“Lovely day out!”
I took my two aunts and cousin from Australia. We had such a lovely day. The weather was hot and sunny and at lunch time two very kind and helpful keepers were able to find us a shady spot and put up a picnic table just for us! How kind! We were visited by the most magnificent peacock who kept us amused during lunch! We hired a buggy for one of my aunts, which meant she was able to see everything we could. Well worth it. Our visit to meet the Jaguar was the highlight of the day. Wonderful

“Absolutely amazing experience!”
Such a wonderful experience, the coati were lovely, can't believe I had never heard of them before! The otters were very chatty and had such character. The raccoon was definitely our favourite, she was an absolute gem. Finally seeing the cheetahs was the cherry on top. If you don't get the experience, the trip to the zoo is definitely worth the trip!
