The best kitchen garden, they use companion planting and serve the veg in the cafe, delicious! The house is splendid but the volunteers made all the difference! They were so caring, knowledge and the pianist played wonderfully!

Beautiful house & lots of rooms to view. Lovely grounds to sit in as we had a nice sunny day. The volunteering staff were fantastic & there were plenty around to answer any questions & they were very knowledgeable. There is a cafe serving drinks & food & the coffee was very nice & there were plenty of tables & seats. I always take my own food being intolerant to gluten & dairy so I cannot comment on the menu although there was a notice at the till saying "please let the staff know if you have any allergens". Highly recommended & we really enjoyed our visit.

Tyntesfield, a striking Victorian Gothic Revival house near Bristol, offers not only a glimpse into the grandeur of 19th-century family life but also a captivating escape into nature. Beyond its turrets and ornate interiors, the estate boasts sweeping parkland and carefully designed gardens that lend themselves perfectly to a two-hour walk. Visitors can meander through rose-scented terraces, wander the arboretum with its collection of exotic trees, and follow shaded paths that reveal ornamental lakes and hidden viewpoints over the rolling Somerset hills. The route takes in both formal landscaping and wilder woodland, blending history with horticultural beauty, and leaving walkers with a sense of both discovery and tranquillity.

Beautiful National Trust property.There are a lot of lovely rooms to explore.The Chapel is Beautiful. You can take a lovely walk down to the walled garden and green house.The is a play area here for children and very small cafe to get dri ks and snacks.Up at the sister centre there is a much larger cafe serving lunches etc.In the court yard there's tea wagon and a ice cream van

Nice big estate to explore. Good second hand book shop. House is beautifully cared for with a fantastic collection. Could do with more info on the family but are very helpful staff around. Toilets around site as well as cafes, play areas. Big car park.

Beautiful property and lovely gardens. Worth the hype, though it has been given 'the NT Treatment' in that the rooms are not 'exactly' as they were when the NT took it over which was sort of what I was expecting. But don't let that put you off. Plenty for the kids to do in the grounds. Little in the house to interest kids.

A nice house with Gardens. Not far off M5 Motorway it offers walks around Gardens and visit to house. Plenty of parking space and was quite full when we went Bank Holiday Weekend. Bit parched in places due to heatwave but still nice. Some walking needed but transport provided from carpark to house if bit frail. Has couple of cafe's and gift shops. Usual trust prices in shop. I.e pricy. £20 adult entry fee for Gardens and 2 floors of house.

Absolutely amazing!! Would recommend time after time. One of the best zoos I have been too. Normally in zoos you get the feeling that the animals don't have much room, or place to roam and genuinely feel sorry for them but here you have such a feeling of happiness for them, they have so much room to walk around, enrichment to play with and look so happy and healthy! Not only that, the talks and experiences they have whilst there are so lovely, they tell you so much about each animal, show you their way of feeding them, and get to know each animal on a personal level. The play centre for children is lovely too, really inclusive of all ages. The cafe their was amazing! Yes prices are a little more than your average cafe prices but I think its so so worth it. The food was absolutely perfect and is the quality you would find in an upmarket place. Definitely go!

Excellent zoo, first time visiting. We stopped here on the way down to our holiday to Cornwall, to break up a 6.5 hour journey. They have a good selection of animals that look very healthy and have plenty of outdoor space. We managed to see all the animals quite easily (unlike some other well known zoos). A big shout out to Eric who was doing tractor rides for the visitors, my little boy loved it. They had plenty of indoor play areas and big slides that the kids loved. The zoo looks to be slowly growing and have a Tiger enclosure planned very soon. We would definitely visit again in future.

We visited on a weekday so it wasn't super busy, but there was still a fair amount of people. The staff were very pleasant and very knowledgeable. We watched a bird of prey talk and it was really interesting - the birds are clearly well looked after and trained to a very high standard. The maze is a great touch! I love that it has questions to help you through - maybe you might learn some stuff at the same time. Overall, a very good time. There are many play areas for kids, animal feed available, a good mix of animals (I love that as soon as I went to take a photo of the bear, he hid behind a post and then poked his head out) Also there was an epidemic of members losing their membership cards while we were there! I also really love that they have a history wall with highlights dating all the way back to 1999.

We had the best day out at Noah’s Ark Zoo Farm! It was a family visit with my 3 year old and 8 year old, and it was such a wonderful experience from start to finish. There are so many animals to see, and my kids were especially fascinated by the elephants - such a rare and special treat in the UK. The monkeys put on a great show for us too!!!Every part of the zoo felt like it deserved its own highlight. The range of activities is amazing: - Fantastic playgrounds for both little and big kids. - A huge maze that kept us all entertained. - And plenty of space to explore and run around. There were lot of seating areas, picnic spots, ice-cream shops and a food area as well. It’s very thoughtfully laid out and very family-friendly. Ample parking spaces - no stress in finding one! An absolutely brilliant day out. We will definitely be coming back!

