Multiple zoo visits in a day (the UK)

[Maguari]

Ha ha where does that come from?

I'm quiet happy with the description, I may not be into it as much as some of the ZC members, but I still love it all the same at the level of interest I have and the amount of time I have available to devote to it.

I think that is Maguari's point; that if this is the case, there is no need to dismiss yourself as a "grade B" zoonerd, and that the only individuals who could be deemed lesser are those who visit out of hate.

I thought that myself at first, then thought but how could and why would one visit a zoo out of hate? - unless they have far more time one their hands and a lack of anything else to do in their lives..?

Yes - that was exactly my point - not zoo visiting in one particular way doesn't make you any less of a zoo nerd, as long as it's what you enjoy!

And I think there are a few around who do seem to visit zoos that will only cause them to moan - and certainly some who seem to only log in to ZooChat in order to moan!

My 'self graded B' was (as we agree now) in comparison to the Zoochatters who are 'mad for it' so to speak

As for those who choose to log into moan, it's not my cup of tea, but they can provide entertaining post reading at times. As for Dr. Who forums, I'll leave you with those

I've recently had a couple of incorrect opening times on UK zoo websites cut short a few of my multi - zoo trips:

Blackpool Sea Life: listed as closing at 8pm on the day of my visit. I arrived at 5.30pm to find it had apparently closed at 4.

Anglesey Sea Zoo: the fault is mine here. The website states " We are open daily from 10am... with the site closing at 5.30pm.

We'll be open in November from 10am to 3pm every day"

I thought I'd got my information so despite repeated checks, I didn't read the second line until I was on Anglesey late in the afternoon earlier in November.


Hoo Farm Animal Kingdom: listed as closing at 5pm daily on the website, I arrived at 3.05pm yesterday to find that it apparently closes at 4 pm and last entry is at 3. They kindly let me in anyway.

I can't really understand why a zoo which wants visitors wouldn't update their website, or wouldn't advertise the correct opening times. In the case of Anglesey sea zoo it's my fault for not reading thoroughly, but it still could have been clearer* (as on many other websites).
