Compared with the other big attraction we looked at, this worked out much cheaper for two adults and two children once you add up the tickets. Booking took a few minutes and the QR codes worked first time at the gate. We used the family deal and got a free return on the same day. Good value and easy, which is all we wanted.

I know animals do not always cooperate but there was no notice on the booking page about the works. The tickets themselves were fine. Refund was a bit of a palaver to sort out by email.
Read moreThe lemur enclosure was the highlight of our visit, and the keeper stopped to talk to us about the ring tailed ones for a good ten minutes which I did not expect. The rest of the grounds were a little quieter than I had hoped and the cafe queue was rather long at lunchtime, but we did have a pleasant afternoon, and I would be happy to go back in the spring.
Read moreHonestly the zoo is fine if you want a few hours with the animals and a bit of fresh air. The booking page is clear enough. The sessions we booked for the keeper talk were sold as going ahead but the talk was shorter than advertised, and nobody explained why. Good enough, but I would expect a bit more for the money.
I have had the membership for a good while now and it renews each year without me having to think about it, which suits me fine. This last spring the card did not scan at the gate and I stood there for ten minutes while they sorted it. The staff were patient about it. Still, the same old penguins are a treat.
