woodside wildlife & falconry park印象
-
I have been here a few times now and taken my partner and his nieces and nephews with us, and they really enjoyed it! The staff here are really friendly and informative. Wide range of animals which all looked very well looked after and cared for. There is a lot of written information available near all of the animals so you are able to learn more about the species. I have never been yet and seen a show, but despite this I have still enjoyed it each time! Would recommended.

Visited woodside twice now, once on a cold day in Jan 2014 and the other in the summer school holidays.The January experience was fantastic. We took our 1.5 yr old and she absolutely loved it. As soon as you walk in you meet a parrot, an otter and a load of meerkats, the latter two of which are at perfect eye level for a toddler staring contest. You can also get little pots of mealworms for 20p or something which you can then feed to certain animals which is great fun.There were literally only 20 guests in the entire park so we had pretty much all the attractions to ourselves and not only do you get to see creatures close up but you get to hold / touch them too. We held snakes, lizards, rabbits, guinea pigs and even an Emu egg (I had no idea they were green). Some of the more adventurous even got to hold a tarantula.Downside: We hadn't taken any food with us and the cafe had a really poor selection, hot drinks and cake, that was about it..Summer was a bit different, although the staff did comment on it being abnormally busy that day. We went in the middle of school holidays and there were no parking spaces left (and we arrived as it was just opening), people had just been abandoning their cars on the grass verges on the main road and there were long queues to get in. The birds of prey display, the barn display, the meeting the animals display were all packed to the rafters. Available seating was long gone and there were children sat on the floor covering every spare inch. We took a late lunch to ensure we managed to get a bench for my young daughter and elderly grandmother but even at 2pm there will still people just sat around covering every spare blade of grass. There must be a health and safety quota on how many people are allowed in the park at any one time. Had to be over 500 people in there that day at least.Any way, it really is a fantastic day out when not too busy with very reasonable prices. The butterfly house wasn't open in the winter which is understandable, but everything else was. The white wolves and bat enclosure were my personal favs.

We have visited Woodside several times.It is always a very interactive experience, and quite educational.The staff are great, there are bird and animal activities and although it is quite small, you can easily spend a day there, especially now there is a tiger, Lynx, wolves and even a fox. Check opening hours over the winter period.

Wet, rainy day and it didn't look much when we arrived, but pleasantly surprised. Thought it was a bit expensive for a small place, but changed our minds once we'd been there a while, staff were lovely. One of the tigers bit the other one so we went to tell someone, they were on it immediately, separated them and checked the hurt lion out, we went back to check and he was chilled out in his pen. Would go back again.

We went on Mothers Day and really enjoyed it. Not cheap for what it is as it is a small park (£32 for 2+2 kids) but there are some decent things here and some good interactive things (like holding snakes).Only 4 stars as the kids lunchbox, at £4, was utterly laughable with half a hotdog sized roll, tiny yoghurt, one bag of crisps and one small chocolate bar (other options, also small, are available) - my kids were left hungry. Adult lunches were also limited, but the range was better... Bring a packed lunch...

Almost £20 for 2 adults the place is tiny the car park is harrendous for the money they take a few Ton of gravel wouldn't go a miss the walkway once ur in is also got n miss having to hop over late puddles in the walkway muddy mess the cafe is so overpriced it's ridiculous and extortionate will not be returning here

I've just got back from a day at Woodside and have to say I had a wonderful time there with my family. The park is spotless, the staff are helpful and very knowledgeable and you can see how much they love what they do. The big cats are sensational. It really was a privilege to see such amazing cats with such horrid stories, relaxed and enjoying the sunshine.meerkats are brilliant, otters great, the birds are all in such great condition and the wolves are fascinating. getting so close to a sloth was not expected (husband excluded!) and I got some pretty awesome photos of an awesome animal.The staff who did the reptile handling helped our kids (5 & 6 years) hold snakes as they were a little scared. The staff were so patient and not pushy at all and both our girls held one. They were so proud of themselves, and still are now we're home!! I really do not have a bad word to say. I even think the food is reasonably priced too!We will definately go back :)

We went to Woodside yesterday and had a fantastic day. The wardens enthusiasm for the park and animals is infectious as they told us all about the animals and attractions. Being Christmas time they included a visit from Santa (with gifts for all the children) and mulled wine and mince pies at no extra cost. Santa took extra time to speak to all the kids which was really nice. Many places would charge extra for this but not Woodside. I love this place and really appreciate everything they do for animals.

I've been a few times now and I have enjoyed it every time. Friendly staff, always ready to help. Wouldn't hesitate to go back again and again.
