Manor House Wildlife Park

Me and wife and my children visited today paid 51 quid to get in and to see not much ..look I know it has to pay for the upkeep but it has to be worth the money I had visited in the year it opened and thought we give it another go ..not good ..all that had changed was a new dome tent .which had no chairs to sit on and no fans to cool it down it was very hot ...

Sorry but 51 quid is a lot for me to spend gutted .I do hope it get through its hard time as it shows at the moment .....

Also bouncy castle which is unmanned and so many children on it at 1 time .....

Needs to be cheaper for what's there

Visited Manorpark on Friday, 19 April 2013 and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Very relaxing walking around and feeding the wallabies. Lovely to see the animals not caged and enjoyed the story of Steve and Lisa and now Bryn the baby.

Also not too commercialised which was nice.

Keep up the good work.

We'd seen the park on tv and love their ethos of having endangered species, and proper sized enclosures rather than zoos with a massive selection of animals in cramped spaces.

We visited with buggies, children, adults and pensioners and it was smiles all around - the babies best bit was meeting the sheep face to face, the kids loved the free tricycles to zoom around on, we all liked seeing what endangered status the different animals were at and learning thier facts and the adults loved that we could sit with a coffee at the end of the day and watch the kids playing - and how rewarding to hear all they'd learnt during the homeward journey. We were so enamoured with it we bought season tickets and the kids have already been back within a week!

If you love animals, and want to are them in wide open spaces then this is for you!

Manor House Wildlife Park is set in wonderful spacious grounds. Some enclosures you can get very up close and personal with the animals and my daughter loved feeding the wallabys. One of the keepers was feeding the meerkats when we arrived at their enclosure and what we don't know about meerkats now really isn't worth knowing. I think you have to remember this is a conservation park and your entrance fee contributes towards this work, as well as the vast costs that must be incurred by the feeding and general day to day care of these animals. Animals can't (and should not) be expected to be always out and be 'performing' - they have enough space and cover to be out of view sometimes. But I'm happier about this, it's balancing their welfare with human entertainment. It's not a commercial place and the core is only and simply to look at the animals. You can take a picnic but the restaurant offers wonderful food, much of it locally sourced. There is a children's play area, with a barn and hay bales to climb and jump off. Simple but the children love it. If you're looking for an unhurried, educational, healthy (there is 52 acres to stroll round) day out and also like to help conserve endangered animals then this is the place for you.

Sorry but where are the animals it is basically all fields with hardly any animals -- a waste of money

Complete rip-off, there are hardley any animals. The enclosure often refers to the wrong animals or animals that are invisible. We travelled all the way from Swansea to spend £20 to get in for about an hour, if that.

Really not worth the time or money!!!

after taking a winter break we thought it would be a good idea to visit the manor house wildlife park. it didn't live up to our expectations. we understood that it was winter but to pay 9.95 each when there was hardly any animals to be seen we belive that this was not worth the money. we wouldn't go again and we wouldn't recommend the park to any one else.

I just want to say thankyou for such a wonderful visit,what a beautiful place you have created ,my daughter and myself were so thrilled to see Steve and Lisa in the tree tops.I have just watched the first episode on ITV Wales tonight 15th November ,it was lovely to see how steve was tempted to come out.Thankyou again and good luck for the future of Manor House.

I love this place. We returned after 12 months and were very impressed with the improvements. Steve and Lisa came out to see us, which my 4 year old loved as she has been talking about Steve all year. Its well worth seeing every time we visit Pembrokeshire. We took a picnic as there is plenty of space. Staff very friendly and helpful everywhere clean and tidy. Cant wait to visit again next year.

We took our 4 children to Manor house, it cost us nearly £40 entry fee, we were expecting a full day out but had seen everything within an hour and a half.

the wallaby walkthrough was closed (which was understandable as an accident had happened days earlier)

There werent that many animals out, we just walked around and could see the dissapointment on the childrens faces.

the gibbons were lovely but were up high in the trees so the children didnt see much, the turtles were in doors so the children couldnt see them, the marmoissetes were nowhere to be seen and the lema walkthrough was a total waste of time as there were only 2 or 3 out and they were asleep, there were no rhinos just an empty space where they should be.

The shop was over priced and we were dissapointed that Anna Ryder-Richardson was nowhere to be seen, the t.v shows her greeting people and walking around but we didnt see her at all, which dissapointed the children further.

All in all it was a waste of money and a dissapointment to the children and it meant us taking our children somewhere else so they could have a full day out.
