Zoo Presents Chocolate Moose, The - Zoo (The)

All The Fun Of The .... Zoo!

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

For the last two years my daughter and I have enjoyed a few days in Blackpool, and on both trips our favourite of all the attractions was the zoo, in fact it was only 3 days since our recent visit and my daughter is still talking about it. Situated just a couple of miles from The Golden Mile Promenade I believe it is easily accessible and sign posted for cars from the M6, and has a large car park. However as I don't drive and we were staying in Blackpool, we took the open top sightseeing bus from the tower, which stops at all the big attractions and the nearby Haven and Pontins holiday parks, and takes you right up to the Zoo entrance. Set in 32 acres of parkland and lakes, Blackpool zoo isn't huge, but I definitely think it is one of the best zoo's I have ever been too. It is home to 1500 animals from 400 different species ...

Review of Chester Zoo

Taronga Zoo

Advantages: Read Opp
Disadvantages: None

a discounted price, as there were a large number of us. If you are going in a group, which is usually more than 12 people then you can expect to pay $32, which gives you a saving of $9. You can also have the option of booking a one day or two day pass, which allows you to cover the zoo over a number of days. Zoo Packages: The zoo opens at 9:00 am in the morning, and to be honest visitors have a wide variety of things they can do, they have the option of either going around the zoo by themselves, take up some presentations or stick with a tour guide who will show you around the park in great detail, making sure you don?t miss anything, whilst at the same time giving you some detailed background information about the animal, its habitat, etc. Some of the tours included in the visit can include the Australian Walkabout tour, which is a group tour ...