This is a fantastic place to visit it has lots of different options apart from the brilliant Zoo ,including a food outlets and several different play themed activities for children,including soft play,parks,trampolines. The zoo side the animals have some of the best enclosure I have seen in a zoo,with lots of outdoor areas for them to roam they seem very content. It’s also has several places for a quick pit stop to get refreshments also several toilets . The only thing I wasn’t happy about was the soft play structure it looks like a converted barn it’s brilliant inside with well planned and built amenities but my concern is the roof,it’s asbestos corrugated sheeting (I noticed the animals indoor building has corrugated metal sheeting ) I can’t understand why asbestos has been used. Whilst its use can pose a risk if in any way it breaks down,all materials eventually deteriorates,whilst a small risk ,I really can’t understand its use especially in a children’s environment.

A really great place to visit if you are an animal lover. The farm has a great variety of animals, with more coming soon according to the site. They have different animals, from lions to elephants and a expansive site to walk around. We also had food from here, we ordered 2 pork burritos. They were around £12.50 each which is a little expensive and to be honest, they werent that impressive for taste and we actually left a bit of our food. It was quite bland and the pork was not the best we tasted. The only part that had the best taste was the sauce, which was quite tangy. We know not to order this next time. Even the toasties were around £8 each. Besides the food, the staff were friendly and helpful and we had a great time. We even went on the tractor ride for £2 each and that was a nice little ride. Another disappointing part was the fact that the bird walk enclosure was closed due to guidelines on avian flu, which is not the parks fault, but did take away from the experience slightly. We also found out they run experiences and encounters which for some people will be great, but they do seem very pricey. We saw 2 people in the zoo participating in the Capybara encounter. Which you can talk to a member of staff about the animal and feed them. Unsure of how long it lasts for as website lacks that information and we did not ask at the time, but it costs £50 per person, which is pretty steep when you factor in what you get for it and the cost to enter the zoo. The animal experiences however seem more vast, but do cost considerably more, but for how much more you may be able to do in them, it may be worth it to some people. The giraffe experience for example is £190 for 2 people, which is pretty pricey. All in all it was a great day. Got to feed the animals, got to pet some of the smaller animals they had during the meet and greet and got to explore the zoo. This was our second time here. Would definitely recommend and will return again.

Great day out despite wet weather. We arrived just after 11 and in time for the meerkat feeding which my 1 year old loved. It was a bit of a shame my little one couldn’t go in the soft play due to maintenance but overall seeing the animals made up for it. Great mixture of farm animals eg. goats, highland cows, llama and alpacas and domesticated pets like rabbits, guinea pigs, gerbils and rats. Wild animals including birds, white rhinos, elephants and lions etc (just naming a few 😜). There was plenty of benches and a covered picnic area, we brought our own food as thought food online looked a bit pricey. It was very quiet so great for my toddler to see all the animals. The only things I would mention are the food kiosks are unmanned around the park but the food barn and ice cream parlour next door are open, the milkshakes aren’t worth the £5 as it was very small and didn’t taste overly nice. I will also mention that one of the bears kept turning and shaking its head so I don’t know if it was stressed or what. Oh and the bird display was amazing! Overall lovely family day out!

Walked right around the whole path and didn't see any sculptures... Still quite a nice walk though, and came across a few friendly goats

Lovely walk I did with my 4 year old. Easy to park by the fishing pond and there's a lovely cafe next to it for a well deserved treat at the end. We loved looking for all the sculptures and marveled at how beautiful they were. I read on the website of the trail that this was all made by Ty's dad who created this trail as a way to honour his son's memory after he died of leukemia as a young adult. He loved exploring these woods as a child and reading this ahead made me grateful we get to do this and create precious memories with my tiny girl.

Such a lovely place a short drive from Bristol, great place to roam about and have have fun found a couple of sculptures but the big hit were the dens and rope swings! Easy to park nice pastries I n the farm shop. All round good day out for the kids

Absolutely beautiful! The story behind this sculpture trail is lovely, but heartbreaking. Just north of Nailsea, you can park at Jacklands Fishing Lakes and grab a trail map from their farm shop. The trail gets v muddy in places and there's a bit of a climb to get to it - the trail itself is pretty hilly, too. Lots to stay entertained by: the sculptures, a rope swing, a stream, dens hidden in the woods and more. Definitely recommended.

A beautiful woods near Bristol with beautiful small sculptures dotted around that make a great addition for children. The bubbling swamp is worth the short detour. The walk is about an hour, starting and finishing at jacklands fishing lake, that has a nice cafe shop with good coffee and cake. Steep in places and uneven underfoot for most of the trail so appropriate footwear recommended.

Lovely visit would highly recommend, bit muddy but don't let that stop you. Pop your wellies on, grab a map and a coffee from the café at the fishing lakes then off you go!

Lovely little place would be good for kids, doesn't take long to get around but still enjoyed it and wildlife, only few people walking around shame cafe wasn't open and nowhere to park and closed.
