A mixed bag. The drive round is hit and miss, as with any zoo/ animal attraction. Animals are their own boss and you can't predict when or if they will make an appearance which means you aren't guaranteed to see them. Not feeding the animals anymore is the right decision for the park but also means animals are less likely to come up to you. We paid extra for the safari tour so we did get to go closer than If we were in a car and had the knowledge of Tim telling us all about the different animals. Road has alot of pot holes so please be wary of that! The actual park is a bit dated now but the rides are still fun for the youger ones. The ice age walk and dinosaurs could do with a bit of TLC due to wear tear and weather damage. Hopefully the money they get from the lodges (approximately 500 for 2 adults per night)will be out back into the animals and actual attractions. All the staff were lovely, friendly helpful and knowledgeable. Take your own packed lunch. Food is expensive and overpriced. For the sake of 45 minutes I'd drive the extra and go to Dudley zoo personally.

We had an absolutely brilliant time at West Midlands Safari Park! I went with my family and from start to finish it was a perfect day. The safari drive-through was amazing — we got so close to the animals, and they all looked really healthy and well cared for. The lions, giraffes and rhinos were the highlights for us, and the staff along the route were friendly, helpful and clearly passionate about what they do. After the safari, we spent the afternoon in the theme park and it was just as good. There was something for everyone — fun rides for the kids, a few thrill rides for the grown-ups, and plenty of places to stop and relax in between. The whole site was clean, well organised and full of energy, and we never felt rushed or crowded. It’s clear that a lot of care goes into both the animals and the visitor experience. My family left with huge smiles and lots of great memories — we’re already planning our next visit! If you’re looking for a full day out that combines adventure, learning and fun for all ages, I can’t recommend West Midlands Safari Park highly enough. A solid 10 out of 10!

Get to see the animal in their own environment and you are inside your car . The entrance to lion, hyena, tiger, are all controlled thru electrified gates and reminded of Jurassic park !! The giraffe can be fed. Cottages are there for weekend stays and relax in a serene atmosphere. One feels very near to nature and animals . Kids will enjoy the Jurassic times , ice age, reptiles. stalls for food , snacks, coffee, gift items are there. A must visit place either children

I went with my family, my parents and my partner so as 4 adults. It was really great, I have always heard of such good things about this safari park and have been excited to visit for a long time, and it was really impressive and lived up to expectations. I have visited both Knowsley and Longleat before, and they were both impressive in their own right. What West Midlands Safari Park did best that made them different, was the lack of queues, the way the routes in the enclosures we laid out so you could get really close to the animals whilst the animals remained safe, some of their enclosures were huge and i absolutely loved just how much the park had to offer with all of these extra events, shows, talks and the walking part - we didn’t quite realise just how much the park would have to explore and adventure and we wish we had arrived earlier to truly experience it all. The staff were amazing, at every point they were kind, informative, friendly and helpful, a few initiated some small talk which really showed they cared, that they were passionate about the animals and their work, it made my day and really cheered me up just how nice everyone was. I will definitely be visiting again, considering just how much there is to enjoy the price is worth it. I really loved just how up close and personal we could get with the animals and my only complaint would be I wish there were more signage, it was confusing where we needed to go at certain points and we nearly missed the tigers during the drive thru and would’ve been great if they had their own dedicated space without having to look through bars or the plastic viewing points, and we sadly didn’t get to see the cheetah however I’m aware they are very shy animals so I can’t blame them! The animals we did get to see were amazing, I loved feeding the giraffes, I loved the sea lion show and how passionate the staff were, I loved seeing both the tiger on the drive thru feeding and the lions on the walk ripping at bones. I feel like we were very lucky with everything we got to see, and I love that there’s Dholes, I have never seen a Dhole in person before and I don’t know any other parks that have them, I found them the most exciting part of my trip just because I’ve always wanted to see a Dhole and I didn’t realise they were here :) I would love more merchandise specifically tailored and made for the park! Such as artwork, and anything to do with the Dholes c: I loved all the recycled plushies however and we got one of each thing that had been branded by West Midlands Safari park, we like to get souvenirs as memories specifically tailored to each park we have visited, and it’s our way of supporting the park.

