Liked: We really enjoyed our stay here! The owners were incredibly kind and accommodating, and the park itself was lovely! Animals to see and interact with at the organised times, and a lovely shop and cafe on site. We imagined it would be an incredible place to visit with children as there is lots to keep them entertained. Thank you!

Liked: Fantastic weekend at Auchingarrich wildlife and adventure park. We all had a blast. Beautiful scenery, fantastic food and an incredible setting for families. We loved the after hours walks around the site seeing the animals especially great as its quieter for our sensory sensitive daughter. The staff couldn't be friendlier and were so welcoming. Everything about this place is perfection!! From the petting zoo, layout, food, staff, gift shop, dog friendly, campsite, firepits, playpark, indoor play barns. I really can't find a single negative! We are already planning our next trip and we have only been home an hour.

Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked: Great park/location for a short stay and a unique experience waking up to flamingos and lemur's saying hello. Camp site was okay and the options for extra although a tad pricey was great service as they bring it too you (Fire extras etc). I loved the addition of the play areas for kids lots of options and is great for a break up between animal watching for little kids.
Disliked: Overall it was a tad pricey for what it was - food was expensive at the restaurant, the extras for camping were expensive we paid for firelighters a firepit and wood and it came out at nearly £20 for about 2/3 hours of fuel. A Map would have been nice for the park in our welcome pack. A few other issues that were admittedly outwith the staffs control but I feel could have been "handled" better.... The camp site needs some ground rules because unfortunately people don't respect shared spaces. The toilet was overflowing by the morning and people had starting pooing/weeing on or around the lid and outside the toilet it was disgusting. So maybe a secondary toilet and make it male and female or some rules for how to use the toilet. I also felt the toilet itself was extremely basic and could be updated easily (wood around the toilet was stained from urine and uncomfortable at best to sit on especially for females), holes through the shack people could see through and totally bug/midges infected which is fine for adults but I heard more than one child freaking out. I almost felt like the toilet was a false sense of security and would be better if we had none or brought our own solutions. We used the toilet once and then never again. Noise/alcohol issues - it was extremely disappointing considering the sheer number of familys around to see people smoking, drinking and one family/tent decided to play club music on a speaker at full volume for approx 8 hours straight until 12am. Then they proceeded to shout laugh and talk after that for another couple hours. I understand this isn't the parks fault or responsibility but I feel more rules or reminders could be placed for no alcohol or smoking and no loud music etc. Me nor my family got a very good sleep and I felt like my experience was marred by inconsideration of others. Lastly the electric broke while we were there in the cafe which meant breakfast wasn't available. Again I appreciate this was out of there control, however I feel like they should have shut the park down or tried a bit harder to fix it because we were relying on the cafe for breakfast in order to bring less with us and we had to leave the park much earlier than planned which felt like a waste. The issues happened the day before on the Saturday too which delayed our lunch so I feel there were potentially more options available sooner before the electrics went completely capoot.

Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked: There are a nice playground, a wide range of animals, a soft play area, and a mini golf area. We all enjoyed staying there. Staff was all friendly. Although it said that they have a compositing toilet, there are a plenty of normal toilets. The cafe was nice to have some meals and a cup of tea.
Disliked: There wasn't a detailed farm map which shows where certain animals are, so it was hard to find them. We just stayed only one night, it was too short for kids to walk around and play. We checked in after 14:00, and put the tent up 17:00. We needed to leave by 11:00 next day.

Bell tent (family, six person)
Liked: Second stay for our family within two weeks, this time we done 2 nights and I’m glad we did ! If you’re into camping and animals then this is the place for you, I don’t think anything will top this for me. My kids had an absolute ball ! They love coming to the cafe to see Rodie and lulu , enjoy having a blether in the morning with the staff you can find out a lot about the animals as it’s quiet , the owner took time out her day to answer some questions I had about the animals ( I had lots lol) the sheep dogs are fantastic I think I spent a lot of time with them and their owner let me and the kids play with them in the garden which we really loved getting up close and getting cosys from them . Benny the sheep dog is just gorgeous . I could go on and on about this place all day and how much we love it as a family ! The campsite is clean and their is staff up through the day to clean up and ask if you need anything ( nothing is a problem to the staff ) we cannot wait to come back hopefully Easter or summer for another break and we are excited to see if there will be more changes. Well done everyone involved at the park you have all done a great job . Just through photos and sharing my experience i think 4 of my friends have decided to book up and stay , I would really highly recommend family’s to come and camp here
Disliked: No dislikes but we are hoping to get a shower the next time we come, and as stated earlier I was talking to the owner and I think this is on the cards which would be brilliant . Another perk would be to have a small shop on site that sells essentials as we forgot baby wipes although the little town is 10 mins away it wasn’t a problem. Again these aren’t dislikes Eeeeeee can we please hire the golf buggies 😂 am I going to far here lol? That would be fun to explore
