This is our salad corner … lettuce, beetroot, spring onions … & we have tomatoes & cucumber in the greenhouse … perfect for your Summer salads or crispy garnish when ordered in our bar or dining room :

We have also planted potatoes, beans, cabbage, cauliflower, garlic, onions, rhubarb, herbs, strawberries, sweetcorn & squash & have added miniature plum, apple & pear trees this year, too.

Meals & snacks are cooked freshly to order & served in our bar between 5 -7pm or traditional evening meals are served in our dining room if preferred.

There has been huge investment over the last few years with new enclosures replacing old, out-of-date ones (for example, the sealion area), new animals (such as a new pride of lions), the introduction of completely new animals such as the giraffes & penguins with state-of-the-art, purpose built enclosures (wolves coming this year) & fabulous “up close & personal” areas … my grandchildren LOVED these! Lemur Wood was their favourite as the lemurs were sitting sunbathing on the path, enjoying all of the attention they were getting from the visitors.

They also loved Amazonia (a recreation of a tropical rainforest) with tiny monkeys & parrots running & flying free; watch your bags as the monkeys are very adept at locating food! But it’s just lovely being able to get so close to the animals.

There is a play area for the kids & a cafe for when you need to get a second wind & if the kids STILL have spare energy at the end, there is a price reduction for zoo visitors for Playbarn entry.

Can’t be beaten for a family day out!

The building is new & modern, parking free & plentiful, the stock well looked-after & the setting is glorious with the huge cafe & restaurants overlooking a babbling “brook”. I can highly recommend the blueberry scones (worth a visit just for them!), although there are a multitude of cakes on offer which are enough to tempt anyone! Meals are also available but I never make it past the cakes myself!!

When you are “caught short” you will enjoy wonderful eco-friendly facilities, rainwater being used for flushing & the men’s facilities have to be seen to be believed; suffice it to say that I had to get my other half to take pictures!! But I won’t spoil the surprise for you … take a peek into the gents next to the cafe area!!!!

With a series of events taking place regularly from live music to cooking demonstarations, this place really has something for everyone & it’s just a short drive from Blackpool.
