Anna Ryder-Richardson (of TV fame) and her family have embraced Pembrokeshire and the park, pouring their hearts and resources into the refurbishment.
"Not a huge collection of animals BUT very refreshing. It's for the benefit of the animals as well as the pleasure of the people who visit."
There is a walk through area to see wallabies including an albino one.
The resident gibbon once lived in a concrete room for several years. Now he has a lady friend in a specially designed outdoor area with an island.
" I saw him many metres up at the top of a tree. Wonderful!"
Rhinos are due to move in during 2010. Other animals in the park include tortoise, porcupines, kookaburras, lemurs, pygmy goats, mountain meercats, ponies, llamas, zebras, horses, camels, monkeys, emus and bison.
There is a lot of walking so be prepared. Its not really suitable for wheel chairs. The shop sells unusual bits and pieces. The Manor Cafe and Snack Shack serve food made with natural ingredients locally sourced.
There is even a picnic area where you can set up your own barbeque.
