My 9 year old son and I really enjoyed our visit to Willowbank and the Lemur Encounter. It was raining all day be we still saw heaps of animals. My son loved feeding all the different animals and feeding the eels was a real buzz. The staff were super friendly and informative and the cafe was clean, fresh and had great prices.
We love it here and our little girl loves the horses
Reached at 3:40 and they let me in 45 mins early. Saw Kiwi so upclose. It was a very well managed and beautiful reserve ! I would High recommend it !
