There is a great maze for the children which they loved and a swing called a Giant's Stride which is also lots of fun. Lots of nooks and crannys to explore. The garden runs down to the village/hamlet of Durgan and the beach which fronts a very busy piece of water - perfect for sitting and wathcing the world go by. Very nice tea room - reasonable prices - good cakes. Nice shop. Very helpful and informative staff. The toilet block is also worth mentioning - brand new, very clean and green. Enjoy!

This isn't a bad little zoo. Houses and works with the main animals you would expect in a zoo…read more Maybe one or two more different species would be nice but for what it is it's not too badly priced for what it is. To pass a few hours this is a nice thing to do in the heart of Cornwall.

We live nearby to twycross but much prefer this zoo. It's inexpensive and a far nicer place to walk…read morearound. Twycross has a huge amount of monkeys but they are mostly in little cages - at Newquay they've got their monkeys on a little open air island in a pond. There is no cage at all and they are contained by the water. It's this kind of feeling you get all round the zoo where they've obviously thought about the happiness of the animals as well as the paying public. You get very close to the animals, have Chipmunks crossing over your head in tubes. There are also play areas and places to have picnics. When we went I could have my hand stamped and nip back to the car to get my picnic stuff. They also have animal visits where they take smaller animals and reptiles round to schools and holiday parks. A really great place with caring staff.

We took our son a while ago and he was totally transfixed by the fish, and we thoroughly enjoyed it as well. I was particularly taken with the sea horse and could have stood and watched them for ages. It does seem a bit expensive, but then a place like that must take some running. There was a cafe and shop with a wide range of gifts from pocket money to quite a bit more money. Definitely worth a look in with or without kids if you like fish, and the setting right next to the beach is beautiful too.

The staff all around the aquarium are very friendly and helpful and give talks to people on the creatures and will answer any questions you have. The only downside I found was we got around a bit too quickly as with small children they didn't want to hear many of the details they just wanted to look at things, so perhaps best for older children I'd say if you want to make a day of it, as with small children you could be in and out in an hour which makes it expensive. x

Fantastic place to take the kids on a day out…read more Lots of animals for them to look at and pet, Mini tractors to ride on, Adventure playgrounds outside, Farm animals & bottle feeding, lakes and woods, a milking parlour where they can watch the milking process, but the main attraction for my kids has always been their indoor play area The Bull Pen. With ball pools, slides, demon drop soft play area plus a good cafe it makes a great day out for our family. You can relax with a cuppa knowing that they are safely playing. Basically a fun day out no matter what the weather, if its raining when you get there you can do the Bull Pen til it stops if its ot raining its a great place to walk around in the sun and all kids love petting the animals :) x

There are displays of old tractors, a nice farmland walk-although its quite steep when returning! Endless amounts of kids playground facilities. There is a huge indoor bull pen which is jam packed with soft play equipment. The best thing about this is that the adults can acommpany the children around the soft play and slides. The food prices are reasonable as is the admission fee for the park itself. Ample car parking and a nice selection of goods in the giftshop-which is reasonably priced too. A really good day out for everyone

There are various paths to follow and all quite pretty. There is a section for young children to play. There are some falls and ponds. Some trees are so tall you can't imagine how old they must be. The paths can lead you past an amphitheater built by hand and end up at the beach where you find some picnic tables and a small takeaway cafe with ice cream and drinks. At the entrance where you leave afterwards is a cafe with various things and a gift shop. There is also an area to buy plants. It's a pleasant place to spend a few hours. Dogs are allowed as well. The paths have some steps or hills but manageable. We all enjoyed it.

We went there cause of the very good ratings and were disappointed. I don't think this garden is so…read morespecial. You have all the plants there you can see in private gardens or just at the side of the street when driving through Cornwall: masses of giant rhubarb, hydrangeas, rhododendron in a small valley. Maybe it's necessary to take a guided tour. The garden is small, walking through it, down and up again, it takes you not more than an hour without any hurry. You have a little artificial fish pond, a pond with a rhubarb in it with a tacky white bridge. Well there are maybe two or three nice viewpoints, but that's not enough. The toilets were very clean, that I can praise ;-). It's definitely too high priced for what you get, 3£ would be enough.
