Wonderful Experience
Half an hour of meerkats climbing and sitting on you whilst you feed them was wonderful. The staff were very knowledgeable about the life of meerkats. It was also nice to see many different species of birds of prey with a nice flying display.

Brilliant day meeting the Meerkats
Thoroughly enjoyed my day at Millets meeting & feeding the Meerkats. We also watched a 30 minute flying display at the Falconry Centre. There was plenty to do & see as there is a Farm Shop, Restaurant & Garden Centre on site.

Friendly and fun experience
Firstly the whole site is great. we didn't know where we were going but didn't expect the lovely garden centre, farm shop, animal walk, large play/picnic area, pick-your-own.. etc. The falconry centre was very friendly, shows were really good and the meetkat experience was special. We didn't feel rushed, the meerkats were free to run around over us and the keeper was chatty and friendly - would definitely recommend

Brilliant experience
Had a lovely time, spent half an hour feeding them. They are lovely and so cute. Was a little extra Christmas pressie for the misses, but think was one of the best ones I got her.

Lovely experience
Really enjoyed the experience having the meerkats feed off your lap and being able to stroke them. Also the keeper was very informative and easy to talk to answering any questions that you had about the meerkats. Wish we had a little more time with them as the time went really fast
