Screech Owl Sanctuary & Animal Park

Truro, United Kingdom Zoo

One of the Top rateds in Indian Queens Top-rated.online cuts through the clutter, highlighting only the reviews that are most helpful, earn the most likes, or come from the most active contributors. Small sized attraction designed to highlight the plight of endangered birds. Has a barn that they use to show Owls and give talks. You walk around other enclosures to view Bird and can feed goats. It has a reasonably priced Cafe. You can happily spend 3 hours there. Fantastic place to visit, the Owl flights are great, getting up close and personal with these wonderful birds. Plenty of other animals there to see too, including wallabies and raccoons! We had a leaflet in the accommodation where we were staying, got there in the morning and ended up spending the whole day there, they have flight displays and lots of interesting talks throughout the day, the staff were really knowledgeable and you could tell the spent a lot of time with the animals, the lady running the displays was amazing as well as Amelia who conducted the talks about the other animals there. The café was clean and staff were polite and friendly, prices were reasonable and the food and coffee were delicious. The whole site was kept very clean especially the glass to some of the enclosures, there is also a kids park and a gift shop. We al had a great day, and we will be returning next year. Loved it we went here on the way home so arrived about 13:30. Just in time for the bird show and it was amazing such lovely owls and a interesting talk to go with it and the second show we saw just the same and showed the owls doing natural behaviour, they also allow you to hold the owl for a short amount of time to ensure the owl doesn't just imprint on one person, but they are not forced to and they are able to read their birds well to know when they have reached their limit. All the owls we saw looked relaxed and well cared for and there is information about them. The meerkat looked very happy foraging away, I didn't see the racoon he was sleeping but the enclosure looked a lot of fun. We had a cream tea and a savoury scone and oh my goodness the chocolate cake was amazing my son ate it so fast I didn't get a picture but it was amazing. Playpark kept him occupied and we saw the emus. And walked through the goats we didnget any feed but the family infront were feeding them and the goats were very happy to come up and have a feed. Storks, I had no idea they haven't been in Cornwall for 600 so they are part of a programme to reintroduce them. We will come back next year. Just remember the birds are not their for entertainment so if you can't see one let it be because you don't want to be stared at all day. A lovely greeting on arrival. The flying owl and talks were fantastic and the staff were extremely knowledgeable and helpful. The food in the tea room was delicious and not badly priced. A wonderful day out. We found it a relaxing and pleasant visit. 😊 Fantastic animal experiences, 2nd time we have visited. It not a very big place but the animals are very well looked after and the staff are friendly and knowledgeable. Food in the cafe is lovely. Highly recommend doing one of the animal experiences. We did the owl experience and loved it. Such a great little place! The keepers were very knowledgeable and friendly, we've enjoyed all the talks very much. It was amazing to see the owls fly and sit on the benches next to us and we've even got lucky to hold one. We've also enjoyed feeding the goats. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone who likes birds. As we don't drive, getting there was not the easiest, but it was definitely worth the effort. We visited the sanctuary this week as a family of three with an 18 month old. It was a fantastic day out with enthusiastic and informative staff/ keepers. We highly recommend attending and taking part in all of the events that they run throughout the day. We will definitely be coming back! Cafe - 5* - simple, tasty treats, clean, comfy. Toilets - 4* (very clean). Staff - 5*. Animals - 5*. Activities - 5*. Accessibility (pushchair) - 4.5* even after rain. Well worth the £15 entry fee (discount found on the webpage). Highly recommend feeding the goats - they are comical.
