The animals at Dartmoor Wildlife Park are fantastic, well looked after, well housed and clearly well loved, the staff are polite and the setting is beautiful. Take your own food and drinks! Very expensive to get in, 4 adults and a small child cost us around £45 entrance fess. The food is way too expensive, £1.60 for a small tub of ice cream, £2.50 for a small bowl of cheesy chips which were cold and had to be replaced, which took 20 minutes. The coffee was also cold, so all in all the catering needs urgent attention, it lets down what is otherwise an excellent place.

Dogs are now no longer allowed inside (which seems more sensible considering how many diseases can be passed onto neighbouring species).
The first time was pretty uneventful, with a majority of attractions broken, out of order or unavailable on the day. The 2nd and 3rd time were the same. Also interestin ...

Dartmoor Zoological Park is perhaps better known now throughout the UK as 'Ben's Zoo' following the BBC documentary series.
This is a Zoological Park and not a traditional zoo. Starting less than 18 months ago with a very run down venue in danger of being closed down by the Local Authority, Ben Mee (Zoo owner and Director) and his family and Zoo Staff have made herculean efforts to renovate, restore and build new animal accommodation since taking over the Park. There has been a huge amount of wo ...