All you could spect from a salary park that takes cares of animals and also visitors. Well organised, cleaned and very friendly staff. Animals look healthy and well take care ok. There are some rare species like white lions and large anacondas. Particularly amazed by the bats room where the animals fly arround. Food was also good in the Dyno Diner.

Great zoo. Ample space for the animals who roam a large area looking very happy. This location has a drive through safari as well as a walk through part, similar to a normal zoo. Lovely variety of animals often very close to the road. Food options are available in the zoo. Great sea lion show. Amazing theming. A large proportion of the zoo is also a theme park with lots of rides. Lots of huts you can stay in near the drive through safari. Good zoo with large paddocks.

We were totally thrilled with everything, the lodge was charming with huge windows that the tigers came right up to….. one looking deep into my eyes! I was excited for 48 hours. The meals were excellent too . I would recommend it to anyone who loves tigers as I do. I’ve waited 75 years to get so close,and Naresh gave me an enormous thrill.

This is an amazing park, a mix of open space, mature trees, play park, splash pad in warmer months, tennis courts, skate/sport scooter park and basketball hoops. Entertainment put on by bands and music troupes in the summer, Car park and plenty of space for dog walkers a real credit to Kidderminster

Lovely little park with historic monument, also a nice children's play area and lots of squirrels Scate park, Tennis courts,football pitch,band stand ect. And building a cafe and lake at the moment should be completed by summer 2026

Beautiful landscape, and very good playground, challenging game facilities that suit for 9+. Access by road near the canal river. You can take the route from the town and walk alone the canal to here, which is very easy.wear boots as have mud.

Summer fair 04.05.2024 Great day out with my lad has a splash area and a nice playing park lovely weather too

Nice park and clean spot for picnic. Green gardens and good for walk

Large open space with lots of designated areas for sports and recreation. Some woodland areas and a small car park. Plenty of space to have a picnic or walk the dog.

Really impressed.. my daughter wanted to go to a waterpark for the last day of the school holiday. We usually go to Mary Stevens Park but wanted to try somewhere different. Gutted that I have only just found this place. My girls had a great time at the park, so much for all of them. Then the waterpark was incredible, they absolutely loved it. I can imagine it gets very busy but we luckily went on a quiet day (think some schools were back and it was also rainy). We only did the park and waterpark so unsure what else is actually there but we will be returning which we can't wait for.

A lovely time spent at The Watermill incorporated with our excursion to the Safari and Theme Park! Perfectly located with our stay at The Travelodge which was directly opposite! They say a place is considered great when it has good hospitality, and we can without a doubt say we had outstanding hosting, namely Sam and Lexi who demonstrated levels of impartial hospitality any employer of any establishment would desire, especially with them unknowingly having in their presence silver award winner Gideon Nash Director of Nature Care representing St Vincent and The Grenadines from the Chelsea Flower Show 2025! Top marks all the way for Sam and Lexi for making our trip more than pleasurable! We definitely recommend The Watermill to anyone visiting the area! 10 out of 10!!!!

A leisurely lunch by the canal. Table booked in advance. The QR ordering method can make it simple but doesn't allow for any 'swaps' of veg. Bar ordering works fine! Extensive menu. The food could have been hotter! Plenty of tables and space made for a very untroubled atmosphere.

It has been a long time since I last visited here and today there was a real improvement because as soon as we entered the pub for lunch we received a warm welcome from Amy and she also served us our food and checked everything was ok, really enjoyed our lunch, good portion sizes, I had hunters chicken with sweet potato fries, my friend enjoyed his chicken and mushroom pie. Amy shows excellent customer service which makes all the difference, thank you Amy. We then paid our bill and met the lovely manager Jan who was very kind and friendly and very we also had the discount off mains which is a great offer. Thank you Jan and Amy for the excellent customer service today and your warm welcome.

Nice service, atmospheric place, good food, an additional big plus for pet-friendly - now I can visit this place with my pets

Came here for a bit to eat . Food was good but the Hunters Chicken was a little dry. Spoke to Lexi and she replaced the meal and it was great . Very friendly staff and atmosphere. Also great little park out the back with views of the canal. Lovely place and highly recommend

What a gr8 place to visit. Professional staff...excellent food...gr8 beers...what more could you ask for? Loved our visit.

