Tropical Wings World of Wildlife (Essex) Reviews
Newest Review: ... We love the fact you can actually get so close to the animals-such a privilege and on a wet Winter's day -who needs the Tropics-the butterfly house is so nice we would like to stay! Not only is it great- for learning about nature but it is FUN! We would also like to say it has such a nice friendly atmosphere and the shop allows a gift to go home, no matter if you only have pence not pounds to spend. The cafe is large enough to cater for many and the outside tables are great in the better weather . Unless you prefer to picnic on the grass. Importantly there are lots of hand cleaning places and the toilets have always been spotless, whenever ... more

Our family have grown up as this wonderful place did. Starting as a private collection, that the children were allowed to look at -it slowly expanded and improved to add many more different types of animals to the grounds and developed more areas as it did, so every animal has space. We are now bringing the Grandchildren. We think it caters for everyone from a babe to an oldie (that's getting to be us now!)

I was visiting some friends in London over the weekend, and we decided to try to find a relatively local attraction that wouldn't require us to head into central London (always expensive and stressful, and we'd seen most of it before!). A quick internet search turned up Tropical Wings. The website was not massively promising, but it was fairly closeby so we decided to give it a try. It was easy to find by car, and although the outside looked a little unkempt we were extremely impressed by the experience. It costs £7.75 for an adult ticket (£4.75 for a child), which I think is remarkably cheap considering the zoo is unexpectedly large. If we had gone into ... Read the complete review

Last week I had the pleasure of visiting one of the largest Butterfly Houses in the country. Its part of the Tropical Wings World of Wildlife at South Woodham Ferrers in Essex and this was my second visit. I have to admit that the first time I went there it came as a complete surprise to me. I say that because I must pass it at least once a week and, although I knew it was there, I had absolutely no idea of how big it was or what creatures inhabited it. The first surprise came with the size of the car park, or perhaps I should say parks as they have a main car park and at least two overflows. Parking is free and the walk back to the entrance is very ... Read the complete review
