What a lovely experience! Even on a rainy day it was well lit and comfortable. All the animals are well cared for and appreciated in each of their enclosures. Definitely and exceptional spot for young kids and their birthday parties! Lots to see and do

Good place to bring the family.

Lots of interesting facts around too,so you could learn something.

Certain Snake ???? pens looked quite bleak it did say they were busy with it but would take 5 mins just to put some rocks and bush in as it was just empty apart from the ???? as they did look a bit sad.

Plenty to see for an afternoon or morning.

Definitely worth a stop by.

Wouldn't reccomd the restaurant service was pretty poor.

Really fun, especially for kids. For teens it's a good place to take good pictures. Fun and interesting animals to view. Amazing restaurants but service could be better

Great interactive experience. The animals look well kept and looked after. We really enjoyed the witty animal jokes that they have posted around the facility.

Exotic animal world is a very fun day activity for the whole family. They have loads of animals to see and educate yourself and your loved ones on.

There is a cute café on sight that serves food and drinks. There is also a gift shop to get a little souvenir on your way out.

They keep rescue animals and you can also adopt some. The animals are well looked after and they have a good spacious environment filled with enrichment to play with. I was lucky to be there during the owls feeding time and snapped amazing photos.

I highly encourage you to take your family. They are so appreciative for some customers during this tough time. Your money is being used to buy these animals some food and to keep the enclosures clean.

I had an amazing time, thank you so much!

The weekend outing was a disappointment when we found that butterflies do not feature at this establishment any more.
This center now focuses on the rehabilitation of exotic animals.
The management shows an incredible dedication in a difficult financial environment.
I salute them for a brave effort in spite of financial constraints.
An interesting visit for young children.

This was Butterfly World before Covid, but due to lockdowns they haven't been able to import butterflies. It's now an animal sanctuary. It's great for kids to see the animals, but it's pretty standard as far as animal parks go. There is also the obligatory coffee shop and gift shop.
