The information on this page was updated on 24th November 2001 by Lesley Wright who maintains a website www.otterjoy.com and has provided the following review:

Quite small in area but a lot packed in. Butterfly house (with free-flying birds) gives onto otter pens. Very good information signs, also giving history of specific animals. Fed frequently, owners very happy to talk to visitors.
