Great day
After waiting 18 months due to covid restrictions we finally had the meerkat experience, throughout Virgin have been in contact advising of extension’s to the voucher. Meeting the meerkats was just brilliant and the staff were knowledgeable and welcoming.

Meerkat experience
Allyssa the host keeper was full of amazing knowledgeable information about meerkats that we would of never known! It was my partner Martins birthday and he really enjoyed feeding them and them climbing on us for food. I was in heaven with their cuteness and friendliness towards us. Having the meal worms to feed them with definitely of course encouraged them towards us.I fully recommend this for meerkat lovers or just animal lovers that want to learn more about this beautiful mystical creature

Magnificent Meerkats
Great experience! You get to sit in the middle of the meerkat enclosure and the meerkats run around and climb on you and you feed them. They let you pet them as well. Really enjoyed the experience!

Fun day out!
Really entertaining day at Millets Falconry Centre where we saw two flying displays as well as time wandering round the enclosures. The staff are clearly passionate about their birds of prey and the talks were all lively and very much close encounters! Afterwards we went to the Meerkat experience which was fascinating seeing the animals so close up, sitting on our legs and even sitting on the man opposite's head. Recommended for all the family. Made me smile!

Brilliant
Excellent afternoon out. My daughter and her friend loved this and had the meerkats scrambling all over them. The accompanying adults were able to watch and listen to the extremely informative talk and included in the voucher was access to the rest of falconry centre, which was absolutely great. The bird shows were awesome and the talks fascinating (and funny). Thanks loads.

Fabulous experience
Such a wonderful experience to spend half hour with meerkats. They are delightful animals and would certainly recommend this to anyone. The meerkat keeper was highly knowledgeable about them and provided lots of interesting background information - both about the specific meerkat family we were with and about general meerkat knowledge. Loved it!

Meerkat magic
Really great meerkat experience at Millers Farm Falconry, Oxfordshire. The hosting Meerkat keeper was knowledgable, personable and really interesting. There were a limited number of us at the experience and social distancing was adhered to very well along with hand hygiene. We took it in turns to feed the Meerkats bug parts using a forcep ,where you could guarantee a sandy pawed Meerkat would scrabble onto your lap for the treat. They were happy to be stoked too. Duration was perfect .

Marvellous Meerkats
Went to meer the meerkats for my birthday (4 March). Had a wonderful time feeding the meerkat family (Tom, Ginger, Hermionie and Ron). Embarrassingly I cannot remember the name of the charming, amusing and knowledgeable lady who hosted the experience! Such a special experience to get up close with these fascinating little creatures. Would highly recommend.

Meet the Meerkats
The Meerkat experience was a Christmas present. It did not disappoint. It was so lovely to get up close and personal to the Meerkats and even better when they sat on our laps enjoying the experience as much as ourselves. Can definitely recommend.

So much fun!
Another great virgin experience, highly recommend this fun interactive 30 mins with the meerkats. They really are as cute as you imagine them to be. We fed them fruit and chicken with long tweezers so your hands are safe. They do jump over your legs and make a bit of sand mess on your trousers but it’s worth it. You can’t pick them up or cuddle them but you’re allowed to stroke them.

Brilliant close up experience
The keeper was well informed so you get good info about meercats in general as well as detail about this little family. The way of passing the food around meant equal time with the meercats for all attendees so you feel involved. Stroking a meercat whilst it huddled on your husband's lap is amazing. Also great to watch birds of prey flight exhibition.

Feed the meerkats
I got a feed the meerkat gift for mother’s day as I love meerkats. The day was lovely feeding the meerkats and them sitting on my lap my only complaint would be there are too many people feeding them at once so you only get to feed them a few times in your 30 mins available :( the experience was amazing bar that :)

Although the experience was meeting and feeding the Meerkats which was great fun, the falconry centre with its various birds and flying display was fascinating. The surrounding retail outlets were also worth a visit.

A great time and soooo cute
When we got there, we wasn't expecting such a big place! It's so much more that just a falconry centre. There was a farm shop, a park, a lot of animals, some of which you could touch, cafes etc. When you show the voucher, you get free unlimited entry for that day and they have so many different shows! The experience itself was amazing, you are in a small group of about 6 people and the Meerkats climb all over you and you each get a chance to feed them and pet them! I definitely suggest this! GO!

An amazing experience! Whilst my son and I are adults, the place itself would be wonderful as a day out for kids. But feeding the meerkats was all we expected and more! Plus there were many farm animals and birds of prey on display. A great day out!

Fantastic hands on experience!
I wasn’t expecting the meerkats to be so friendly! They continuously used me as a climbing post, and the staff were very friendly and incredibly knowledgeable. Although there’s only 4 meerkats the small group still allowed a very close encounter and is very much worth the money! Would definitely recommend.

Bought my girlfriend this for her birthday, she had never done anything like it before and now won't stop talking about how it was both the best present she's ever got, and the best day of her life! The zookeeper guy was super friendly and had lots of interesting information which he presenting in an entertaining manner. The meerkats were of course adorable and climbed all over us from the moment we sat down, very friendly. And lots of photo opportunities!

Purchased as a Christmas gift for my dearly dysfunctional mother... she went at the weekend and cannot stop giggling. All I have managed to get out of her (in between the giggles) was that this was the best present ever and it was hilarious. Can't wait to see her photos! Thank you x

Small but perfectly formed!!
Brilliant fun. The Meerkat enclosure is small and there are only four meerkats, but only six people are allowed in anyway. The keeper is very knowledgeable, and the meerkats fun and adorable. The "lookout" spent the entire session sitting on the back of my husband's neck. Milletts Farm and Falconry Centre has something for everyone (lots of things for children to do) as well as adults. My experience was a gift for my 70th Birthday!

I booked this on a whim, something a bit different, could be fun. It was a brilliant day, we had so much fun, the meerkats are amazing, the staff so nice and knowledgeable, the bird show was very much worth staying on for. We'll be doing it again and taking some more family. Absolutely loved it!
