The staff are amazing

The staff are amazing, friendly and they care so much for the animals. All the animals have names and appear to be very happy. The children look very happy and are interactive with staff and the animals.
The environment is superb.

Superb from start to finish. From excellent customer service from Jessie to a great experience over four days for my ten year old son. Great team, lot's of interesting things to do, and a ride home absolutely buzzing followed by royal exhaustion from a a day's work. Perfect.

Amazing experience

My daughter goes every Monday after school.
She absolutely loves it.
Staff are extremely friendly, and go above and beyond making the experience for the kids enjoyable, whilst learning at the same time.
Thank you.

Meeting the meerkats!

We visited the centre for my girlfriend's birthday, since she wanted to meet the meerkats from a long time ago and we enjoyed the experience a lot!! The man who attended us was very nice and respectful about all the animals; he let us feed the capybaras and the meerkats (they were soooo sweet). I really recommend this experience if you like animals : )

Perfect day for a curious animal lover

My 5 year old daughter is still raving about her day at ARC. She loved seeing all the animals, the feeding and doing crafts.

I asked her if there was anything she didn’t like about the day and said ‘yes, when it ended’.

We did a variety of holiday clubs over the week and this was by far her favourite.
