Parents are allowed to go into the area with their kids which is always good, especially if you've got younger ones, and there's loads there to keep you all amused. Wi-fi internet is available, so take the laptop along and get on with your own stuff while the kids play. The food is really good. When they first opened I got a peek at the kitchen and it was more like something out a 5* hotel than a cafe. Most of the food is proper cooked stuff, and there's a fair choice on the menu at reasonable prices. Most of the staff are really friendly, many have childcare experience. It's run by two couples who both have families so they've taken an proper interest in making the best of the place that they can. It's close to the school so it does get very busy at around 3pm but if you're able to go in the morning then it's lovely - I'd highly recommend taking a trip through Brigg to call in here if you're passing on the M180.

The animal centre is home to a collection of well known animals and also rare breeds. My favorite are the little tiny monkeys, I also love the racoons as they have proper little hands and stretch through the bars to hold your hand.the centre lets your kids interact with the animals when possible such as giving bottles to the baby lambs It takes a full day to see and do every thing,so when you want to eat,there is either a picnic area next to the childrens play area,or you can go to the barn cafe were they make excellent home made meals and snacks

When we arrived we were ushered to a parking space, which was already half full at 11am. Walking down a pathway we passed a couple of cool wonky funhouses and a restaurant bus until arriving at the entrance. Adults admissions was £9.95, this paid we went straight to the nearby cafe for breccie. The menu was basic but all fresh with jacket potatoes, cakes , Panini and sandwiches with various fillings. I grabbed a brie and cranberry panini, my dad a jacket potato..just in time as a few people piled in. To my right a show was going on outside with parrots playing basket ball. Food demolished we went to investigate. A billboard showed a regular list of talks and shows, for now we discarded this. The site itself is quite large, with a farm yard section containing goats, peacock, ducks and guinea pigs. Walking around the perimeter, displayed birds of prey, owls, vultures, stalks..several other displays contained wallaby and the butterfly house itself contained leafcutter ants, bats, crocodiles and of course butterflies. Everything seemed to surround the main stars of the show. Lemurs , meerkats and otters. I only attended two shows , one regarding lemurs, which was factual and not babyfied and one where several birds took part in free flying. Overall the site is well maintained and has several interactive parts to keep kids entertained. Random billboards that squirt water and plastic model dinosaurs inter-weaved with the scenery. The food at the cafe was satisfactory and the gift shop the usual marked up cost. Every staff member I came across was naturally fully energetic, friendly and enthusiastic. A good place to come when the weather is nice. Without the shows though there is not a huge amount to see and do.

They have a tropical room which is home to the butterflys as well as giant snails, ants and fish. The vast park is full of lovely animals which in most areas are free to wander around. They have falconry displays and ferrets which play games which the audience are invited to participate in. There is a relaxed feel about the place . there is a lovely woodland walk through the grounds and visitors are able to feed some of the animals with fruit and nuts etc which are supplied free of charge for the animals. the venue is suitable for all ages and disabled friendly although not much in the way of disabled parking. tucked away at the back of the gift shop is a childrens play area withich is really a a circuit with ample bikes, trikes, scooters etc suitable for ages up to around 10. they also have a circuit containg coin operated electric bikes at a cost of £1 a ride. Its a bit of the beaten track and it gets very busy especially during school holidays but definately worth a visit if you like animals

This little park started out as just a butterfly park but over the years has extended its collection and now houses birds of prey, ponies, pigs, llamas and racoons (to name but a few). The tropical house is home to the butterflies (plus some reptiles and other insects). The volume and variety of butterflies is breathtaking and the tropical house is well set out so you get plenty of opportunity to see the butterflies without feeling you have walked round in circles. Outside in the park you can explore all the other animal exhibits and catch one of the daily falconry displays. There is a new children's adventure play area and if all of this tires you out and you need to recharge your batteries then there is a lovely restaurant/cafe which serves delicious homemade cakes and lunches. The Gift shop is well stocked and the staff are all very friendly. All in all a fantastic day out.

Now this badger has two lakes; the largest lake is available for pedalo rides and has sandy beaches; the smallest lake is in a more secluded area to attract wildlife. It's perfect if you want to do a Freddie Flintoff and fool around for a while. It's also ideal to see some great things of interest in this beautiful world we have around us. I'm going all John Lennon on you now. You've also got loads of grassed areas and picnics are no problem either (except the fact it's always freezing and wet in England). Then throw in the Play World bit. This is where I need to fall back and remind myself that I'm not a child any more. For "real" kids though it's got with a tower slide, climbing frames, a toddler's sandpit area and a miniature railway. Toot toot.

I left with the feeling that I had wasted fuel driving to Hemsworth as there are better parks much nearer to where I live.

It doesn't look much from the outside but it's deceptively large once through the gates and is very well laid out.

The staff are really friendly and helpful giving good service and taking time to talk to people about the animals if you want to. The prices are quite reasonable too. Well worth a visit if you've got children.
