Tips

Not impressed by this zoo. My daughter loves zoos so we visit a lot. Found this to be quite small with a relatively small number of animals. Only one place to eat with a large queue outside to get a seat. We were done in half a day.

Both kids and adults enjoyment. Hopefully will get more animals.

Great zoo with loads to do!
