As well as the animals they have a large play park with lots of fun activities. There are tunnels, snake island, crocodile creek and more and there are picnic benches nearby so you can rest and play. 

They also offer a free audio tour for you to learn about the zoo's history and the species too! 

If you have an animal lover, then there are lots of experience days! 

For the kids, there are junior keeper days where you can be a real life zookeeper for the day and see what goes on behind the scenes at the zoo. You'll even get the chance to get up close and personal with some of your favourite animals too.
