点评:While being a wet and wintry day in February, still a very enjoyable experience! Any staff I interacted with were kind and helpful!
I booked a day in advance meaning I took advantage of the discount for prebooking, it costing only £11 for my day visit. There is some form of yearly ticket available but I don't live local so couldn't make the most of it. I stayed around 3 hours and being by myself meant I could look around all areas that I wanted to.
Obviously, being a wet, cold day meant that crowds weren't an issue so could basically go anywhere in the zoo unhindered by crowds! ☺️ They've got many signs around the zoo suggesting you download the interactive app and I found it very helpful, particularly for directions to certain enclosures when there wasn't any staff around to ask for directions. They have audio commentary in some areas, although I didn't yake advantage of this function.
It being winter meant a few of the animals had been moved into warmer places out of sight of visitors. I imagine going in the summer would be advised to see all the animals they have in the zoo. It was good to see lots of refurbishment work going on around the zoo which shows they are planning for the future and looking at ways of making the zoo better for the animals and visitors alike ☺️
I would say as well the zoo is best for kids as there were so much information and fun activities to help them learn about the animals and environments. I would definitely advise strong parental supervision when exiting the zoo through the gift shop as there is a lot of bright, colourful things made to attract little kiddywinks 😂
Overall, a very good visit despite the weather and would love to come back perhaps in the summer when the animals are more likely to be enjoying the summer sun ☺️☺️
翻译:虽然二月的天气阴冷潮湿,但这次动物园之行依然非常愉快!遇到的所有工作人员都非常友善热情!
我提前一天预订,享受了预订折扣,一日游只需11英镑。动物园也提供年票,但我不住在附近,所以没能买到。我独自一人游览了大约3个小时,可以自由自在地参观所有想去的地方。
当然,因为天气阴冷潮湿,所以人不多,我可以不受人群干扰地在动物园里自由漫步!☺️ 动物园里有很多指示牌建议下载互动应用程序,我发现它非常实用,尤其是在找不到工作人员问路的时候,可以用它来寻找特定的动物展区。有些区域提供语音讲解,但我没有使用这项功能。
由于是冬季,一些动物被转移到了游客看不到的温暖区域。我想夏天去的话,应该能看到动物园里所有的动物。很高兴看到动物园里到处都在进行翻新工程,这说明他们正在为未来做规划,努力让动物园对动物和游客都更加友好☺️
我觉得动物园非常适合带孩子去,因为那里有很多信息和有趣的活动,可以帮助孩子们了解动物和它们的生存环境。不过,我强烈建议家长在带孩子离开动物园去礼品店的时候一定要全程陪同,因为那里有很多色彩鲜艳的小玩意儿,很容易吸引小朋友的注意力😂
总的来说,尽管天气不太好,但这次参观体验还是很棒的。我很想再去一次,也许夏天的时候,动物们应该会更享受夏日的阳光☺️☺️
