Compact zoo on Reaseheath College grounds featuring meerkats, servals, African civets, birds of prey, otters, and snakes. Keeper talks and bookable capybara encounters available. Open weekends and college holidays only.
🏆 Funzaroo Verdict
Best for families with children who want close-up animal encounters rather than the scale of a large zoo. The small size is a practical advantage for younger children who tire quickly, and the exotic species list punches well above the site's footprint.
