点评:Who knew that Medway had a zoo?
It was our visit today after seeing an advert on Facebook. And what a lovely few hours spent there this afternoon. Even though it was a really cold day we still did see most of the animals. It was very relaxed and possibly due to the time of year, quiet. I did notice they had a good amount of picnic tables outside to cater for more guests when it’s busier.
We walked around first, then went for food and a cuppa and did a final walk around afterwards. Food is cooked by the pub which the zoo is behind and I this was also good value for money, with an extensive menu and drinks selection.
We got there at 12.50 and left at 3ish. Had it not been so cold, we would have stayed longer.
Staff were friendly and we spoke to one of the keepers who was in the bob cat enclosure.
For the price, I was impressed. I’ll definitely go back, maybe spring time. If you have small children, I think they would really enjoy it as it’s not too big to walk around and keep their attention.
It looks like they are adding to their current collection with a tropical house opening at some point. All the enclosures looked well maintained and it’s great to see somewhere so local doing something to help with animal welfare and conservation.
翻译:谁能想到梅德韦居然有个动物园?
今天我们在Facebook上看到广告后就去了。下午在那里度过了几个小时,真是太愉快了。虽然天气很冷,但我们还是看到了大部分动物。动物园里很安静,气氛也很轻松,可能是因为季节的原因吧。我注意到外面摆放了不少野餐桌,方便游客在人多的时候使用。
我们先逛了一圈,然后去吃了点东西,喝了杯茶,之后又逛了一圈。食物是由动物园后面的酒吧提供的,价格也很实惠,菜单和饮品种类都很丰富。
我们12点50分到的,3点左右离开。如果不是这么冷,我们肯定会待更久。
工作人员很友好,我们还和一位在短尾猫笼舍的饲养员聊了聊。
就这个价格来说,我觉得很值。我肯定会再去,也许春天的时候去。如果您家有小孩,我觉得他们会很喜欢这里,因为动物园不大,孩子们可以走来走去,注意力也能集中在这里。
看起来他们正在扩建动物园,计划在某个时候开放一个热带馆。所有的动物圈舍看起来都维护得很好,很高兴看到本地有这样的地方在为动物福利和保护做贡献。
