Advantages: after you park your car

Disadvantages: traffic during saffari section

Went for the day out during the Easter holidays with my three year old. Was a little annoyed that there was no displays of admission price until you get to the gate (by which time too late to reverse out) and initially thought it was a huge amount (£73 for 3 adults and one child) but later admitted there is a lot to do there. The safari itself was probably the least succesful part, having gone during a school holiday it was a little to a kin to sitting in a traffic jam in africa! My three year old therefore lost interest and the animals were just that little bit to far away to keep her engaged (is apparently better on warmer days) and i was a little disappointed in the monkey enclosure were i heard of them jumping all over your car, but there weren't that many. However when we parked the car we had lots of fun and i managed to regain my daugthters interest on the bouncy castles, monkey enclosure you can walk through, kangeroos with babies, sealions, slides etc etc. The train ride was fun as was the swan pedalo on the lake. Queuing wasn't a problem anywhere other than the swan lake but even that wasn't unbearable. We took a picnic but the places to eat looked reasonable and the facilities were decent. Good shopping. A good day out, could of stayed longer, still more to do.

Summary: worth a visit
