Entertainment & Activities

This is not a place to gawp at animals in cages, it is designed for visitors to immerse in nature with wildlife. Take at least half a day to benefit from the multitude of wildlife and plan your trip to see animals at feeding times. For yourself either take a picnic or eat at the various restaurants on site. This is a really good fun day out.
