Yes, was the answer but other people had been a little wiser ...  Read the complete review

Belfast Zoo, or "Belvue" as it's sometimes colloquially known, is located in North Belfast, about a 15 minute bus or car journey from the city centre.

The summer months, as usual, have been terrible. The kids were off school, but the weather meant that they were really bored. we thought long and hard about something that we could all do as a family, as we have a 2 year old, a 5 year old, and an 8 year old.

It was a muggy Sunday afternoon in August when myself, David, Jennie my sister, Johnny her hubby & my adorable, loveable & the apple of my eye niece Lucy visited Belfast zoo.
