I love this small friendly wildlife park - it has something for all ages and obviously cares deeply about its animals and the environment. I go frequently with members of our family - from young children to OAP's and all enjoy it. The staff are friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. We particularly like the big cats and meercats. The experiences are a wonderful gift and my mother in law will never forget her meercat experience. There is an indoor play area for the younger children to get rid of some energy while we enjoy a coffee and cake, they do a range of food to cater for most people. Although the park is small compared to the large zoos it is perfect for family days out - we never seem to have enough time. Thoroughly recommend Tiger Day.
This is a great wildlife park to go to for the family with younger children. It is just right with a children's area, lovely calm animals and small paths leading through the park. I can fully recommend taking part in one of their many events that run throughout the year. The park has a Hedgehog Hospital next to it where they look after rescued, ill, hurt hedgehogs and baby hedgehogs. https://sheprethwildlifepark.co.uk/Html/index.php/2-uncategorised/72-events
We always have a great day when we visit the park. There is lots to do for the family and aside from seeing the wonderful animals (Amba the tiger is their favourite) the play barn and outside playground keeps then entertained. The staff are always very friendly, definitely recommend visiting if you haven't been already!
In July My children, 9 and 7 years old, and my dad 67 years old with walking disability went to Shepreth Park for a fun day out! We had the most marvellous time! The Park is well equipped for a person on a motorised chair, so my dad was able to enjoy all the park sites. The children loved the animals, the information was plenty and kept fun for everybody. Staff was excellent!! The introduction and Q&A tutorial before the "feed of the tigers" was educational, clear and my children came away buzzing! We had a spot of rain on the day and the covered play barn was a great refuge. My dad and I had some lovely food and drinks, while the kids played on the soft play area. I cannot fault the Park and I invite more people to spend the day. great day out for the family with picninc area (where you can eat your own prepared food!!! No need to spend extra!) Brilliant, children are already asking to repeat the experience next year!
My wife suggested the trip from Peterborough to visit Shepreth. I did the usual and checked reviews here and was a little concerned at some negative comments. Small was a comment that frequently popped up but that did not discourage me as it is a comment sometimes used to describe our favourite local wildlife park Hamerton near Sawtry which we are almost residents ourselves!Shepreth easily found well signposted - car park excellent despite recent bad weather - not poor as was claimed in one review. Also disabled spaces next to entrance which helped us immensely.Entrance is through the gift shop which is very well stocked with some good items not always seen elsewhere .Merchandise is also very reasonably priced. The lady on the desk was very pleasant and happy to help. There is a Costa machine here as well if you need a drink after your journey.Disabled toilet is just inside the entrance to the park adjacent to the shop so again great if you have had a long journey. Other toilets are spaced out through the park.Overall view is that this is a great place animals all look healthy and the park is very clean and litter free. The fact that there is running water in the form of lakes and streams throughout is a bonus and we look forward to a return trip in the summer.I don't understand the comments about worn out cages enclosures etc - they look fine in their rustic setting and I see no problems . As for comments about not many animals to see tell that to my camera! This is a wildlife park not a circus so people would do well to stand a while and keep quiet and observe (a good tip for any wildlife park or zoo) quite often you will then see what is about.We didn't see everything so have to go backHighlights very cute photogenic otters. Standing in the twighlight zone for half an hout and having a bat land on me several times I love bats.My wife loved seeing Amba and Rana the two tigers and the keepers talk even though we have heard other keepers talks was very informative.I would highly recommend Shepreth - if you want a clinical commercial zoo then just go to London. If you want a pleasant day out with friendly staff and animals who are clearly happy then come here
Have not been here since our son was about 11. He is now 21! My husband and I visited and were totally amazed and very impressed at all the changes. LOTS of work has been done. The Red Panda was out and about and seeing the beatiful and magificent tiger on the top of the platformy thing from the bridge was my personal highlight.. There was a real feeling of nothing in between you and this amazing creature. The bat house is great.. Ooo and the bunnies running free we will mist certainly be back! Extremly good value for a fab day out!
A lovely family run wildlife park and conservation centre with plenty to see and do for all the family. The Park participates in the national breeding programme and hosts a Hedgehog Hospital. Most families will come to see the tigers, but my favourites are the recently added red pandas and the meerkats, children will love the bat cave and bug city. The staff and volunteers are very friendly and extremely knowledgeable. Keep up the good work!
We had a lovely time at Shepreth, the staff were so nice, and many cute fluffeh animals, the enclosures were very well maintained and the animals all looked so contented. Best was the baby meerkats, too cute, we were lucky enough to see them out and playing, staff wouldn't let me take one home :(I recommend you go and support Shepreth, the staff obviously care greatly for the animals and that was lovely to see.
I have taken my children to shepreth several times over the years and have always had a lovely time. The play barn, tigers and play areas are my childrens favourites! The staff are all welcoming and happy to help.
This is a small park but it is a bit expensive for a family day out. There are plenty of play areas for children and different animals to see, just don't go expecting to see loads of animals as it is only a small park. There are animal encounters and talks throughout the day but definitely more for kids than adults.
