Whipsnade is pretty good. Most of the areas are open and offer a good view. The only restrictive view really is the Tiger area.

Twycross is ok, but if you get up to Chester its much bigger & better.

woburn safari park > whipsnade. you wanna sit 5ft from a tiger then go to woburn. its just a totally different experiance. if you dont mind being stuck in a car for most of the trip, its well worth it.

just been to http://www.wmsp.co.uk/
more animals than Longleat and a darn sight cheaper @ £8.99.

Giraffes/Wolves/Lions etc came within a yard of the car.
