South Lakes Safari Zoo

"I can not recommend Safari Zoo highly enough. Their animal experiences are absolutely amazing. If you love animals then this is the place to be. On our recent visit we did 6 animal feeds on our first day at the zoo. All the staff were friendly and knowledgeable. The next day we had booked the mammal keeper experience and it was simply awesome. Our keeper Natalie had brilliant knowledge of all the animals and she was simply a pleasure to spend the morning with. The fact that some of the animals free roam around the zoo plus the walk through areas make this such a special place. Thank you so much Safari Zoo and your wonderful staff for our very special time. We can't wait to return."

"Went to the zoo during summer holidays. Was warm and fairly busy but we had a really good experience. The staff are really friendly and happy to chat. The only 2 let downs are not allowing picnics, when you are allowed to buy food from there and eat it around the place, and also paid for penguin feeding, the guy who did it seemed miserable. Overall great experience. Worth the travel."

"Had a day out with a good friend catching up.. what a lovely place for a day trip. The big cats were a bit shy but that didn't spoil the day. If you're with someone in a wheelchair be prepared for a workout there are some steep paths All in all though fab day out we paid the extra £5 to feed the giraffes. You can also pay to feed the leemas and the penguins. There are other experience you can pay for like feeding the tigers or the sloths I think they are £35, which would be a great birthday treat for someone. Clean park, friendly staff animals look happy and seem relaxed .. nice family day out."

"Had a great day here. Plenty of Animals to keep you interested. Loved the bear. You can walk in amongst some of the animals which the kids found so exciting. They loved the play park. I was happy with the ticket price. The food in the restaurant was delicious..a wee bit pricey but since the tickets were so cheap, it's hard to grumble. Free parking, no picnics or smoking allowed within the zoo."

"This zoo exceeded my expectations. We had a wonderful day out and loved that we could get close to many animals. There was multiple feeding opportunities to observe and the chance to learn about the animals behaviours. There is a good variety of animals and opportunities to feed the animals at a fair price. We had bought a Groupon voucher which was good value for money but would definitely pay the zoos full priced entry as it is a good zoo. The zoo also has a fantastic play area and well stocked gift shop. As we visited in low season it wasn't too busy and most of the cafes were closed."
