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.
