Camperdown wildlife centre is a staple of growing up in or near Dundee. Returning on this day as a day out with my youngest son for his 1st birthday, it represents great value for money for children up to 5 or 6 years old. Older than this, I don't think it has the factors that would keep them entertained for more than an hour.
We loved seeing everything here though and will happily come back again in the future for when we need something to occupy a few hours.
Lastly, we stopped at the café for some food and cake afterwards. The food was simple and tasty, just what you need with kids (our 1 year old loving the ham sandwich and loving a cheese toastie for example) and a fairly significant selection of tasty treats to boot.
All in all, 4 stars as I already knew my expectations and balance it with the cost. Don't head here expecting a full day of fun: 2-3 hours is what you are getting if you stroll around at a decent pace and spend some time at each attraction.
First time visiting this week with a group. It was interesting to see all the various animals in their enclosures. Some parts of the centre were looking a bit worn. The otters were amazing to watch. As was the Owls. Has been many years since I was last here. Plenty of parking available. Also a cafe onsite. Would definitely come back again. The Weaver's Mill restaurant is a good place to eat. As is not far from here.
Well priced with a good variety of animals on show. Not my favourite things seeing caged animals but all the enclosures are pretty well sized.
