Combe Martin Wildlife and Dinosaur Park

The Combe Marin Wildlife and Dinosaur Park can be found in the scenic Devonshire countryside which is not difficult to find if you are booked at one of the comfortable holiday cottages in Devon. The park houses a lot of animals such as California sea lions, wallabies and wolves. The sea lions come from California, USA which is why they are called California sea lions. You can watch them as they perform for the audience.  The Red-Neck wallabies are from the forests of Tasmania and Eastern Australia. Their names come from the red fur on their shoulder and nape. The wallabies can be seen at the zoo and in fact, you can pet them and feed them too.  There is Wallaby food at the zoo that you can use to feed them. The Dinosaurs are the biggest attractions here at the park.  They were constructed according to the design of the park authorities by the use of animatronic technology. Internal and external computers operate the dinosaurs which you will find in different areas of the park. There are also European wolves at the zoo and you can watch the howling shows conducted by wolf expert Shaun Ellis. The park opens at 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. every day. You would need to pay an entrance fee of £14 for adults, £8.50 for children 3 to 15 years old and a package fee of £40 for families. This place is really worth a visit especially when you are staying at the holiday cottages in Devon.

One of the popular attractions that children will really enjoy is the Adventure Island.  Designed for family members of all ages, Adventure Island is a large theme park with indoor and outdoor activities. The total size of this park is 7 acres and there are 4 rides within the park. You can enjoy several attractions here which you and the whole family will enjoy.
