The Elephants are gone🤐. Otherwise it's a decent zoo, fairly hilly though for walking.

Great place to spend time with kids but not many animals compared to other zoos in uk

We loved it! The animals were out and active and we managed to see majority of them. We had a 2.5 and a 3mth old with 2 adults and the cost was brilliant! The walk can be steep but we enjoyed that, added to the fun of the day - a work out whilst having fun. The weather was great too which definitely helped make the day perfect.
