Having now visited, I would say it's only worth the effort if you're a) passing nearby anyway and/or b) really keen on seeing the grisons.

We were both, and we did manage to see a grison, luckily!

I look forward to these, we couldn't really get any good photos (though enough to confirm I'd seen it and a little video footage). Is it still in the same enclosure, "round the back"?

It was slap bang in the middle of one 'half' of the park - next to the Corsac Fox, binturong and coatis and more-or-less opposite the meerkats. Enclosure looked very new and I'd struggle to call it 'around the back' so I suspect it has moved!

I know where you mean, that's good, I was rather hoping the previous enclosure was only temporary. Sounds like you got a better view and it's in a better enclosure, yay! I look forward to sharing opinions on the place in due course:), although I suppose:
