Great day out

The day out was great in all respects. But we had been given a gift and could choose anything up to the gift price. We knew we had to buy the experience before Sunday, but thought, due to all the BuyaGift pages saying, 'valid for a year', that once noted it was valid for a year. No. The experience had to be taken by the expiry date too and that's not made clear enough. Luckily we had decided to do it now so did not lose out. It costs £20 to extend the voucher. So I'd say, don't bother with an open voucher that can be used for anything, get the experience itself. Added to which, I was emailed a load of cheaper offers for the same experience but couldn't use them as I had been given a gift voucher. It was all a bit frustrating, but the day out, seeing the animals and tea were great.

Great day out.

We had a really good day out. Staff there was really friendly and helpful. Reasonably priced for snacks and drinks. Approx a 15 min walk from Camden station. Really nice day out.

Excellent experience!

Website was easy to use with information about how to use the voucher. On arrival to Hoover Farm it was easy to use the voucher. The guide who took us on the experience was knowledgeable, professional and friendly. My son and granddaughter had the best time and enjoyed interacting with 2 sorts of lemurs and meerkats. Well worth the money for a priceless memory making experience.

Far too exceeded our expectations

Our 3 hour experience was absolutely amazing. Set in the garden of the Mole Trap pub in Epping Forest. Laura, the falconer was full of fascinating facts about these amazing birds. We were able to hold several birds, including an enormous bald eagle, various owls and a Harris hawk. We had the opportunity to have some of the birds fly to our gloved hand. The location was in the middle of nowhere, but had the added bonus of the pub to enjoy a meal after. Thoroughly recommend.
