This was a real interactive and memorable day. The whole experience created laughs and memories which will last a long time. Such value for money! Would definitely recommend.

Great experience

Lovely Safari Park, I think is the best one so far. I will definitely go again and recommend to friends. 

Simply the best value for money day out!

This has to be one of the best attractions for a perfect day that is packed with so many things to do and enjoy... and, at such a great price, coupled with a free return visit. Awesome!

Best family day out

Love it!! Plenty to do and see for all ages, clean and tidy. All staff pleasent and friendly, been going at least once a year for over 30 years and still love going.

Fabulous place Great staff. Spotlessly clean

I have an annual pass so use WMSP a lot. It never fails to impress. Today we did the minibus safari tour with Clive, our tour guide and driver. He was so knowledgeable and helpful. It was a lovely experience.

Great day had by all

Lots of close ups with the animals. There was plenty to do and see. Lots of information available regarding the animals.

CBeebie's favourites Bluey and Bingo visited West Midland Safari Park this half term - but huge queues left some families disappointed. One mum said her young son was in tears as he couldn't have a photo with the popular characters.

Fans of the animated TV series were given the chance to meet the canine duo at the Bewdley attraction's Treetops Pavilion between February 20 and 24. Two of the daily appearances were listed as 15-minute activity sessions and three were advertised as meet and greets, with visitors urged to get cameras ready to capture the moment.

Although appearances were included in admission and the website warned entry would be on a first-come-first-served basis, some fuming parents said it was 'badly organised' and they'd 'wasted time' in the queue. Others said the long wait 'wasn't worth it for a 10-second photo'.

Natalie Newey, who visited on Monday, said: "You go in and stand in front of them while you have one photo taken on your phone and then move on, that's it. No meeting or greeting."

Emily Deakin also visited on the first day of half-term. She said: "Shouldn't advertise a meet and greet when all you got was a 10 second photo... No high five, no hugs, no interaction at all. That was after we waited over an hour."

Kelly Short's children didn't get to meet the characters, despite a six-hour round trip. "Queued for ages only to be told no more people allowed into the meet and greet," she said. "What I didn't get was they were still letting people queue when they knew they wouldn't get in. We wasted so much time."

Gemma Wyatt queued for more than an hour on Monday but said it "wasn't worth it". She said: "It was a rushed photo in front of a stage. Bit of false advertising I think really as it's hardly a meet and greet."

Despite a "great day at the park", Leah Smith's visit ended with her little boy in tears as he didn't get to meet the characters. "I think Bluey and Bingo should have been walking around the park like the giant lemur was," she said. "That way everyone could just have a quick photo and enjoy their day."

Lauren Charley said: "Our trip there yesterday was great, the only disappointment was not being able to see Bluey and Bingo, which we specifically went there for. Tried a few times to be eventually told we'd have to wait an hour or more. Poorly managed time and crowd wise."

Darren Wiltshire added: "We went Monday, got there for opening, it was disorganised chaos. Over an hour to get in, it happens everytime WMSP have any kind of event on. We did get to see Bluey but even that was badly organised."

However not everyone had a disappointing experience, Emma Ballard said she thought her daughter was going to "explode with excitement" as while it was a "quick photo", she got to high-five the pair. Tory Crow added: "We had a great day today, arrived at 10, queued for about 30 minutes to get in which is pretty normal. Went straight to the queue for Bluey, took about 30 minutes, great interaction, I was really impressed."

Cat Shepherd said: "On our way out at 3pm, we didn't event queue for Bluey. Got there about two minutes before and straight in. Didn't get front seats but my five-year-old loved it, played and danced with Bluey and Bingo. It's half-term, it's busy. Everywhere is busy!"

West Midland Safari Park said the "overwhelming majority" of feedback had heaped praise on the event but said it would look to make similar appearance ticketed in future to avoid disappointment.

A spokesman said: "Naturally we are disappointed to learn when any guest’s experience has not lived up to their expectations. There has been huge demand from visitors to see the characters, and coinciding with what has been mild half term weather, we have seen many people come to the park. Despite this, the overwhelming majority of reviews and guest feedback has praised the event.

"We are delighted to have been able to offer this opportunity for guests to see Bluey and Bingo at no extra charge and have accommodated as many people as possible. Their popularity has resulted in waiting times which at times were longer than anticipated, and given the feedback on this, we could look to make similar events with popular characters ticketed in the future.

"Our operations team have constantly reviewed the running of the event and adjusted the experience accordingly to ensure we can provide a safe and enjoyable day for all our guests. As always we’d like to thank those who have chosen to visit and spend their leisure time with us.”
