Part of an emailed review to the Park — From Cassie and family
A wonderful and worthwhile day out!
Explore the outdoor Paradise Island playground. Children can climb the towers, slide into the 'river' and ride a rocking dolphin.
On good weather days Zebedee, the Jungle Express Train will be out for a spin! Board the train near the picnic lawn and set off through the gardens of Glanmor House on a small route of two circuits around the house grounds (not the whole Park). Includes the top section of Parrot Jungle, a trip through a tunnel with Twinkly lights leading to behind the scenes at the back of the house. There is a small extra charge, and train times can be checked upon arrival.
For refreshments, the Otter Pool Cafe serves locally made cakes and pasties to delicious Ploughman’s lunches and hot dishes. You’re always welcome take your own food and drink and enjoy the picnic areas around the Park.
If one day is not enough, then great value Return Tickets are available. You only need to pay standard entry prices (minus any discount if available) once a year, and then before you leave you can buy a winter Return Ticket for just £6pp, and every time you visit you can keep renewing at that price, and they are valid for use up to 27th March 2026. (The scheme restarts every Easter).
A leader in conservation and home to Operation Chough and the World Parrot Trust. A wonderful and worthwhile day out.
