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.

Dec 2018 • Family
A lovely, family-operated mini zoo. I brought a group of approx 25 kids (aged 5-9 years). Christine was so welcoming and accomodating of our programme and number of kids. We got to feed chickens and goats, go on an egg hunt and pet bunny rabbits and ponies. Was a total hit! Highly recommend for small groups or a family outing. Great experience.

*Likely to sell out: Based on Viator’s booking data and information from the provider from the past 30 days, it seems likely this experience will sell out through Viator, a Tripadvisor company.
