It's good, if a little light on gibbons.
The tour thing is a bit pants, just walk round - more interesting.
The bat exhibit smells somewhat like evil, but is a good laugh (i.e don't open the door and shun it instantly)
If you are going, please can you observe and explain the strange species of car wash / 24 hour hour coop / petrol station / very posh car garage just near the main entrance? Who buys a bently / ferrari / aston from a co-op???
Oh, and enjoy your day out, I have every time i've been!

went a few years back and was surprised how good it was. been meaning to go again as they have bears now.
you can't get in the cages but sometimes a keeper may get an audience member involved in the elephant pen. have seen someone help wash one.
the columbian spider monkeys are free to leave their cage but they either sit in a tree or mooch along a rope.

Can you ride any of the animals or go in the cages?
Pay me a decent entry fee and I'll let you ride me. For hours.ETA: I'll even throw in a 'rocket lolly' for free which you can have a good suck on.

Big though! Take sandwiches, and comfortable shoes...


























t night out. had the misfortune of living there. nice to look at but for entertainment is truly dire.
