The Animalarium

Wonderful place. Lovely animals. Helpful staff. If you put less than 5 stars you should be ashamed of yourself as the place is truly wonderful and staff work very hard there to 365 days a year to look after those who became "unwanted". Also if you think that £9 is too much to pay per person, stay at home and watch tv you penny pincher.

Loved it! Thank you very much. Me & the dog will be returning.

Lovely family run business with loads of animals to see. Really good entrance fee, they also serve food and drink. The owner Dean was really friendly. Definitely would return

Lovely afternoon out even in the rain! Visited with 2x under 5's who loved the food pots. Staff were so friendly and welcoming. Some lovely half term Halloween bits set up for the kids to enjoy and the animals were all very friendly. We enjoyed meeting Twilight, Hamish and Nimbus in the petting zoo too.

Had a lovely morning here with the kids aged 3 & 7! We loved it & all of the animals! First time we have been there, we got to stroke a few of the animals that one of the keepers brought out to show us which was lovely! We bought lots of pots of food to feed all the animals with & we enjoyed doing that more than the kids did! Staff are lovely and chatty with the visitors, I'm definitely coming back here next time I'm in Aberystwyth as it stood out as one of the best things we've done whilst here, was a big hit with them & us! ☺

This place was an absolute Gem to stumble upon. I loved the time I spent here with the animals... I got to feed and pet them, it was a real treat. If your in the area then definitely pop in, especially if you have kids they would really enjoy themselves.

This place is a hidden gem and doesn't cost a fortune to get in. We were on holiday down this part of Borth and wanted to find a family day out experience in the area for us and the kids to do, which was dog friendly as we had our dog with us. This place had all of the above and more! Lots of animals for the kids to see and interact with. No need to pre book, plenty of free parking around the place and dog friendly which was great for us. There is a cafe and small shop, serving tea, coffee, cold drinks, cakes and ice cream. They also offer feeding tubs for the animals on entry, which all the kids and us grown ups enjoyed doing. Well worth the visit.

Variety of animals with indoor and outdoor enclosures. Family run with friendly staff. Ideal for children.

Had a lovely Saturday out, was lovely to see the animals. I adored seeing the rabbits and goats. Very polite goats, even my friend who was nervous of them, was able to build the courage to feed them. We also met some lovely, ducks in the most lovely green iridescence.

We arrived just as the meet and greet in the barn started. Was a lovely experience, my friend got to hold the hairiest guinea pig I’ve ever met; he looks like a little rockstar.

I like the option to feed the animals is fresh veggies and not pellets. Staff were also clear on what we could and couldn’t feed.

Staff were friendly and I enjoyed hearing about the wolf-dogs.

We decided to visit as we were on holiday for a few days.Our daughter enjoyed herself feeding and petting the animals.Overall a pleasant way to spend a couple of hours and realistically entry fee not that expensive.The cafe served good food which was also reasonably priced.I would recommend a visit if you have children .

Reasonable price , I took a 12 year old and a 14 year old we all enjoyed it . They loved feeding the goats . Worth a trip down if your in Borth .

We first visited here 6 years ago do were excited to return this year and we are glad we did. The staff are so friendly and Dean made my daughters day after talking to us about the animals and letting her hold a rex rabbit and rat which ran inside her hood (she loved it). He chatted about them which she loved and when we saw him again outside he again was very informative about the animals. We loved the animals and are looking forward to visiting again soon.

I have been visiting here for years .. and it’s only getting better .. this year we had a tour with dean himself.. we heard about each animal and it’s history, also where the breed originated from. This was just amazing as I’ve never known a zoo to be able to do this. My son has different needs and he also did the marmoset experience.. the lady that took him in was just amazing.. he really enjoyed it and she really new how to keep him calm and relaxed .. the zoo is looking amazing with upgrades being done to make it even better .. I can’t wait to be visiting again .. oh and we were able to take my dog round also... honestly I love it here and strongly recommend.... thank you to everyone involved with the zoo .. you have given us life long precious memories xx

Lovely day out nice to be able to feed the animals and has a nice little cafe for refreshments

We has a wonderful time at the time at the zoo. With all the hard work that the owner have done with the support ofthe local community it was a pleasure to be there. You could see the vision they have to bring the zoo up to their vision. Meeting the owners was fantastic. Having the family feeling. Big bonus was that we could take the dogs in to join us.

Cute little pet zoo. Cute animal to see

Very lovely place and staff has great knowledge about animals. It was great to hear the wolfdogs howling for the first time!They have less animals than before hence they’re now recovering from the impact Covid had on them, so I highly recommend anyone to pay a visit and support the animals ❤

Absolutely brilliant, great for kids with being able to pet the animals.

Volunteer family run animal sanctuary. A run down infrastructure but doing as good as they can for the animals. Would highly recommend a visit, just to support the excellent work they do. The Wolfdog hybrids Zeus and Comba are well worth seeing on their own, without the petting area and other animals. And they are dog friendly. Recommend a visit.

The whole family and even my dog loved it. Brilliant that it is dog friendly, very impressed with the selection of animals and we would certainly make an effort to come back again if we are in the area.

Lovely little animal park, cheap to enter and the staff were lovely. You could pet some of the animals and the owner was very friendly and knowledgeable . Would highly recommend
