Our visit was overshadowed by a parking fine. There is a well planned scam here where the parking machine issues a ticket - which is not a ticket, and then fines you for not buying a ticket. The buil…Full review by Chris P

Don’t pay - they are breaching BPA code of conduct. See reviews further down. If enough of us refuse to paid surely they can’t take us all to court can they!?!? It’s their system that is at fault not us. Apparently legal action is being started against them. Luckily I’ve still got my ticket, but I’m over by 29 seconds from ticket purchase and 5 minutes from arrival of car park. It’s ridiculous!

Q:
Getting very worried about so alleged parking scam at the Butterfly Zoo. We was coming to visit, we are old age pensioners and could not afford a fine. Is this still the case with the parking here. Kind regards Mrs Donnia Cardell
A:
We visited this month. Just received a parking charge for £100. We paid to park there as well
Q:
Is the parking still ran by ‘Parking Eye’ and therefore subject to massive fines?
A:
Yes total rip off merchants even if you do buys ticket they still fine you on any minor thing
Q:
Are there free parking for blue badge holders.
A:
Don’t know there are disabled spaces but I’d be careful as they scan your car plate as you go in so you need to check on the pay meter
