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 :)

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

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

Daughter loved the tour. Easy booking process

We had the bird of prey experience given to us for a birthday present. We had a great morning and the falconer was extremely knowledgeable. He kept us enthralled the whole time and we learned a lot about birds of prey. We got to handle them afterwards and we all had a go at flying them. Wonderful experience. One word of warning. There’s no seating so it was a bit hard on the legs having to stand for 3 hours. Bring a fold up chair if you can. It was a bit chilly standing in the field, so wear plenty of warm clothing. Highly recommended

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

Had a great time, booking simple.

Me and my daughter came for the gorilla encounter today 29/6 what amazing experience to feed the silver back and his family ontop of there enclosure. It was an honour. I can’t recommend this experience enough. We had the best day. Thank you port lympne zoo I salute you

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.

Really easy to book and great price will use again

We did the meerkat experience and it was absolutely amazing
