Went along purely on a whim this afternoon and was very impressed indeed. I had read about World of Wings on social media and planned to go along at some point. Today was that day. The flying display was excellent - the staff were really relaxed and informative, and we had the opportunity to see owls, hawks, eagles and even a stork in flight! Will definitely be back.

Popped in here during a overnight stay in Sanquhar. What a wee gem of a place! Warmly welcomed by Alison, who kindly took the time to show us round and introduce us to her animal family - goats, rabbits, guinea pigs, ponies, donkeys.....and more! Great to see how much space the animals have - and nice to get up close to them all. Not a huge farm but big enough to spend an hour or 2. Entry was free - we had hoped to see donation points, however we didn't notice any but were pleased to hand a well deserved donation to Alison. Very glad we stopped by - Alison and her helpers obviously put a lot of work in - and the animals are clearly happy and well cared for. Thank you for showing us round!Fiona & Gerry.x

I came here on Saturday 10th of April 2021 with my wife and 2 year old son. The park has has a children's zoo, tropical glasshouse, ornamental gardens, nature trails, adventure & toddler Play areas, Gift shop, Café, exhibition gallery and a Golf Course! We went to the zoo and adventure & toddler Play areas. The zoo is small and only has some small animals but it's great for under 5's and very cheap to get in. The adventure park has one of the biggest slides I've ever seen and my son went flying down it even though he's only 2 and absolutely loved it!

We were recommended to visit the Pond by previous visitors. Weren't disappointed! The lady who led us round was very knowledgeable about the history of the rocky cove and the varied stock in the pond. An excellent and real value-for- money 'attraction'

I spent the morning with Stewart and Kevin on a hunting experience with the beautiful Inca the Harris Hawk. I had such a lovely morning with them, walking the fields overlooking Loch Lomond in the search of pheasants for Inca. After the experience we stayed for the flying display which was one of the best I’ve ever been to, Stewart and Kevin have so much passion for their birds, their knowledge and love really shows, which made the display so much more enjoyable. As others have mentioned, the centre is small, but if you rush around things then yes it’ll take 10 minutes but if you’re interested in the birds and take your time you could be there for hours! Thank you to the whole team at the Loch Lomond Bird of Prey Centre!

Visited here today, two family’s 4 adults and 4 children in total. I travelled from Cockermouth and would do it all over again!! It’s worth the travel and we will be going back. It’s amazingly clean and the staff are amazing (there are lots of them) but they are busy keeping everyone happy and the place spotless. All the doors are secure and alarmed so little ones can’t get out of the indoor area. So there is a huge indoor play area (soft play) and a cafe which is reasonably priced and tasty. Also a huge area with ride along tractors and little tike cars. Outside there is a park, huge bouncy castle inflatable, go kart track, mini golf, trampolines, sand area and a huge track for family go karts to go right round the farm park. Plus a water fight area. The water boats are £2 and the electric motorbikes that are on a track outside and inside take £1 coins. Water bombs are 50p but apart from that everything is included in the price. We were there all day and left at 4.30 We will be returning I would rather travel the extra 30 mins from Carlisle and go here instead of Walby.
