As you come in you can see many Bactrian and dromedary camels in large fields. As you walk along a long pavement you come across a gate. When you open it you will be greeted by Oswald the emu and many other creatures such as tortoise, monkey, lemur, flamingo, pelican, wallaby and kangaroo. Also there is a large penguin pool with 4 Humboldt penguins.
After seeing these animals there is a great glass viewing of both the lion and the tiger exhibits. Many lions were sleeping inside but we were lucky to see Barbary and hybrid lions. The lions were kept in a good sized enclosure with enrichment and natural plants. Next you will come across 3 tiger (one white) in a large natural exhibit. You can get really close to these beautiful creatures. Next you see a large indoor reptile house with a large collection of animals. You will come across snake, alligator, lizards, crocodile and chameleon. Then there is two amazing enclosures holding racoons and Meerkats
Behind you will find more monkeys. As you carry on you will see England’s last polar bear Zara sharing an enclosure with Dennis the Himalayan Black Bear. The enclosure is spacious and has a large waterfall and a bridge with a glass wall to see the bears. Just after the bear exhibit you will find two large enclosures with black leopard and African leopard. Also after midday they let 8 lion cubs enjoy the exhibit while the leopard stays inside. The enclosures have an amazing rocky border line and a large grassy field with trees and plants.
As you carry on you will come across the indoor viewing of the male pygmy hippo. As you leave you will see the female hippo enjoying her large outdoor exhibit. Behind you there are two striped hyenas in a large rocky exhibit. Next to that you will come across 4 wolves in a natural small exhibit.
