On arrival i got a sense that it was going to be mega busy. The safari section looked like the M25.....so we decided to do the park bit first. The rides are pretty old but good fun all the same and not bad value but i've only one child. Can't comment on the food places as took a packed lunch. The animal section is great, sea lions, bat cave, reptile house - probably the best bit of the park. So far i'd be on 4 stars as i was really surprised how good it was, i even thought the queues would have eased for the safari section. How wrong can a man be, there are not many times i have lost the will to live at a leisure attraction......i did today. I was very dismissive of a sign that said 'short cut' to avoid lions, wolfs, white lions etc why miss the highlights of the park. Now i know the reason for the sign.....oh my god, somebody shoot me.....2.5 hours to drive probably 1 mile, the problem was pure weight of traffic. An absolute joke, no escape either. The main issue is the traffic light gates that control the traffic, add to that a busy half term and you really want to kill yourself. All i was waiting for was my 8 year old to say he needed the bathroom.

The park is great, i have to say it, a real surprise. Feeding the animals from the car is great fun, you can't even say its badly priced. However, will i go again in the holidays/weekends......not on your nelly.....i'd sooner stick needles in my eyes - which means i'm not likely to visit. They need a different system as the current one clearly doesn't work. You can't even say lets get out of here i've had enough, you are as caged as the animals are.

A good effort of a park that is clearly poorly managed. Shame.

West Midlands Safari park - amazing - loved it so much that i went round for five hours on first visit and and three hours on second return visit. Important to get there for 10am otherwise long queues. As long as you keep receipt you can return to safari park as many times as you like in one day. We went at 10am and again and 4.30 pm. and 7 pm. The animals were all very active at 7 p.m. how many places can you visit where you get a free return ticket! I intend to return again in a month's ti ...

Had a nice day out at West Midlands Safari Park. It took about 2 1/2 hrs to get through the safari park because of the queues of cars. But this didn't bother us and the time went quite quickly. It was amazing to be so close to the animals. Face to face with giraffes, zebras, etc. We were surprised to find short queues in the amusement park (although firends had told us that they had experienced long queues). Longest I queued was 15 mins - and this was a sunny Saturday in mid August. I went on al ...

west midlands safari park - Paid £11.50 per person x4 and child of 7 years £10.50.
£4.00 for a programme.£3.00 for animal food.

Was told on several occassions not to feed certain animals as holding up the cars.

Had to queue for an hour and a half to get round animals-and even did a short cut because got bored-half the animals were sleeping and plenty of empty places with nothing to see for miles.
Should have a lane for people who want to take loads of pictures because y ...

Visited WMSP with my two children aged 7 and 9 and they LOVED it, the wristband was a great help and they certainly got their monies worth! there wasnt a ride that they were unable to go on. Went around the safari trail twice, when we arrived at the park (at approx 10.30am)we could see that the safari trail was very busy so parked the car and headed for the rides first, "NO" queing at all!!! they went on all the rides twice, we then had a picnic near our car and went around the safari trail (at ...

I cannot rate this West Midlands Wildlife safari park highly enough. To be able to get within feet of wild animals including Lions and wild dogs is fantastic. For photographers this is an absolute dream location.
A leisurely drive through the park will take about an hour then you can get something to eat / comfort stop and go through again for no extra charge and even more times if you so desired.
An extra bonus is a steam train also runs the track at the back of the park and a lucky photographe ...

Nice big areas for most of the animals. West Midlands Safari Park is a nice place to visit if you are looking for a cheap day out with some pretty animals. Feeding the animals is good. The queues are very long on weekends and dire on bank holidays, this is only because the public area allowed to feed animals which slows the whole process down.

Plenty to do and see. Weather was good so great for picnics as food rather expensive. We had a good day, and no trouble going through the lions, tigers, cheetahs etc, which were wonderful to see and did not feel nervous at all, but feel these wild dogs should have been made more secure. They were very scary for our two grandchildren who were with us.

