Large conservation zoo.
- Home ed
- Home educator events with short interactive conservation and field-skills sessions – dates to check.
Why we'd go
A big, well-kept zoo that feels like a walking safari – 140 acres of spacious enclosures, clean facilities and lots of picnic spots.
Watch out for
Much larger and hillier than expected (about six miles of walking). Wear comfortable shoes, use the road train for a rest, and bring a picnic, as food is slightly on the higher side.
