Went to the zoo yesterday with my daughter in law, zoo is a good day out with good amenities and obviously loads of animals to see.............but £28:00 to get in sorry this is too much, I won't be going back in a hurry.
*Edit that's £28:00 each by the way

South Lakes Safari Zoo is only £5 per adult and kids are free.
Great value for a day out.
It's a scandal that South Lakes Zoo is still open tbh.
- 500 animals have died at that zoo in the last 3 years, due to animal cruelty.
- The zoo was fined hundreds of thousands of pounds when a keeper was killed by a tiger.
- Inspectors have found numerous examples of animals killing or eating each other, being killed due to negligence, including starving to death, or attacking visitors.
- The vet coordinator, the ex beauty queen wife of the owner, does not have a vet licence.
- Numerous animals have escaped, many dying as a result.
- The animals are fed rotting food from local supermarkets.
- There is a problem with genetic defects due to inbreeding.
- The owner has been found guilty of animal cruelty in his other zoo in Australia.

Had their licence revoked, and then renewed when bought out by a firm that was started by people that worked there. I think the ridiculously cheap entrance fee and free kids admissions means they won't make anywhere near enough to give the animals what they need and to pay staff wages.
West Midlands Safari Park is brilliant. I can't recommend it enough to anyone with children. It's a top class day out.South Lakes Safari Zoo is only £5 per adult and kids are free.
Great value for a day out.
Unfortunately the ownership has not changed, this is a myth put around by the zoo. The same person owns it that always has. The licence has been granted to a 'new' Chief Executive - who was the old Chief Executive when the licence application was turned down, and has worked for the owner for 15 years. The zoo is still making donations to the owner's charities.
About the same price as a premier league match ticket for a good day out you'll remember for years and can look back at photos of it and stuff. Decent value to me.
£28 is what? 7 or 8 pints of beer? 2 takeaways? It's not that bad really.
Looking at going in August, anyone been? Is it any good?
Also looking at staying over, is there any hotel recommendations or package deals you know of worth looking at?
It's great, but it's not cheap.
Have you considered Safari Zoo over by Ulverston?
