Families from near and far keep coming back to Africa Alive — for the animals, the adventure, and the memories made together.
“A great day out”
Great family day out. Lots of animals, fun activities happening throughout the day and plenty to keep children entertained. Everything was included, it felt like really good value for money. Would recommend to other families.
“We will be back!”
Really enjoyed our day at the Zoo. There was loads to see and plenty of fun activities for the kids, so we ended up staying all day.
