“We visited Miller’s Ark Animals for their Adults Day last weekend and absolutely loved it. We spent time with adorable dinky donkeys, cows, sheep, goats, lambs, and some very noisy pigs. It was such a fun, hands-on experience! The whole place feels calm, welcoming, and genuinely caring, and the staff clearly adore the animals. If you’re looking for a relaxed, up-close animal experience, I’d really recommend a visit to Miller’s Ark. We can’t wait to return!”

“Amazing, every staff member was lovely and friendly and helpful. every animal was beautiful, we got to see 8 day old goats, lambs, a tiny baby donkey, full grown horses, donkeys and cows, pigs, and you can go in all their enclosures and stroke them. Cafe millionaires cake was a bit naff but inside cafe itself was nice, toilets clean, hand washing stations had foot steps for littles and actual warm water. Hand gel for cleaning everywhere as well”

“If you are looking for that extra special event to add the true Christmas spirit to your festivities then the living nativity is a must to see. The team put on an excellent show and the animals are the cutest you've ever seen and all very friendly. Great atmosphere, lovely attention to detail. I must to see this Christmas.”
