Zoo in Derby

“Had a wonderful experience celebrating Bon fire night with the children would definitely be returning next year lots of food variety very accessible and plenty of activities for all ages to join”

“Carla and staff are wonderful host. They were so accommodating to our group who all suffer from a degree of sight loss. The petting farm was wonderful rounded off with an excellent buffet.”

“Can't put into words how brilliant this place is, we were meant to visit last year but unfortunately my daughter broke her arm so we had to wait a whole year to get here! It was more than worth it though! We walked the alpacas Gordon and Teddy who were great little characters and were given photo time with them afterwards. We were even given a lunch and a yummy cake complimentary for waiting so long. Can't thank you enough guys! We will be recommending you to anyone and everyone! Thank you so much for an amazing day xxx”

“Niki is brilliant with my dog and his laser therapy really helps his leg .”

“I was encouraged to hold one of their snakes, although I have always had such a fear to the point of bad dreams about them. I haven’t dreamt of them since & I can honestly say ok I don’t like them still but I’m not afraid! Thank you so much”

“Such an amazing party experience, lovely staff, a great selection of animals the kids had a fabulous time, even the adults had fun!”

“Really good access to Shobnall Fields from the estate on Reservoir Road. The hill down the woods near Shobnall Field sometimes has cows in it. There is a senile old bumpkin that often stands near the field harassing walkers and people exercising their right to roam but she is best regarded as a local curiosity. In medieval times, she might have found herself in a dunking chair but thankfully times have moved on and she is tolerated by the good people of Burton Upon Trent knowing, as we do, that she is just another desperately unhappy farmer’s wife lacking in airs and graces. I encourage everyone to make the most of this fabulous shortcut and cut Karen some slack.”

“What can I say about this beautiful historic landmark? The craftsmanship is second to none. The artwork rivals that of the Sistine Chapel. The location is pure excellence. Everyone knows that Joseph Wilkes was a local legend, the man was a business genius that helped transform Measham into the utopia it is today. But did you know he was a vampire hunter? Local legend states that this sundial was built to ward off evil spirits and stop the Measham Vampire Tragedy of 1793. Don't belive me? Visit the site and see for yourself. You can clearly see the image of a vampire being slain on the base of the sundial. Many believe that drinking cheap lager on the bench next to the sundial after 9pm is the only way to stop the vampire menace returning... Could it be true? I certainly haven't seen any vampires in Measham recently! Just visit this monument for yourself and feel the pure energy and essence. You won't regret it.”
