    Date of visit: Saturday March 2022. Located within the College and University grounds. Went here to see the new born lambs. Tickets were only Β£8 per adult which is a bargain as it includes the mini zoo. Could easily spend a full day here. It was a busy time, so took about 30mins to wait in the queue to hold a lamb. Parking was no problem. Wheelchair accessible. Cafe was great, I had a baked potato which was cooked perfectly. The mini zoo was much more expansive than I was expecting, with small monkeys, lemurs and wallabies.

    Bigger and more animals than we expected. Animals all looked healthy and happy. A bit of a walk from car park to entrance and you have to pay online as nowhere to pay at entrance. Well worth the price and we'd visit again. Only open at weekends and school holidays.

    Didn't even realise Reaseheath College had a mini zoo attached, and that it was available to the public. Reaseheath Mini Zoo is a lovely little zoo which is reasonably priced, with a wide range of animals, I was pleasantly surprised & amazed that they even had Capybara & Tapir's. Today we took advantage of the February half term offer "Kids for a Quid" The kids loved it.

    Great little animal park, we went for the South American experience and really enjoyed feeding the capybaras and Timmy the tapir. Friendly staff and all the animals look happy and well cared for.

    The mini zoo was great, all the animals seem happy and well looked after, their enclosures were clean and you could see boards all around for the staff and students to write who did what and when to ensure nothing was missed. They had a lady doing a talk about birds of prey which was interesting and informative. We got a wowcher deal for a family of four so was even more reasonably priced.

    A fun day out, even for adults. Being a non profit zoo, most of the animals seem well cared for and have nice enclosures. Definitely worth a day trip if you are visiting Cheshire.

    Lovely little zoo. Great price. Went round twice and managed to see every animal which was brilliant. The walk from the carpark to the zoo is a bit lengthy but is all flat. Spent about three hours there really enjoyed it. Great selection of animals, all their animals looked happy and healthy.

    Thoroughly enjoyable. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable. The zoo was clean and well kept with a lovely variety of animals including capybaras, lemurs, porcupine, giant tortoise, serval and tapir to name a few! We spent about 2hours here. I will definitely come back again for one of their animal encounters.

    The animals are very well looked after however I do feel like some of their enclosure could be better enriched. Some of the animals express stress behaviours such as pacing which isn’t pleasant to see. I suppose that’s what happens when animals are confined πŸ˜’ It’s a nice place to take small children but for others it could be considered boring.

    This is an excellent value for money afternoon out. Lots of animals to see. 7yr old grandson thoroughly enjoyed it

    We visited for the first time today after finding it recommended on a website to go to see capybaras. As it was, they only have one and they've changed the age of the experience so my son couldn't do his 8th birthday treat. He is Autistic and its his special interest but we managed to explain to him he the plan had changed- website definitely needs altering. That being said, we had a really nice few hours at the mini zoo and I can't fault the care of the animals, the enclosures are immaculate. It was perfect for a family like mine as it was quiet, most zoos are too crowded and overwhelming for 2 of my children and they had a lovely calming time here. There is only a vending machine but loads of picnic benches to sit and have a picnic. We will definitely come again next school holidays

    Nice little place. I went on a Saturday 28Β°c at 12:30 it was dead. Nobody to show my paid tickets to, so I didn't even have to payπŸ˜… but I'm happy to have as it goes to the care of the animals. Everything was so nice and tidy. Clean water. Clean bedding. The animals look so well taken care of. It's just a nice stroll. Took about 1 hour and 45 mins for us but it was so hot that we kinda rushed a bit more. You walk pass the cafe pass the football pitch and follow the path to the right and its there. But there are signs. My son is 11 and loved it with his ipad taking pics and videos. Especially of the dog type animals by the goats fighting over a carcusπŸ˜†My 6 year old loved it. Cause it was nice and quiet and just a calm walk. Not too much or too little to see. The otters were SO cute. It's not a full day out but if you want something to do for 2-3 hours then I'd recommend it. Staff were lovely and answered our questions. Unfortunately the capybara has passed away 😞 but was told more will be coming end of summer. So we will be back to see them. Exotic area wasnt up to much. But hey ho. I'd recommend taking some sandwiches as only a vending machine there. And it wasn't over priced. Everything was about Β£1.10. So thats reasonable. Plenty of benches. Reasonably priced at Β£18 for 1 adult 2 children.

    Absolutely brilliant little zoo. So many wonderful, well cared for animals to see. My sister treated my son to the Capybara experience for his birthday, and it is definitely the highlight of his year. Getting to feed and pet the capybaras is something he will never forget. The staff are all so friendly and knowledgeable. Definitely worth a visit!
