Anyone been? Any good? Some sort of animal park with play areas apparently.
Going on Monday with my toddler.

Fantastic place folks.
Reasonable,lots and lots for children, picnic areas, clean and good food from the cafe too. My son loved it.
Will be visiting again. Between Bristol and Clevedon.

I've been recently. Yes, it's good imo. Duck ponds, camels, shire horses, ponies, play areas, chicks you can hold, all very nice. Pph, it's on the Wraxall rd from Long Ashton, signposted from the Bristol end of the Ashton bypass (and maybe the other end too, I just haven't approached it from that direction)

We've been and it is really nice. The only thing that surprised us was the christian side of it, which is fine, but VERY literal - i.e. world created in 7 days, here is the evidence etc. And in the animal parade in the barn the day we went it was very much 'And here is the cow, what do we get from cows, milk that's right, and GOD GAVE US COWS SO WE SHOULD THANK GOD FOR COWS and now the pigs.'
But it doesn't overpower the place at all - is perfectly possible to visit it as a nice animal place! And it has very good slides.

hmmmm, so no darwinian theory then??!!! thanks for the warning although my 4 yr old is definitely a creationist at the moment so that will fit in with his little world...!
