What a wonderful, tranquil, hidden gem! Not somewhere that I would have thought of visiting but a friend recommended. Really pleased to visit. for the kids as well, to see, good pathways, small play park. You can buy bags of corn (£1) to to the birds; some eat and some don’t but I guess that depends if they are hungry or not. of benches to sit on on the way around if you have limited mobility and need to rest. is nice, but I’d say on the more expensive end of the scale. You pay once for entry and then you get a ticket that is valid for unlimited re-visits for 12mths. For me a downside was that there were of enclosures and bird areas that didn’t have any signage as to what the were which was disappointing. Centre seems to be self sufficient in water from a spring and electric from the solar panels. Nice Had a fantastic day out real value for money 10 pound adult ticket does you all fantastic only half an hr drive from Edinburgh No faults with t place very friendly and helpful staff 👍 Well wurth a visit Reason for 4 stars in t place, ie entrance food waste and hard core piled up at gate!!! and loose wood lying on foot path just being honest 🙄 More waste bins around park . find. Small but well laid out enclosures and freely walking (and some chillaxing Wallabies) with of interesting personalities!. looked good, albeit we had already made other lunch arrangement nearby.

When you go outside to the you can go with a buggy at any times as there is a sort of a pavement on the ground. A really and authentic place for all ages. The are also to watch- quite a variety. We were completely blown away at our experience at Bird Gardens!! The grounds was kept extremely neat and tidy which is no easy task as a home for free roaming birds. Plenty of larger species like emus and flamingos, some surprise wallabies, and my favourite were the free roaming geese and ducks which you can buy to hand feed. Not to mention the food was genuinely one of the best meal I've had. From the fresh scones to home made soups we would happily go back just for the food!! Above all the organisation is not for profit, promotes sustainability and conservation of animals which is an amazing cause to support. Absolutely it here, my two aged 4 and 2 were entertained all day! to see and do for them. the indoor reptile handling too. Thank you so much for a lovely day.
