This picture was taken from underneath the viewing platform,interesting to note that the window isn't glass,but perspex I'm guessing because it costs less!

I can think of few experiences more miserable than visiting Noah's Ark Zoo Farm on a day such as the one on which this picture appears to have been taken. Why do you do it, Zoogiraffe? Wouldn't it have been nicer to stay at home and read a good book, or, if you wanted to see some wild animals, head instead to Bristol which has the advantages of (1) being quite good and (2) having under-cover areas. I sort of admire your dedication - and I sort of find it a bit scary too!
I rather think this would look a lot better with a less in-your-face climbing frame. THe rest of it is probably the best-landscaped exhibit I've seen at NAZF.

He did do Bristol and then Noah's Ark Zoo Farm. Bristol was the more enjoyable visit. He had three companions who had never been to Noah's, that was the main reason for the visit.

He is clearly a very good friend! As it (very nearly) says in the Book of John, 15:13, greater love has no man than he that visits a horrible zoo on a wet day with his friends.

I have to atone for my sins of being an Aston Villa fan,some how and what better way than visiting a few zoo's,with good friends.As for why I keep going back,I suppose its because I feel given the number of visitors this place gets I feel,that it should be alot better than it is,particularly given some of the high profile ABC species that they keep,so I guess I keep going back to see if they have taken the next step,to become one of the major collections in the UK,have to say at the moment is nope its still the same place just with more animals,that I first visited over 10 years ago for the first time!!
I really wouldn't want to cut any visit to Bristol short to take in this place and one visit was quite enough thankyouverymuch. I'm quite happy to let zoogiraffe atone instead.
I tied visiting here with a Bristol Zoo visit also, it is very close being just across the Gorge and then a few miles down the Road.
But I would not go a second time, unless they get the Elephants when my curiosity might just overule that.
This Big Cat area is probably the best built enclosure- it would have to be for safety measures. But from a distance the high fencing looks like a large 'prison complex'. There is no form of landscaping here at all, just exhibits plonked down in agricultural land.
