“I booked a Raccoon experience for valentines day and it is completely false advertisement. The ad doesn't specify the laws of raccoons from 2 years ago on their website. We arrived there only for the raccoons. It wasn't a personal experience with them. As nice as it is to be shown other animals it was the ad for a raccoon experience. My girlfriend is absolutely mad for raccoons and when being shown the other animals first for 90% of our time we then get to see these raccoons begging to be set free behind bars to meet us and if anyone touches them but the zookeepers there was a risk of euthanasia! which was explained right at the peak of meeting them. The information stated 3 racoons Miko, Rocket and Bandit. While only 2 were available and when asking about the 3rd raccoon - a clear lie stated the raccoon was hiding while the 6 of us on the experience were looking in all areas. It clearly wasn't around anymore. How can the other 2 raccoons instincts get so persuaded by food but the other one completely missing. Its not like a set of keys as they aren't tiny creatures. Most likely put down and hidden out of sight. We were so gutted as we travelled from south London. The falconry 'enclosures' were way to short as we saw birds attempting to fly and smash into the fences and looking so depressed. I felt like giving money is only punishing these animals. There is way too much going on in this area to feed the owners pockets while the full focus should be on the animals. We've already read employees reviews that match my point. Owners build taller enclosures and state that you cant touch racoons on the website. The raccoons looked liked they wanted to see the group of us as much as we wanted to see them. We felt so depressed after the experience. If you love raccoons I wouldn't recommend unless you like seeing their arms reaching out for you to share a desperate plea of wanted attention.
I understand the law isn't millets farms fault but you have to state it clearly and say it at the very beginning.
I don't understand how you can touch other animals and not raccoons.”
“This has become our go-to place to visit when we aren’t sure what to do on the weekend. Our baby daughter is too young to really enjoy it, but my husband and I enjoy wandering along the (truthfully, quite small) animal walk and the Farm Shop.
There are a wide variety of activities that require booking and small fee, which we are excited to eventually try. However, it’s easy enough to have a pleasant outing here for free.
We spent the afternoon here with my 12, 9, and 7 year old nieces, who all enjoyed themselves. Bring along some change for the carousel and carnival games, if you can!
I’m sure you could easily spent a whole day out here, if you had pre booked activities. There’s understandably a lot less if you just come along to explore without booking activities, but even then it could easily fill an afternoon.”
“I take my 8 and 4 year old to Millets and have been visiting since I was the same age. Pick your own is always a fun day out, and the playground, animals and holiday events are always brilliant. New restaurant is pretty good and can't wait for the soft play to open”