Probably one of the best overall attractions to visit, very reasonably priced, very good safari tour with well cared for animals, friendly staff, good clean toilet facilities, very good funfair rides for all ages again very reasonably priced. Nice selection of food available, basically it's one of the very few places we have ever visited that what you see is exactly what you get no hidden extras or rip off when you get there, shame other attractions don't follow the example set by West Midlands ...

It was going to be either Longleat or West Midlands Safari Park. And I am glad we came here, the kids loved the animals and feeding them. The camels were great to feed and touch. The sea lion show was great as well, kids thought it was great and loved standing by the glass when they swam passed. The goats were brilliant, the fact that you could walk round with them. My only moan is the ride price for the bands - it's the same price for everyone from babies to adults. But I did like the fact you ...

£10.50 entry we had a car of 2 adults 3 children totalling £52.50 then to go on the rides £9.70 per wrist band beware if your kids are under 1m they may not be able to go on some rides. Thus the wristband was worthless rides that my 9 year old can go on in other attractions such as Blackpool and Twinlakes he couldn't go on here because he was to tall! He is not a big 9, you would expect that a wrist band would allow you on all rides, but their ride grading system is all wrong ...

A nice place to go is West Midlands Safari Park, it is about 75 miles from were we live but worth the journey. A little upset at the price £8.99 for all and £8.75 to go on rides which have height restrictions on rides so smaller children cant go on everything.
Lovely safari and hippos, goats etc, well worth a visit included in the £8.99 admission is a free return visit so not too bad really.

My son of one and daughter of three loved it at the West Midlands safari park! The animals were fantastic! They have kennels for the dogs too. Lots of attractions and places to eat after the safari park drive! Lots of different animals which don't attack the car, unlike the monkeys at Longleat. Better than Longleat!!

We had a fantastic day out! There was lots to do and lots to see! What more do you want? It is also great value for money too. We travel there from South Wales, and we have visit ...

We went to West Midlands Safari park a few months a go (in the Summer).

Upon arrival I was very impressed with the amount of car parking available and the close proximity to the facilities.

We decided to drive round the safari area first. Looking at the map I was impressed with the range of animals on display but when driving round I became a bit disappointed with the amount of animals actually on display. I appreciate that different animals sleep at different times of the day but some p ...

I went to West Midlands Safari Park with my cousin, friend and my sister, ages range from 16-22! we really enjoyed ourselves as always, the animals look happy and healthy but sometimes you do see signs of stress when there are noisy people about, but if you spot a keeper and report this they sort out the culprits straight away, as they keepers understand without healthy happy animals they will not have a buisness. The white animals are fascinating but they are a mutation and not a seperate spec ...

We had a lovely day at West Midlands Safari Park. Two families with 2 children each, aged 7 & 8. There is a safari, small zoo type area (which also has talks and demonstrations) and a small theme park(geared for children rather than adults).We opted to go on the parks safari bus, which although it cost more was well worth it, as you came off the road and got really close to the animals. Lovely happy staff, all around the park. We enjoyed all of the attractions, but our children enjoyed the theme ...

The animals at West Midlands Safari Park looked healthy and happy, there were lots of baby animals. The safari part of the park was well organised. The packs of food at £2 seemed expensive but feeding the less dangerous animals was a real hoot. The theme park pat was of little interest to us as we have a 1 year old child but it was not included in admission which suited us. There is a 'zoo' type area where the smaller animals are housed - all the animals looked happy and well cared for ...

West Midland Safari Park has the potential to be a good zoo and safari park and a centre for conservation, but sadly it fails on all points. Despite the ample space available in the safari park, the enclosures were mostly very barren and in the case of the ostriches and emus overcrowded. The park seems to specialise in the breeding of white animals with no conservation value in order to draw customers. To top it off the sign relating to two white tiger cubs were misleading in that it stated that ...
