   Brilliant day out for families and nature lovers alike. We were greeted by friendly and knowledgeable staff inside a clean, well kept and cosy visitor centre. The park is split into two halves: one that has lots of endangered birds and some things to entertain children, and another that feels more like a traditional nature reserve. Both sides are quiet, peaceful and interesting to explore. Plenty of variety of ducks, swans and geese, as well as rarer species such as cranes and flamingos, to look at. You can even feed the birds in the European section. Lots of exceptionally clean hides, some with stunning panoramic views but all with beautiful views (it is possible to see even more animals from the hides), additionally there is an observation tower in the visitor centre which offers stunning views of the landscape and nature, sadly if you are in a wheelchair you can't get to this one as it is only accessed by steep, spiral steps. Plenty of things to keep kids entertained, and quite a few places to stop for a picnic. The whole thing is set on a beautiful landscape which makes coming even more worthwhile. Definitely worth a full day's worth of a visit.

   Fabulous day out for the family or on your own. The birdwatching is amazing, so many different species. There's lots of activities for children at holiday times. Nice cafe with efficient hard working staff. The car park is free and of a good size. We've been here many times in the past and will surely visit many more times in the future.

   Had a great time with my wheelchair bound friend and her mother (she hired a mobility scooter). They both had a lovely time pottering around the paths (most were accessible with care, if a little bumpy). We had a very enjoyable cake and coffee/tea, with a couple of gluten free options.

   Fabulous few hours in this beautiful location. Lots of wildlife to see and opportunity to feed the geese and duck (remember your stock of 20p). Free parking, dogs on leads and easy access for those with mobility issues. Staff are very friendly and I was fortunate to get in for £1 as part of the HASSRA scheme. Lovely cafe and gift shop.

   Absolutely fantastic day out of anyones looking for somewhere to take the kids. And if you live local an annual pass is highly recommended! We try to go once a week if the weathers nice and it costs me less than £10 for a family of 4 with a pass.

   Wonderful place. There is 2 areas. Free birds wetland. And captive birds. The free wetland has 3/4 hides and lots of viewing places around a lovely walk. Expect to to spend at least 3 hours at least here.

   Kids loved it and so did we. Lots of interaction with animals. Gease were so tame that they came and ate out of our hands. Lovely to see flamingos too. Each section has its own huge Lego animal at the entrance. There are small play grounds for the children and lots of climbing and balancing opportunities. Different ways to find out more and learn about the species at the centre and around as. Wish we had time to spend longer there but we had to find a park up for the night so had to leave. Unfortunately the interactive water feature wasn't in use at the time we visited due to the on going drought in the area, it didn't spoil our day but it would be nice to visit again and have a go as it definitely looked worth doing. Will definitely visit again next time we are in Wales and highly recommend it with kids who like to run around.

   We had a lovely day at the Wet lands. Plenty of different birds to see, including flamingoes and plenty of open space and walks to keep you busy. The lego model trail which is a temporary exhibit is well worth a look. The only reason I've given a 4 is the cafe, the frappe and milkshake we ordered were thin and warm, suggesting that they were over blended and the customer service was lacking. The rest of the staff were super helpful and friendly.

   A lovely place to visit. The place is huge. Loads of ducks to feed so buy a few bags. Not cheap at £1.50 but is a good cause you are supporting. Lots of different ducks to see and they will follow you for more food!! Haha was fun. There are 2 parts one the sucks and the other the reserve which is a lovely long walk around the reserve. You do need a good day there. Wasn't too busy. Cafe overlooked pond and you could watch birds feeding on the feeders. Cafe a little pricey but the food is lovely they have on offer. Also have a shop on sight again a bit pricey but lovely stuff in there. A good day. I would go back again but get there earlier and take a picnic.
