Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What travellers are saying
- Something Less BoringMilton Keynes, UK2 contributionsThis little gem allows you to get up close with some amazing creatures. The knowledgeable and passionate staff are a real pleasure to listen to and speak with.
We so thoroughly enjoyed the Owl Experience with Nigel getting to feed and fly Barn Owl, Burrowing Owls and a Long Eared Owl. The Wild Encounter with Raccoons, Meerkats and Wallabies was fantastic too.
There are loads of other things to see too, including flying displays, insects and reptiles.
We’re already planning return visit!!

What a wonderful little museum of large model railways and miniature villages. The attention to detail of the displays is breathtaking and has to be seen to appreciate it. Excellent for all ages. Run by very friendly and informative volunteers. Must be one of the finest and largest model railway scenes in the country. Parking just outside the entrance. Around £7 per adult entrance fee which is very reasonable we thought. Allow up to 2 hours for the visit and the step back in time to the 1920s and 30s. Highly recommend for all the family.Written 4 April 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- happyramblerKentKent79 contributionsExcellent free local history and geology museum in listed building in central Abingdon. Staff welcoming and very informative.

- CaninecaperLondon, UK223 contributionsWe walked from Abingdon and took in Abingdon Lock on the way. The paths were gravelled so it wasn't too muddy after the recent rain. Plenty of birdlife to watch.Written 26 September 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Chris SGamlingay, UK141 contributionsHad a great time here with the owners, a lovely couple who are clearly very keen on the world of wine.
Utterly different to any vineyard we've visited before, and rather refreshing. The hosts were very honest about how they manage the place, their goals and their passion for it.
Absolutely worth a visit.Written 9 October 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- ChocolateorangetravelerOxford, UK141 contributionsBravo to the marketing department for making it compulsory to walk through the toy shop to get to the exit. Just what every parent on a budget needs. Play area is fantastic. Food ok, nothing to write home about. Does what it says on the tin.Written 7 March 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Lbroome705Courtenay, Canada85 contributionsWe wandered this spot for a stroll while passing through Abingdon, well kept and a pretty quiet spot when we were there.
