Good park, a picnic oriented place.. Can’t fully say it’s a wild life park.. If you’re seeking to see many wildlife animals it’s not the right place.. If you’re looking for a place to enjoy picnic and see some animals it’s the best choice.

Wonderful day, lovely gardens and trees, animals and birds. Has areas of beauty and relaxing for adults. However also a great place for children with lots for things for them to see, activities to do. Lots of seats and grassy areas to have picnics, apparently in peak season there are a few cafes, only one with limited selection was open when we went.

First time visiting this park, as just a spur of the moment. Fairly large park which we were taken slightly aback by. Good selection of wildlife at the park, keepers passionate of the animals when giving talks. Plenty to do while at the park, whether to relax in the Japanese styled tranquil gardens, ride a train, which is included in the ticket price. A decent selection of playgrounds for the kids to play around in. Unable to comment about food as took a packed lunch. Allow a good few hours to explore the entire park. Make sure you take a photo of the map when you first enter the park as one isn’t provided, but where’s the fun in exploring the park with a map!

It's a small wildlife park so take around 1 hour to walk around, the train ride is fun to go on, which circles around. There's a small gift shop on the way out and 2 cafes selling a small menu of lunch time food. The chicken nuggets we ordered were tasty.

Had an amazing time at Beale Wildlife Park. The animals are well kept and have spacious enclosures. The playgrounds are amazing for kids and also the train ride, which is included in your ticket price. You can pay for extra rides for the train at the ticket office. Definitely would go back again and can't wait ❤️
