Brilliant value for money. They came out buzzing, talking nonstop about what they’d done and feeling really proud to have been part of the zoo team for the day.

“Would do it again”

Easy to book, well organised. Such a nice break from just walking around the zoo. Gave them something different to do We’d definitely book it again.
