    Lovely place to see some fantastic animals. Nice spacious enclosures. The feeding talks are really informative & interesting. Try to go on a cloudy cooler day, the animals are a bit more active so there is probably a better chance of seeing them. The food in the cafe is good. The shop isn’t the most expensive for souvenirs & the staff are friendly & helpful.

    Definitely worth a visit. It’s always tricky seeing large animals like polar bears or snow leopards confined to a small area but I guess that’s the nature of zoos. Staff very helpful and informative at the “feeding time” sessions. Restaurant food good.
