Holy City Zoo - Mob Research

Advantages: Fantastic zoo, lots of animals, fascinating talks, animals seem very well cared for.
Disadvantages: Play areas and Dinasaur safari were dissapointing.

...really recommend that anyone visiting does the same. They are really very insightful, and my 4 year old daughter was fascinated and asked lots of questions at the end, when offered to do so by the very friendly and approachable staff. I also leave feeling happy that the animals are very well cared for and are given a natural environment as possible. It is incredibly clean and well maintained and the animals really do look happy and well. Blackpool zoo claim to be committed to the conservation of endangered species and research and it is pretty clear that really is the case. While it is on the expensive side, I personally think it is worth paying to go, although I would advise you to take your own food to keep costs down, and try and bypass the gift shop! The only disappointing areas are the dinosaur safari and the play areas, however seeing... Read review

...On a recent visit to Blackpool we visited the Blackpool zoo for the first time, although we have been to Blackpool twice before in the past few years we didn't go to the zoo during these visits, we read about the zoo on the internet and a few friends had told us it was really good. WERE IS THE ZOO? Unfornately we went to Blackpool for the illuminations and the weather wasn't great , however we had a few cloudy days and we still went to the zoo and had a great day, the zoo opens at 10am and there is a bus running from Blackpool promenade (outside the Tower) that takes you right to the zoo, which is situated in Stanley park, we didn't realise that the bus stop was outside the Tower so we got a black taxi to the zoo which cost us around £8.00. We arrived at the zoo a little after 10am, and after getting out of the taxi we... Read review

...This review is on my visit to Taronga City Zoo, which is located in Sydney Australia. I had heard some great reviews about the Zoo, and was told if your ever going to Sydney its one of the best places to visits in terms of finding out about the local wildlife which is indigenous to that part of the World. I was truly amazed, I have been to a lot of Zoo?s around the world, however I found the zoo, more exotic and exciting to visits and this however could be because it was set in a beautiful country, which was experiencing a 40 degree heat wave. Info The zoo was officially opened in 1916, with over 50 acres of free space which is home to some 2,600 animals. How to Get There: There are several ways to get to the zoo; these include taking modes of transport such as the bus, a ferry, a train and a local bus operator which offers a return... Read review
