to spend time. I am surprised that refurbishment of this hasn't featured more highly on their list of things to do. That said, we all want to go back very soon, this time we will just take a picnic.
Fortunately visited on a beautiful Spring day and were able to prolong the visit by sitting in the picnic area watching the children play. If it had been poor weather we would have struggled to fill an hour. The animal keepers were professional and knowledgeable but we felt neglected. Ideally it would better if there was an enthusiastic member of staff employed to communicate with visitors as they are walking round, asking how they are getting on and pointing them in the right direction. This would be particularly helpful for visitors with children.The staff working on the tills need better training especially on communication skills. We are sure it is work in progress and the children had a good time.
Our first visit to Crocodiles of the world at it's new site. This is an amazing attraction. The staff are the most patient, knowledgeable, friendly, crocodile loving guys I've ever met. Seeing these creatures so close up is incredible. You learn so much, from the information boards and from asking the staff, who answer all questions even those from very small children with a real enthusiasm for their field. Nothing is rushed. We didn't use the cafe so can't comment on that, but hats off to these guys for their total commitment to the conservation of these animals. A great place for all ages.
