West Midland Safari Park

We had great day here with our 2 years old toddler, it was certainly the best day of our kiddo’s life as he explored many animals here first time. They offered everything here including rides, restaurants, cafes and shops. They have separate areas for penguins, aquarium, birds, reptiles and bugs which you can walk through. Anyway highly recommended place for family. They also got Safari lodges if you want to spend your days here with view of walking rhinos and elephants in front of your bedroom. ❤️

Our first visit as a family to WMSP and by and large; we really enjoyed our time (all day!) in the park. Whilst the tickets were expensive, they do include a return within six months, so it's quite reasonable (provided you use it again!)The safari section of the park was extensive and had a wide variety of wildlife to view up close (including numerous carnivorous cats and dogs!) The only bugbear we had, was that there wasn't enough monitoring of careless visitors blocking the road for long periods and not abiding by the two-lane system which was clearly signposted.The safari took us several hours to get around, which seemed ideal, but bear it in mind before you go in!The theme park side of the park was quite big and had some surprisingly good rides! Queues weren't an issue, but some rides didn't seem to last very long and it seemed like you waited longer for the rides to start than the time you spent on them!Food offerings were fairly expensive, but that isn't to be unexpected in a place like this. What they really lacked is a place to fill up a bottle of water.We will definitely be back!

We had a good day out with our grandson, aged 4. We ate at the Dino Diner, and the quality of food for a child was extremely good.The walk around zoo was enjoyable, and we saw the Sea Lion show as well as all of the other exhibits. The drive through Safari Park had all of the bigger animals that were all on show with some great interactions with the safe ones...The main downside of the day was a lack of signage upon arrival and lack of staff to ask for help from.Other than that, we all had a great day, and I would recommend a visit.

Worse than a motorway traffic jam!I’m writing this as we are sitting in a car in a line of traffic and I clearly have too much time on my hands to do this. Do not visit here unless you want to be stuck in traffic with young children. Both my kids have got so fed up of looking at green grass and the lack of animals unless it’s a deer of some sort! This was a birthday treat for my 2 year old and we’ve wasted his day completely. The staff are rude we finally seen a lion in the distance after waiting an hour and as I stopped to show my son the staff in the jeep shouted at me to keep moving!! This place is a money pit they have no consideration for paying customers and they are all about the money. We booked a paw patrol meet and greet but because we got stuck in the chaos we missed that too!! Absolutely ruined my sons birthday and left him bored and my elder soon upset that he didn’t see many animals. Close this place down and put the very few animals they have in a nicer place where they will be looked after. We’ve been coming here for many years and I can honestly say this will be the last time I will spend my hard earned money in a dump like this. Staff need to get some training. Thanks for completely spoiling out valuable time

This is an excellent place to spend an entire day, or even several! Housing a drive through safari, with plenty of animals to see up close, a walk through zoo with many interesting exhibits and shows and a theme park, set among beautiful, tranquil scenery with plenty to entertain all ages.There is plenty of dining opportunities and even some charming, safari themed holiday lodges. If you like nature, I highly recommend this place.The only criticisms are that the safari, as enjoyable as it is, can get very busy and you may need to wait behind gates for some time. Patience is very much advised if looking to visit on busy days.Also, I do feel the opening hours should be extended in the summer, as a visit in the evening would be a very enjoyable experience.Otherwise, I would consider this among the best zoos in the UK. Definitely a place worth visiting.

A very enjoyable journey, buying tickets online with a free return ticket is truly great value.During the first visit, I was unaware that besides the drive-through, there was another area for sightseeing.But this time, with the prior knowledge, I can fully enjoy it. It's a place where you can get up close to wild animals, with amusement facilities and rides. You can truly have a full day of fun.My favorite part is the sea lion show. Sea lions are very intelligent and adorable, and the atmosphere of the show is fantastic. Both adults and children really enjoy it.I highly recommend this place, just remember to purchase tickets and make reservations online in advance to enter.

Always a good family day out and worth the money, especially with a free return visit (there are terms but still great value). If on a budget, take your own picnic, there is plenty of parking on site. Best get reasonably early and take tour first. This gives you time for food and other attractions later. Dinosaur trek was great, and kids love it (some exhibits need small TLC, but they are still marvelous). Sea Lion show well worth visiting. All around, there is lots to see and do enjoying a full day out at good value. Go to the website and look at the park map (menu , plan, park map) you can then plan your day to get the best out of your visit. We didn't really use rides, but they are great for young children and those young at heart.I have visited many times over the years and still enjoy it each time.

This place would be amazing if only they managed the inflow of customers/cars.No word of a lie it was like queues on the M6. Took us over 2hrs to complete the safari which I imagine with traffic management could do half that.Feeding the animals is a bonus and there's plenty of them but only within limited areas.The walking area was okay, more dinosaur themed than a zoo but you can get to feed tropical birds.The theme park element again is okay however, a third of the ride were on.

The animals were good to see after waiting in a queue and then told we had to buy tickets from the kiosk back at the centre.The displays were good but some of the models especially in the ice Age section were damaged probably vandalism. The grounds were a little run down. Sad to see most of the tree ferns had died.The sea lion show was amazing.Bring your own food because its pretty expensive especially if you've a family.
