Advantages: Lots to do, takes a full day, entertainment for all ages

Disadvantages: kids getting tired, might not be able to see everything in one day

Having two kids, a zoo is a must to show them, and also a bit of fun for me. Colchester is our nearest zoo and a good one at that, has acres of space and seems they are always doing something to improve the park here. entry is around £15 for adults and £8 for children I think. But for Christmas we got some money so we bought some yearly tickets which pay for themselves after just 3 visits so well worth it if you have young children. Enclosures are fairly adequate for most of the animals in there and the shows are pretty good when they're on, My favourite thing to watch is the Lions and tigers getting fed. I think My kids like watching the bird shows however as they fly quite close to you.

Certainly requires a full day to get round the whole zoo as there is loads to see and also playgrounds for the kids just in case they do get bored of seeing animals.

But if like us you buy a yearly ticket then you don't have to be pressured into seeing the whole zoo in one day, because you can come back another day and see the bits you missed.

Summary: Definately worth a visit but IMO buy a years ticket
