"We really enjoyed our visit here-it's very well set out with extremely friendly staff and volunteers who are very well informed-their talks about the different animals were terrific. The animals all looked very well cared for and happy. The highlight was being able to hand feed giraffes-my 16 & 12 year old sons were thrilled to do this. http://www.wildlifeworld360.com"
