    Went here with my family, first thing to note is the map they give you is 5 years out of date…read more Quite a few animals have moved cages and the park's changed slightly so can lead to confusion. Most notably, they advertise penguins on their brochure as a main attraction which one of our party was very much looking forward too and only came for the penguins but they all died a while ago. The talks are informative. A good day out for the family still and enough to take up your whole day. Petting zoo is fun for all ages.

    We visited this zoo while on holiday at the end of the season, and had such a good day! The only…read moredownside which I'll mention now is the cafe seemed unable to cope with the lunchtime rush, and by 1pm had no sandwiches left and a half hour wait on hot meals! Great value tickets, nice little gift shop on the way out. They have such a wide range of animals for a fairly small space, all with wonderfully large enclosures, and all naturally managed - all the enclosures are as close as possible to their natural habitat, so the animals are happier and in better health. This can mean that they're hard to spot because they can be hiding in plant growth, but when you do see them they're so animated and fun to watch. Informative, educational and amusing talks are given by the keepers on the animals, there are various encounter sessions during the day where you get to hold some of the smaller animals, and reptiles and spiders and so on. The kids had a wonderful time, as did we, though we were surprised at how tired we were when we got back to the car - it's a deceptive space! Though on quite a small plot for a zoo, the paths and enclosures are arranged so that you get the impression you're walking round a much bigger place.

    What a wonderful place. Found this completely by accident but so glad we did…read more On vacation in Cornwall with our friends from London, We were doing the group activities with their family until we decided to split off for a day on our own. We come across the Sanctuary.......actually, I don't remember how we came across it but we found it and decided to go. They offered 1 hour hands on interaction with the owls in addition to admission for 50 pounds. At first I thought this was a little steep but they let the wife and I both participate for this amount. This became a fantastic deal. The first thing we did was go observe all of the owls in their housing. As with any exhibit, sign on the outside stating what region they're from, what they eat and so on. Never did I realized they were so many different species of owls. I honestly thought there were only two or three. Next, we met with the handler who instructed us on handling the birds and how to interact with them. Next, she brought us different owls ranging from small barn owls to an enormous, 11 pound Eagle Owl. Truly amazing creatures to observe up close. The young lady who taught us about the animals was really informative and a pleasure to talk with. In the sanctuary, you're not just limited to owls. Walk around the place and you'll find geese, raccoons, llamas, and cool pair of jack-asses that I had a real fun time hanging around with. Also, a small cafe onsite with decent food and of course, tea. If you're looking for something to do that really outside the box you should give this place a try. Even if you're not into animals that much I think you'll really be fascinated by these birds.

    This place is amazing! It's very hands on and educational, and for only £10!…read more We went on a cold, rainy, Easter Sunday. Because of the weather hardly anyone was there which was great for us. We started at the close encounters area where we were introduced to a variety of owls from the super tiny to the humungous. Each of their story, breeds and characteristics were explained to us and there were plenty of photo opportunities. We also got to stroke their heads and bellies. A flying display then followed with different birds. We got even more up close and personal with them flying and landing right next to us. We even had the chance to hold them. After viewing the different aviaries and various other animals in the sanctuary we caught up with one of the staff and helped to feed the emus, goats, meerkats, and raccoons. The best thing is that you could do the whole thing again as they run in continuous circles. If you're in Cornwall this is well worth the visit.
