点评:As a family we spent a few hours at Millets Wildside having booked the 'Owl Experience'. The weather was great, which helps, and the site was tidy, clean, and well laid out with a mostly birds of prey with a few other mammals and invertabrates.
The experience was with Abi, the falconer, and we were made aware of all health and safety to keep us, and more importatly the owls, safe beforehand. Speaking to Abi she definately enjoys sharing her knowledge and we were treated to handling various sizes of owls and having them fly between us. The whole experiance lasted about an 3/4 of an hour and we never felt rushed. Thanks Abi!
While we were there we saw other groups that were having a similar one-on-one experiance and the same care and attention was to be given to them; we saw a groop stroking and feeding meercats.
The wider area has farm type animals to walk around with nice wide paths for easy access, a cafe with farm shop, and a large garden centre with restaurant.

体验由驯鹰师艾比(Abi)带领。事先,我们了解了所有健康和安全事项,以确保我们以及更重要的猫头鹰的安全。和艾比交谈时,她显然很乐意分享她的知识。我们有机会触摸各种大小的猫头鹰,并让它们在我们之间飞翔。整个体验持续了大约45分钟,我们一点也不觉得匆忙。谢谢艾比!
在我们体验期间,我们看到其他一些团体也在进行类似的猫头鹰一对一体验,他们也得到了同样的悉心照料;我们看到一群人在抚摸和喂食狐獴。
周边地区有农场动物可供游客漫步,宽阔的小路方便通行,还有一家带农产品商店的咖啡馆和一家带餐厅的大型花园中心。
