   We did the arctic fox and red panda experiences and really loved both! They weren't rushed so we felt we could take our time with the animals and enjoy the experience. They were similar to other zoos but what really made the difference was the keeper who took us for both experiences - I forgot his name but he was very Irish! He had such passion for the animals and was able to talk to us about much more than the standard animal facts. Thank you to him ✨

   Absolutely fantastic place! Lots to do, very interactive with the animals and informative. Easy to wander around in an afternoon but so much more to do than a large zoo. Particularly well organised, brilliant staff and animals obviously well cared for. Polar Bears are the big draw and they didn't disappoint I could sit and watch them all day. The Polar Bear talk was very good with the keeper knowing the bears inside and out and the bears knowing her. Great day out!

   What a great visit today paid at the entrance. £25 each, I'm sure if you book online you could get a little cheaper. Also at the entrance you can buy packs of feed for the wallabys and the deer. Price per pack is £1.95, no problem with feeding the Wallabys but the deer wasn't intrested so maybe grab 2 packs for the Wallabys. OK so price seems high but there's value for money to be had with the interaction with the animals also the keepers and there indepth knowledge talks are being held in most of the enclosers. If you have Children Peak Wildlife Park is a must visit. There's no time limit so you can take your time or drop into the cafe for lunch currently there doing pumpkin soup and a roll with various hot and cold drinks or grab a pizza that's cooked fresh. Around the entrance there's a sizeable gift shop so you can pick something up to remember your visit. Parking is free and there seems to be ample parking plus a section for mini buses and coaches. We had an amazing time here and will definitely be returning. Peak Wildlife Park staff, keepees and volunteers work extremely hard and only by the support of people visiting that they stay open. A big thankyou to all the staff that made our day so memorable.

   Absolutely love it here, the polar bears are a favourite but being able to get in enclosures with wallabies and buy food to feed them is a wonderful experience and beautiful setting. The park is great for all ages. They also have a play area for all ages which is brilliant. Would definitely recommend and also recommend seeing Santa here at Christmas in their tipi the kids absolutely loved it last year.

   Me and my daughters visited this wildlife park and it was a wonderful visit. The animals all look well cared for with plenty of space to move. The accessibility for wheelchair users was fantastic. Platforms made it easy to view animals and the walk around areas were not too small. Information about each animal was clear and easy to understand for younger children. There was an option to feed wallabies or deer, we opted for wallabies and were amazed when a joey popped its head out of its mom's pouch. Although my daughters are adults, the play area was fantastic, we would have definitely spent a fair while there when they were younger. Definitely a place to visit. If there were any recommendations for the park, it would be to have some Makaton signs by the enclosures.

   A lovely place full of different animals. Loved the walk through with the lemurs, wallabies and red squirrel. Even had a red squirrel jump up our leg!! The animals look happy and healthy and the keepers seem to know their stuff. Listened to a talk about lemurs and tapirs. We were there for about 2 hours which was enough time to see each animal as was quiet around. My husband had a bubble waffle which he enjoyed. Would definitely recommend a visit here and would love to return if ever near again.

   Hidden gem of a place. Really unique in that you're able to walk in with the animals which everyone loves. The food is lovely and reasonably priced and there's plenty of picnic places around the park. There's a huge bouncy castle and climbing frame for the kids, which again is surrounded by picnic benches so plenty of chance for adults to have a rest while the kids blow off some steam. Definitely worth a visit, highly recommend.

   My 5 year old did the mini zoo keeper experience here and he absolutely loved it. The staff were really friendly and patient with him, and even let my three year old join in at parts, even though he wasn't strictly part of the experience. The rest of the park is wonderful with a nice selection of animals, and the large play area was a big hit. A perfect size to make your way around without feeling like you need to rush to see everything like some larger attractions. Overall it was a great day out and I especially recommend the experience days. We will likely be back in a year or so when my youngest is old enough to do them.

   What a wonderful day. May sister and daughter had previously visited several years ago and it was wonderful to see how far the park has developed. We went around to visit all the animals and had such amazing experiences. We were most excited to stroke and feed the wallabies. All the staff we met were helpful, polite and informative.

   We took our two pre-school infants for a day out, to show them the wonder of animals that they would be very unlikely to encounter normally. The facilities and range of animals are basic - the proprietors and assistants are clearly enthusiasts who have built up the business. The animals are limited in number, as are the amenities. However, don't let this put you off visiting, as this means you are able to get very close to them and some you are able to safely pet. Several schools were present and, as a retired teacher, I have no doubt that their experiences will be of immense value. I would recommend any parents of young children to put this on their itinerary list.
