Gifts For Animal Lovers

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, the kids and the adults had a fantastic time. Staff were lovely too :)

We always use our buy a gift vouchers in the school holidays to spread costs. We had a great time at York Birds of Prey Centre. It's so hands on and you get really close to some magnificent birds

My 13-year-old and I had an amazing time on the meerkat experience. We went into three different enclosures where the meerkats climbed on us, sat on us and we got to feed them. We were really lucky as in the last enclosure there were three babies (6 wks) who also climbed on us and wanted lots of snuggles. Our guide was Charlotte who was fab and very knowledgeable. The actual zoo is great too with lots of different animals to see and some to handfeed as well. Definitely recommend this experience gift, and Hoo Zoo

Daughter loved the tour. Easy booking process

Quick, excellent service. Will be using Buyagift again. Thank you.

Brilliant. Dan was very knowledgeable and clearly adores his birds! Thoroughly enjoyable morning and would highly recommend spending a few hours with Dan, Whip, Sky, Peggy and Sway.

We did the meerkat experience and it was absolutely amazing

Had a great time, booking simple.

We treated ourselves to this experience and had a great time. We purchased the "add on" tickets, so we could spend the day here, before our experience time. There was just a small group- 3 couples, so we could all have a share in the feeding and fussing. A nice day out! Plenty of shaded areas too, much needed on a particularly exceptionally hot day, both for human visitors and the animals too. We didn't expect to enjoy the dinosaurs, but there was a wow from both my husband and I so that was a bonus!!! We used a groupon voucher, but have been singing praises to others, so this place will get more visitors coming on our recommendations! Thank you for giving us a Funday Monday!

We had a fantastic time at the event. The host was very knowledgeable and passionate about his topic. The variety of wines, cheese and chocolate items were all delicious. Amazing venue and easy to travel to on public transport.

A really good afternoon with Tom as our guide who was very knowledgeable. The wines were delicious along with the accompanying local cheeses.
