This is a very nice place to take your children to, i have taken my son to this zoo a few times. 

I didnt know about this zoo, will make it a weekend trip soon.

Probably the best of a bad bunch. It is not quite as open as you might think. Big cats were caged when I was there a couple of years ago and you could pay to feed them meat on a metal spike. Site is home to Flight of the Gibbon, if you are feeling daring. I reccommend the aviary.

I imagine it is busy at weekend, much quieter on weekdays.
