Great day out to the zoo

I really enjoyed a day out with helpful kind and very understanding staff from the zoo. We saw tigers, elephants, tortoises , monkeys and lemurs and throughout the day it was brilliant lots of different talks on. Great disabled facilities as well would go back.

Poor recognition to disabilities

Let down badly by mistakes from the operators to those in wheelchairs and hearing impaired guests. There was nothing provided anywhere that we saw that catered to hearing impaired guest, of all the animal experience encounters only one was made available to wheelchair guests, and then was nothing like they promoted. Instead of animal enrichment and getting stuck in, it was just a glorified accompanied tour of the zoo.
