There are many successful businesses within the tourism industry here on the Island and winning Silver in the Best Tourism Experience category is a huge achievement and further establishes and reinforces the developing reputation of the Isle Of Wight as a visitor destination.

LETTER OF THE WEEK

Hi There,

I would just like to feedback on what an amazing day I had on Thursday 22nd October, 2009 while visiting your Park with my family (5 adults). It was the first and only attraction that we had visited during my week on the IOW where we spent a full day there without having to find something else to do in the afternoon.

I enjoyed the way that certain wildlife were allowed to roam freely around and mingle with the visitors (ducks, chickens, fowl). I also like how the wallaby's were allowed to hop onto the visitors path allowing you to pet them and get up close with them.

The different experiences such as the pelican, penguin, bird feeding etc.. were also a perfect addition to the experiences of the Park. I would especially like to commend Jake on his excellent and informative talks that he gave. He was very approachable when asking questions and able to answer them all with ease. He helped to make my day a very enjoyable one indeed, so please pass on my thanks.

If you would like any further feedback on my day then please do not hesitate to get in touch with me.

Kind regards,

Andrew Anthony
Wolverhampton, West Midlands.

Thank you so much for letting us feed Willaby. I really liked the lizards and it was great to see them out of their tanks.

LETTER OF THE WEEK

Dear Staff,

I just wanted to thank you very much for the lovely time we had in your Park. From the moment we arrived from the lady at the pay desk to the ladies in the cafe to the lovely staff that helped us feed Willaby to the other staff helping around the Park, you are all friendly, polite, happy and nothing is too much trouble.

The Park and the animals are clean, well cared for and the place is beautiful. My children Jacques and Billy had a fantastic time feeding Willaby. They also enjoyed the other great activities that go on all through the day.

So I would like to say many thanks to everyone.

From The Wild Family.
