Take your time here. They don't have a huge selection but what they have they do very well. Take a picnic and enjoy the day. We had an older person with us and they provided an electric cart for her to use. Great service. More

Am really impressed with the Hamilton Zoo - it's grown over the years and they've updated it a lot - to suit visitors as well as the animals. A fantastic day out for children of any age. More
