If you bare in mind all the work that goes into running a zoo snd all the behind the scene projects then it is worth the entry fee We saw every animal on the program , if they don’t come out to see you we saw them on the way back at a different time Loved it Few informative talks throughout the day Definitely worth a day out - go on a cool day though - it’s up hill walking
Large zoo. Many animals not available ti be seen. Unsure why? cages just empty.
Overpriced shop. £7.50 for a small potion of candy. £6.00 for a 20p worth plastic keyring ornament.
The range of species and well planned infrastructure. Sighting all of them specially Penguins was a treat to the eyes. Highly recommended to everyone.
