点评:Approximately £34 for a family of 4 which in this current climate is thought was very reasonable.
This was our first visit here even though we only live 45 minutes away, I wasn't aware it existed untill recently! No small children with us just 3 adults and an animal loving teen. This zoo is definitely more for younger children.
Firstly the gift shop where you can photo the map of the zoo. I was disappointed that I couldn't purchase a fridge magnet as I personally like to collect them on my travels. There isn't much in the gift shop in my opinion which is a shame. I think if they had more zoo branded items it could make them more money.
It is a small zoo so don't expect tigers and penguins etc.
I was concerned at the size of some enclosures. Specifically the arctic foxes. Their enclosure seemed in a sorry state. The old raccoon dogs are beautiful.
Unfortunately the lakeside restaurant was closed for an event, the pizza shed was also closed so everyone was at the cafe so we ended up grabbing a mcdonalds on the way home.
It would have been nice to be told of the closures at the desk on the way in but nevermind. The lemur walk through was closed for the morning but did open at half 1. We were there at 11 so didn't bother hanging around to see them.
Our whole visit took approximately 2 hours but I imagine if you have younger children you'll spend longer there as there are a few play areas for them.
Perfect for families with younger children for a day out.

虽然我们家离这里只有45分钟车程,但这却是我们第一次来。直到最近我才知道有这么个地方!我们一行四人,没有小孩,只有三个大人和一个热爱动物的青少年。这个动物园显然更适合年龄较小的孩子。
首先是礼品店,你可以在那里拍动物园地图的照片。我很失望没能买到冰箱贴,因为我个人喜欢在旅行中收集冰箱贴。我觉得礼品店里的东西不多,有点可惜。如果他们能多卖一些动物园品牌的商品,应该能赚更多钱。
这是一个小型动物园,所以不要指望能看到老虎、企鹅之类的动物。
我对一些动物的笼舍大小感到担忧,特别是北极狐的笼舍。它们的笼舍看起来状况很糟糕。不过,那些老貉很漂亮。
可惜的是,湖边餐厅因为举办活动而关闭了,披萨店也关门了,所以大家都去了咖啡馆,我们最后只好在回家的路上买了麦当劳。
如果入口处的服务台能提前告知这些关闭情况就好了,不过也无所谓了。狐猴步道上午关闭,但1点半重新开放。我们11点就到了,所以就没在那里逗留。
我们整个行程大约花了2个小时,但我想如果你带着小一点的孩子,可能会待更久,因为那里有几个儿童游乐区。
这里非常适合带小朋友的家庭一日游。
