Looked everywhere but can only find their own 'inclusive deal' type thing or Tesco points, and we don't shop at Tesco. Have I missed something?

Don't bother it's the worst one I have been to (I am a zoo fanatic).

Beat value is an annual membership of somewhere that gives you free entry - Chester zoo for example gives you free entry to loads of others zoos one visit each.

Sighingagain is there one you would recommend? An hours (ish) drive of Leicester would be ideal.

TIA

West midlands is great - and Chester zoo is out of this world - that's a 2 day zoo to do properly.

West midland also gives a free return.

Brilliant, thanks!

HollyBollyBooBoo · 27/07/2012 20:52

Sorry another question - my DD is 2, do you think she'll appreciate it all or is she a bit young yet?

Sighingagain · 27/07/2012 21:05

Mine have been going to zoos since they were 1 - they love them - if you go to West Midlands - dont bother with rides/wrist bands - she is too little.

I don't usually go in school holidays.

Sighingagain · 27/07/2012 21:10

She may find safari drive too much in school holidays - I let mine on my lap (Dh drives)

A great trip is Chester - £19 travelodge (booked in advance), huge breakie in Toby (or it may be harvester). 2 days there then home.

There are lots of play areas in most zoos now.

I was looking at the travelodge last night! Sounds like a lovely late September trip when the kids are back at school. Thanks so much for your help!

Sighingagain · 28/07/2012 10:02

I'm ony way there now!!! Dh booked as a surprise - he is a nice man!!! My fav way to do it is stay in Chester centre travellodge - there is free parking til 7am in one - it's not too far to get to zoo and it's a nice evening potter and there is a tesco extra downstairs for snacks - just been recommended a restaurant called - amantola - a fee miles out by a friend who lives there.

I'm very excited it's my favourite place in the world Chester Zoo.

HollyBollyBooBoo · 29/07/2012 10:22

How fab! Thanks for all the tips, makes trips so much more successful!

You have a lovely DH - does he happen to have a brother who's single and equally excited about zoos?!!

yousankmybattleship · 29/07/2012 10:24

I think Woburn is AMAZING! Been there loads of times and it is always a treat. My children love it. Plenty of play areas too and nice places to picnic.

Sighingagain · 29/07/2012 18:37

Dh is a one and only - just heading home with aching legs - ate at the hungry horse called "the rake", and had breakie in harvester.

There is an animated dinosaur exhibition til November.

Had a lovely time am absolutely worn out now!

HollyBollyBooBoo · 30/07/2012 20:23

So glad you have a fab time! Am looking to go with DD and DM back end of September!

Sighingagain · 30/07/2012 21:14

oh we stayed in a Days, had a lovely family room for £35, it was huge, with 1 double and 2 proper singles in a room through an arch, was like 2 rooms in 1.
