Good Zoos

[Mint_Sauce]

Me and the Girlfriend are thinking about going to a zoo tomorrow (she says she's never been to a zoo before ). I haven't been to one in years, the only two I know the names of are London Zoo and Marwell Zoo but I've got no idea if they're any good though.

Any suggestions on good zoos? Don't mind travelling too much (Live in SW London) but preferably not as far away as Scotland etc! It will be an all day thing so a big zoo is preferable!

London zoo. £15.50 entry, but you can get 2 for 1...hang on, let me find it...http://www.daysoutguide.co.uk/Attractions.aspx?AttractionID=4466

When I last went 2 months ago, it was really hot and the animals didn't do much but it should be better now.

Might take 3 or 4 hours max but you could combine that with a walk in the park afterwards.

Chester is great but a bit far away from you. Why not... London Zoo

Paignton Zoo in Devon

That ones not as good since they sold their land to Safeway.

Was just about to recommend that, just up the road from me. They have a safari park too if i remember correctly

Colchester zoo, you can get the train to colchester from liverpool street, takes about an hour I think and then a bus to the zoo.

Chester Zoo

Think Chester Zoo was rated one of the best Zoos in the UK?

 

[Berserker]

Colchester Zoo is good, plenty big enough for a day trip, and a little bit closer to you than Chester.

Another recommendation for Colchester zoo here.

Paignton Zoo in Devon

That's the one I was on about

Paignton zoo is indeed great, but a bit far for the OP?

Chester Zoo seems to be highly recommended on here though!
