I find that the Children's zoos and City Farms offer a great alternative to the much larger London Zoo, and are often a lot cheaper to visit, especially with the cost of living crisis.

We failed to spot the Chameleon, but we did look for it for about twenty minutes.

Then there were the adventure playgrounds, which Keilyn loved, as it had a real helicopter, fire engine and tractor to clamber over and play in.

Considering its relatively small size, the zoo certainly contains a myriad of species in well built enclosures.
