Minimal blue badge spaces and the other spaces are rather tight. Had to park some distance away to be able to park across two spaces to ensure enough room to get in and out vehicle. Steep hill to get down from the carpark to the main entrance. Main entrance big and airy with disabled friendly counters. Once out the main entrance there are toilets, steps or a diversion along and around if you need level access. The kerbs in the zoo are rather high and there aren’t many places with dropped kerbs or ramps to get on and off them. Quite a lot of the pathways are breaking up and becoming uneven. Zoo is on a very steep hillside and unfortunately most of the exhibits now seem to be towards the top end of the zoo. There is an accessible vehicle that can take wheelchair users to the top of the zoo. Those with limited mobility though are on their own. The vehicle is very limited in the passengers it can take splitting up a family potentially. Toilets are something to be desired and could certainly do with more regular cleaning. Staff, when you see any, are approachable if you can catch up with them.

Poor
Signage wasn’t great with high kerbs. Pathways are getting rough and uneven. Some steps aren’t clearly marked and hard to see. Limited seating around the park.