Nice location by the canal, although traffic over the road bridge was noticeable if sitting outside. Good English breakfast with alternatives including vegan and vegetarian, but note that the breakfast menu is not published on line

It is a shame that when forced to explain that you have a chronic condition and there is an immediate need to use the toilets, the three members of staff relied on one to repeat 'for customers only', when there are just two teenage girls sat in the place. Disgusting attitude from the staff.

Ordered on just eat to wait over an hour to receive no food and have the order confirmed as delivered. To then be ignored when I try to phone the store as they wouldn't pick up the phone. Useless.

Love Subway and this place is no different. Good service and the owner takes pride in his store

Always lovely staff and they provide the perfect amount of cheese 🧀

I recently visited Subway and it was a great experience. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the restaurant was clean and well-maintained. The menu had a good selection of sandwich options and I appreciated the ability to customize my order with various toppings and sauces. The sandwich I ordered was delicious and fresh. The bread was soft and had a nice texture, and the meats and vegetables were all of good quality. The service was quick and efficient, and my sandwich was made to order just the way I wanted it. Overall, I had a very positive experience at Subway and would definitely visit again in the future. I appreciate the convenience and affordability of their menu, and the quality of their food and service exceeded my expectations.

One of the best go to place, perfectly made subways and always welcoming. 10/10

Car crash sub and someone stole my lettuce! Where is the love guys? Last weeks was 5*

Gainsborough House Hotel were extremely accommodating last minute with our wedding guests. Danny and his team were incredibly helpful and supportive in giving us a quote for our guests. As well as providing us with competitive prices for all our guests, they created a range of rooms ranging from single occupancy to family rooms and triples. The rooms were clean and tidy but could have done with a little modernisation. The breakfast was of a good standard with a nice selection of hot food and plenty of cups of tea and coffee. The staff also looked after lost property after the event when one of our guests forgot something. Thank you for everything Gainsborough!

We go to the Gainsborough Hotel on a Thursday evening for Slimming World. Our room is light, airy and spacious. Very clean and comfortable. We pass the dining room en route to our room and the food smells amazing 😋. We have plans to have a meal once restrictions are lifted. There is loads of parking and the place is beautiful to look at. We really like it there 😊

The room standards are impeccable with fantastic facilities including, iron and hair dryer. The staff are friendly and welcoming from the front of house to the cleaning staff. However, the food quality was awful, very undercooked and not worth the money. The restaurant had a café feeling with no atmosphere or ambiance. The restaurant staff began to clear up and set up ready for breakfast around us whilst we ate which made us feel very uncomfortable. They were apologetic when we complained about the food however and offered us a free drink. I feel this would be an amazing hotel if the restaurant was worked on as this let the hotel standards slip from 5* to 3*

Looks a little tired on the outside, but is actually very good inside. Nicely decorated, clean and tidy. Reception was friendly and helpful. The room was a reasonable size with plenty of space for clothes. Also handy were the ironing facilities and hair dryer along with facility for hot refreshments Good sized bath, but toilet space a bit cramped. Very clean and tidy with a large comfy bed. The breakfast was good value and very similar to other English hotels of this standard. One complaint, WiFi in the room was only accessible in the bathroom area and near the room door. Almost impossible to get a signal in any other part of the room. Even so, would still be happy to recommend this hotel for a short break.

Overall it was a pleasant stay ! Check in was very fast and the receptionist was friendly and helpful with eatery recommendations! Room was clean and decent sized even with a nice view ! The only thing is that the kettle gets super hot and I burned my arm a little ! It’s a health and safety issue! Please replace the kettle ! Thank you .

We had a lovely stay at this hotel, lovely nice warm room's, just what you need after coming back from a day out in the cold in this weather. Comfortable night sleep, and the breakfast is amazing. Staff are brilliant and always happy to help, atmosphere is very relaxed and hotel is clean. Never have been disaponted and will continue to keep coming to this hotel. Well done team Gainsborough house.

What a fabulous day for my brothers wedding. Everything was great from the planning, communication, rooms, venue, food and service from all staff including Tim, Danny and Jeff.. and all the bar and restaurant staff, nothing too much trouble! The wedding was fantastic and the room looked amazing you did a great job. Thank you for everything.
