Gentleshaw Wildlife Centre

Nice little local wildlife centre.
It’s connected to a garden centre with a cafe, which is a bonus.

Definitely worth the £5 per adult price.

Great little rescue centre, all the information plaques have details about the character and quirks of each animal as well as their backstory, it feels very personal. The volunteer staff are really friendly and well informed too, all at a very reasonable price, I'll be back again when I'm next in the area I think :)

Great place excellent value for money and very friendly informative staff. The bird flying display is a must my 3yr old daughter has had an absolute blast at the mischievous Nimbus not doing as he was told and how all the birds flew so close over out heads. Well done to all involved, we’ll be back soon!

Amazing wildlife centre, doing wonderful work to save and preserve many species. The bird of prey show is excellent too. Gate money goes to the charity and there’s a play area and mini train ride to keep the kids entertained as well. Highly recommend a visit.

Will go back again 😃 lovely day out. Go through the garden centre, past the little mini golf and then you'll see a mini train which is 2.00 per person with a little play area for the kiddies.. next to it is the wildlife 5.00 for adults. 4.00 for children free for toddler/babies xxx

Lovely little place and have been a few times now.

I had all my questions answered by the lovely staff and watched a hawk train for a short while. Enjoyable to walk around and learn about the history of each bird/creature but a lot of them have a sad back story. Will definitely return next year.

Haven't been here for years and I can say they have done quite a lot of work to the park and enclosures also alot more animals too see. They have a nice gift shop on site aswell as a park for all ages, they are currently extending the park so be nice to go back. Friendly staff and welcoming. Toilet facilities inside the shop. Ice cream/drinks hut and hand washing facilities. Lovely day out. Restaurant inside have Friendly and polite staff food nice and not badly priced plenty of drinks and food to choose from, either eat in or outside.

This animal sanctuary needs your support .. its only £5 to get in but your donation helps feed and heat the animals .. I love it here .. friendly staff, great cafe. Nice family day out.
