Experiences with Animals in The East Midlands

We loved this experience and it was amazing value. It was great from start to finish. The keeper was professional and informative. The animals were adorable and very friendly. We enjoyed feeding and interacting with them very much. We were given plenty of time with them and weren’t at all rushed. You get reduced advanced entry to the zoo when you purchase this experience, which makes it even better value overall. The wider zoo is lovely and we made the most of seeing the other animals when we had finished our experience. Would highly recommend this as a present or just a treat to yourself.

We had a great day at the owl centre, our daughter loved it. Sun was out as well we had a picnic as well on the grass.

Mercer Falconry owner Dan, is full of knowledge and enthusiasm. He makes the session entertaining and everyone got to handle the birds, despite there being 30 people at the event. The birds are really well looked after and it is great to share in Dans enthusiasm and love for his craft.

Thoroughly enjoyed this experience

Jacob was excellent and very knowledgable. We were given trays of food for the animals. The experience didn’t feel rushed and the meerkats climbed all over us. The baby meerkats were adorable. The park was very clean with good facilities. Not sure how the park would be in the school holidays. We went during the week so it was lovely and relaxed. Buy a Gift was so much cheaper than direct through the park.

Easy to book and excited to go

My partner and I went on a 90 minute alpaca walk. The first half an hour was introducing us to the alpacas and a health and safety briefing. The remaining hour consisted of being paired up with your alpaca and taking it on an hour's walk. Lots of fun was had, the alpacas were so entertaining with their individual personalities! Would definitely repeat the experience & recommend to others!

We had a great morning, easy to find location, plenty of opportunity to get close to the birds, lots of information and opportunity to ask questions

The Meerkat Experience was very enjoyable . It was great to get in with the meerkats and learn about themThe Ark caters for rescued animals and does a lot of conservation work. A very worthwhile visit.

Fantastic service. Delivered very quickly and my family are delighted with the gifts

A lovely experience with the lemurs. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. A great zoo, seeing different animals. A very good day was had indeed.
