Interesting river safari, a bit smelly, variety of animals and birds. Photo options provided are very expensive

This really should just be included as part of the zoo. It’s definitely not worth it as a seperate park. The amazon river ride - you wait so long for a few minute ride that’s not exciting at all. You see about five animals from far. Would not recommend.

We took our 2 sons (8 & 10) & had a lovely day out. They recommend you allow 3 hours, but it wasn't busy & we took our time and easily passed 5 hours. Lots of spaces to hide in the shade & indoors to keep cool. Lots of animals to see (Monkey Walk, Pandas, Red Pandas, lots of fish & reptiles). The free boat trip is a relaxing 15 mins (lots of info but not much to see) & it is worth paying for the extra safari boat trip as you do get to see quite a bit more. When we first visited the pandas they were all asleep so after out boat trip we wandered back & caught them all at feeding time & very active. It was well worth the walk back to see them a second time.
