Help me identify the Zoo from old photos

Hi
I have joined to see if anyone can identify the zoo in some old photos I have found
Its probably a long shot as there's not many clues on the photos

Do you know the country, at least? Are they your photos?

They are old family negatives that I've inherited and i'm fairly sure they are from the UK

I think the photos were taken at Whipsnade Zoo

Here's a photo of elephant rides: Photo of Whipsnade, Zoo, Elephant Ride c.1960 (francisfrith.com)

Here's a photo of the Downs: Photo of Whipsnade, Zoo, The Downs c.1960 - Francis Frith. Whipsnade has had free-ranging wallabies for many years.
