    I've been left with a bitter taste in my mouth after visiting this park because I haven't been convinced that the animals kept here are being given enough living space and care. Some animals don't have a companion to share their life with. Many, if not all, species of bird don't have enough space to fly. Other cages, instead, are crowded to such an extent that the animals could be overheard ferociously fighting with one another several times in a couple hours. Bees and wasps plague the place. They feast over the food that should be destined to the animals kept in the cage, and are a danger for animals and visitors alike. A young child was stung in front of me during my visit. A large majority of the animals purposely take shelter in the most remote corner of their small cages, showing clear signs of being stressed by the human visitors being allowed to approach their "homes" at such close distance. All in all, it feels like there are way too many animal species for this small place. This, together with the long opening hours, the small cages and other small details, leave the distinctive impression that the entire focus of this park is on pleasing the visitors instead of the animal guests. Even after looking at the website, it's mostly unclear what is being done to concretely support reintroduction of animals to their native environment. This is particularly concerning for those species advertised as being endangered by human activity. It would be helpful to clearly explain how this animal park fits the bigger picture of animal conservation and also justify at an individual level the presence of each and every animal in this park: why they are here? where do they come from? Are there plans to reintroduce them in nature? If no, why? What are the plans for improving their quality of life? Being honest about current limitations would also help showing visitors that the well-being of the animals is kept in high regard even when practical reasons might require some temporary compromise for a short while.

    The entrance fee is a little expensive, but worth it. I can see that in the layout of the premises with glass walls separating you from the animal. Makes for very good photos. As previous posts have stated, lots of shade, picnic style tables to sit on and playgrounds for kids. I saw animals I have never seen before. Not sure if it was a light day with the amount of people, but it wasn’t crowded at all. This is a nice treasure of a place.

    Great place to take our grandson. It took us a few hours to get through and we saw a nice variety of animals. I was nervous as one of the reviews didn't like the environment that the animals were in but we thought it was pretty well done. They clearly don't have the budget of a large zoo but it was quaint and appropriate for children (especially smaller children). We will be back

    This place was so fun! Super big. Not very busy either. The only downside is the Cafe was kinda gross. The food looked unappetizing but the gift shop was FABULOUS 👌! People say it's expensive but this place is cheap. The museum is an extra £4. (Bring coins or paper money)! Also. Bring £1 coins for the goat feeding machine!!

    Great zoo with plenty of trees providing shadow and not very busy even during holiday weekends. Specializes on endangered species. Only downside was limited offer of food in bistro.

    Waren gestern (19.4) hier. Schöner Zoo, zwar keine "spektakuläre" Tiere wie Elefanten, Löwen, Tiger, Bären, aber schön für die Kids. Insbesondere das Museum. Warum ich ein Stern weniger gebe (und da bin ich großzügig): Beim Kiosk für einen Burger 7 Euro zu bezahlen (satt wird man davon nicht), sowie eine kleine Cola (0,3), Fanta etc. 2,70 € zu bezahlen ist teuer und nicht wirklich gerechtfertigt bei diesen nicht großen Zoo. Außerdem fanden wir es als Touristen schade, dass es im Museum fast nur Beschreibungen in italienisch gab. Das kann man besser machen und alle Ausstellungsstücke in englisch beschreiben (Platz wäre da). Alternativ könnte man einen Audioguide mit mehrern Sprachen einführen. Aber insgesamt war unser Kind zufrieden und daher 4 Sterne

    Nice zoo with some rare animals. It's small but very well organized.

    Wenn man in der Gegend ist, auf jeden Fall einen Besuch wert. Das angrenzende Museum kostet 4€ extra - ist es aber wert. Toll für große und kleine Kinder.

    Der Park macht einen sehr gepflegten Eindruck und ist auch bei heissem Wetter gut zu besuchen, da er ausreichend Schatten bietet. Die Gehege könnten teilweise größer sein, Platz hierfür würde die Hälfte des riesigen Parkplatzes locker bieten. Die Tiere machen jedoch alle einen sehr guten Eindruck. Nur bei den Schlangen hat sich wohl schön länger keiner reingetraut, um u.a. die abgestrichene Haut zu entfernen. Vielleicht auch nur mein Eindruck als Laie. Die Ausstellung über die Entwicklung des Menschen und vielfältiger Lebewesen ist sehr sehenswert und hat uns mehr als überrascht. Man zahlt hierfür €4 extra im Zoo drin, aber die haben sich gelohnt (Münzgeld nur passend). Vor allem die Insektenaustellung war vielseitig und beeindruckend.

    Medium-sized but well maintained. Kids loved it and so did us.

    I didn't like it as much as the other reviews. Some cages where really dirty you could see that they didn't celan it, and there is a really strong smell of feces in almost every part of the zoo.

    Very small living spaces, many group animals kept alone. The saddest was the lonely hippo that had a pool not much bigger than its own body. Zoo was very clean though.

    Very nice zoo, it's small, but it has different playgrounds and a bar that serves sandwiches. It's very well kept and it's a great place to spend a few hours with the kids. You can bring your own picnic too.

    Awesome place! Everything is well put together, well maintained, the animals appear happy and well cared for. most of the walking paths are covered by trees so you're in shade most of the time on hot summer days. We went there with one and two-year-old kids, thinking we get an hour or two out of them, but we were there almost 5 hours and they loved every minute of it! Bravo!

  • 5/5 Adriana B. 2 years ago on Google
    Early morning access is definitely suggested to avoid the crowd. Nice picnic areas, the park is not too big so that you can easily visit without rushing through. I loved these orange birds, my son too :)

    Great little nature park. Mostly shaded which was nice because it was quite hot. Several play areas and picnic areas. Fun for the whole family.
