Thanks for your 5-star review, Michelle! We're delighted that you enjoyed your recent visit to Marwell and that you found our animals well cared for. We make sure that their welfare needs are our top priority meaning we are always looking to give them enrichment, as well as the best opportunities to seek shade, shelter, and privacy when they desire it.
We're sorry you were disappointed that you were unable to get closer to our flamingos. Usually, they choose to stay close to the boundary of their enclosure, and in good view for our guests. We recently welcomed three flamingo chicks and they can also be seen in this area. Guests are able to take a ride on our rail train for a small fee and this takes you on a 15-minute journey around the front of the park, allowing close-up views of animals such as flamingos, a pygmy hippo, rhinos, zebras and more!
Thanks again for taking the time to leave us your review; we look forward to seeing you again in the future!
