Waterfowl Sanctuary and Childrens Farm

Owner was really rude. The place is really run down and feels like an eccentric, old pet shop rather than a farm. They don’t take anything other than cash. After being summarily told off by the owner who very happily turned us away 30mins before closing because we hadn’t guessed this, I can’t recommend it and wouldn’t spend my money here. It’s a shame, as funding is desperately what it needs, but I suggest they amend their attitude and their policy to facilitate this. It’s not ground-breaking. I wouldn’t bother going.

I took my 2 year old today she had amazing time loved holding the baby animals the staff were so friendly will bring all my girls next time

I can't understand why there are people or I should write - trolls in here. If you would like to go to very popular place where there are queues everywhere - choose some other theme park/zoo. Waterfowl Sanctuary is a place where you can actually relax and come closer to nature. Perfect for nice afternoon. The entrace fee is very good for family budget. We have been to Waterfowl Sanctuary several times with our three children. They were over the moon to have a chance to cuddle little bunny and chicks. There is no rush, You could just sit back and enjoy as much as you like to. This is the place when my children discovered the sound donkey makes. :) We need to visit again soon. Like everywhere else in winter/spring time remember to put your wellies on as it can be quite muddy.

My young family and I have been to Wigginton Waterfowl Sanctuary countless times over the past decade, and taken friends and other family members with us. We have always enjoyed the day. This is not a theme park; I think the advertising shows it exactly as it is, a chance to get close to nature and enjoy the experience.

I came to this farm several times as a child about 20 years ago. It was a weekend and we've been looking for a petting 'farm/zoo' for our boy and I remembered this place and looked it up. Off we went on a Sunday and to my surprise it was as I remembered. In we went and straight away we were offered a baby bunny in a woollen holding blanket. It was very cute especially for the wife and little one. They have lots of animals to look at, cuddle and even buy.

I completely agree with the other review, this place is so run down, dirty and the animals look unwell. I'm not sure where they got the photos from but they're are not from the sanctuary.

I recently visited this place with my three children. Do. It be fooled by the websites photos or any leaflets you may see featuring this place. It was without a doubt the dirtiest, smelliest and most run down place I have ever visited. The staff are rude and not tolerant of children at all. Especially the old woman that works there. The animals looked unwell, the play area is a mass of broken old plastic baby toys. Not a chance would I ever return. Total and utter waste of money and to be honest they are lucky they haven't been done for false advertising
