点评:It’s a small zoo and is looking a bit dated. It is very pricey at around £20 per person though. There are lots of enclosures but about half are avian. A few empty enclosures as they’re clearly doing some work.
The café was pretty pricey, very friendly service but very slow; this was a term time Saturday in May so it must be very busy in summer. There are picnic areas outside though including a covered area so that may be a more reliable choice for families. The range of food did well for gluten free but not many savory options for vegetarians.
We spent about three hours there, probably 3-4 hours is a reasonable time if taking in one or more of the exhibit explanations (best to check on times before you go to plan your day).
The animals mostly seemed to have enough space, a bit of tlc wouldn’t go amiss on the presentation of enclosures and pathways etc. but it must be a huge job to keep on top of and the animal welfare would quite rightly be the priority.
翻译:这是一个小型动物园,看起来有点老旧。门票价格不菲,每人大约20英镑。园内有很多动物笼舍,但大约一半是鸟类笼舍。有些笼舍空着,显然工作人员正在进行一些维护工作。
咖啡馆价格偏高,服务态度非常友好,但上菜速度很慢;我们去的时候是五月的一个学期期间的周六,所以夏天肯定非常拥挤。不过,外面有野餐区,包括一个带顶棚的区域,所以对于家庭来说,这可能是一个更可靠的选择。食物种类丰富,适合无麸质食品,但素食者的咸味选择不多。
我们在那里待了大约三个小时,如果想参观一个或多个展区并听讲解,3-4个小时可能比较合适(最好提前查看讲解时间安排)。
动物们看起来活动空间都足够,如果能稍微维护一下笼舍和通道等设施就更好了,但要保持这些设施的整洁肯定是一项繁重的工作,动物福利理应是首要考虑因素。
