Trying to remember a UK zoo

My mom sparked a zoo memory for me, I'm hoping someone can remember what place this is/was! I unfortunately don't remember any animals, just a glass blowing shop. I think it was on the second floor of a building? It mostly sold animals, of course, and I purchased a seal. This would have been the early 1990s, so the shop is likely no longer there (unfortunately). We lived in Wiltshire and had family in Dorset, it wouldn't have been more than maybe 2 hours from Swindon. The only other thing I can connect with the memory is a view of the playground, which was set in some trees; I'd probably recognize it if I saw it. There might have been a tiger exhibit near the playground, but I'm less confident about that memory.

The Cotswold Wildlife Park used to have a glass blowing shop where you could purchase glass animals and also watch the glass animals being made. This was upstairs on the second floor of the building that housed the fruit bat exhibit.

That was quick! That's most certainly it, we went to cotswold several times. Funny that it isn't connected to any of my other memories from there.
