点评:We haven't been to Exmoor zoo for a few years and it has improved since we last went. There are new animals and the large bird enclosure with a walk through has been finished. It can be a bit confusing to walk around and make sure you see everything, but they give you a map and there are lots of map boards around the zoo.
It was a bit wet and cold on the day we went, so some of the animals were huddled indoors sleeping. You could still see most of them through the windows though.
We didn't manage to see the red panda, but saw everything else after a second walk through. There are so many different animals to see and animals that aren't at other zoos I've been to (like ringtails, honey badgers, wolverines, wolves etc)
Everything looks well taken care of (the animals and enclosures).
The staff were super friendly and helpful. One keeper was telling us all about the ringtail, which was interesting, and another keeper heard me saying the sand cat was my favourite, so he took us over to the enclosure and went in to feed her so that she would come out of hiding! I thought that was such a great thing to do.
There are plenty of undercover areas for eating lunch or you can go in to the cafe at the top of the hill (the whole site is on a hill, so can be tricky for wheelchairs, pushchairs and people who are unsteady on their feet).
I would highly recommend bringing cash because sometimes the card machines can struggle to work (the zoo is in the middle of nowhere so not their fault).
翻译:我们好几年没去埃克斯穆尔动物园了,感觉比上次去的时候好多了。新增了一些动物,大型鸟类展馆也完工了,可以步行参观。动物园里走来走去可能会有点迷路,不过他们会提供地图,而且园内到处都有指示牌。
我们去的那天有点潮湿寒冷,所以有些动物都躲在室内睡觉。不过透过窗户还是能看到它们。
我们没看到小熊猫,但第二次参观后就看到了其他所有动物。这里有很多不同的动物,还有一些我去过的其他动物园没有的动物(比如环尾猫、蜜獾、狼獾、狼等等)。
所有动物和它们的圈舍看起来都得到了很好的照顾。
工作人员非常友好热情,乐于助人。一位饲养员给我们讲解了环尾猫,很有意思。另一位饲养员听到我说我最喜欢沙猫,就带我们去了它的围栏,进去喂它,好让它从藏身之处出来!我觉得他真是太棒了。
动物园里有很多带遮挡的用餐区,或者你也可以去山顶的咖啡馆(整个动物园都在山上,所以轮椅、婴儿车和行动不便的人可能会觉得不太方便)。
我强烈建议带现金,因为有时候刷卡机不太好用(动物园地处偏僻,所以这也不能怪他们)。
