Advantages: A lot of park land for children to run about.

Disadvantages: Too big and drawn out

My fiance had a week off work and we thought we'd begin our holiday by going to Whipsnade. The weather wasn't very nice but we still went as we had already got our tickets through our Tesco clubcard points. I'm now glad we didn't have to pay for it as I found the Zoo very big and drawn out, you had to walk for ages to get to certain areas like the penguins. I also felt as if some of the animals weren't happy, there was a hippo rocking back and forth and the chimps were just starring and looked sad. However the shows were really good and everything was very informative. I did go back a second time as my Nan wanted to take my two girls when it was sunny and the animals seemed to be happier, maybe they're like us and get miserable when the weather is rainy!

Summary: Good if you like walking, or maybe try doing the car safari?
