Zoo

👍👍 I chose to do a VIP experience for my 16th birthday. I'm a huge reptile lover and I got to handle 5 different reptiles, it was absolutely amazing. It has been my dream to hold a giant snake so we asked for the Burmese Python and Boa Constrictor they were really cool. Ben and Puri were very nice and...

BCA Zoo

Zoo

👍👍 We took my 3 year old son & 6 year old nephew to the zoo's Christmas Elf event. It was very well organised. We made presents for the animals & then very much enjoyed watching the animals tuck into them. The children loved being able to actually give the animals their presents & hold/touch the cockro...

Woburn Safari park

Zoo

👍👍 Great place for the family. Drive through Safari with option to avoid (including just monkey enclosure, to protect the car!) and also able go round multiple times. My advice, if getting there early, is to avoid the drive though Safari at the beginning and go straight to the zoo. It will be virtually...

Hobbledown Heath

Theme park

😐 Great place for kids, but not everything is ready yet. Anyway, my kids were happy. Large play area inside and a lovely cafe. Outside there are activities with water and sand. I would advise not to take a stroller with you, as it will not pass through the rubble. I also think that the price is a...

Kew Little Pigs

Tourist attraction

👍👍 From the moment we arrived, we felt super welcome. Our guide was very knowledgeable, clearly cared for all the animals, and obviously loved her job. We were given brushes to carefully groom the piggies which was not only a super calming experience for me, but also for the pigs (a few even fell aslee...

Get to know animals CIC

👍 A bit overwhelming when you first go in as it is basically the ground floor of a house filled with animals! But once you get over the noise and sight, it's enjoyable. They have all sorts of reptiles, small mammals, chickens, a duck and even a pig when we went. Some are rescue animals. Kids enjoyed...

Chessington Zoo

Zoo

😐 Stayed overnight at Chessington in a themed room. Beds were uncomfortable and the pillows too soft making sleep uncomfortable.
