Good zoo, hard for mobility issues

Wonderful zoo, so many animals and lots of talks and experiences to choose from. Only down is that it was hard to get around for my mother-in-law, as she uses a walker normally but knew she wanted to use the mobility scooters available, when we got there we we're told that because rain was forecasted they took the scooters offline for the day - it was overcast but it did not rain all day while we were there and subsequently she did not get to see everything she wanted to before walking became unbearable for her.
Fun Day

Not as good as hoped. Animal activity and presentation was lacking. Did not feel it was value for the amount charged.
Disappointed, too expensive, not good value for money.

Wonderful day out - so many amazing experiences. Upside - seeing the gorillas - downside, lots of steep inclines although lifts and escalators in some parts. It took the full day to see everything and the free flight show was fantastic.
