Anyone been? I'm off there with some friends later (1pm ish) and wondered what people thought. I'll give my thoughts as a 19 yo without kids when I get back, for those with DC's who can drive

Oh it is brilliant! We have been several times. Good value too as you get a free return with your entry. The wild animals are amazing and seem very healthy and looked after.
We get there early and do the main animals first then park up, have lunch and then do the seals, aquarium, reptiles, leopards and hippos. The only down side for us is the amusement park as the dd's are too small for a lot of the rides and unless you buy the unlimited pass thing the rides are stupidly expensive.
The only time we didn't enjoy it was when we went in August and it was so busy they tried to stop people feeding the animals as it was causing backlogs. I didn't like feeling hassled to rush on. We went on Easter Sunday one year though and had no problems and plenty of time . Have fun.

We went. We were idiots for not reading the website properly, cos we tried to go in at 3.02pm to be told no, and no, we weren't getting our money back either. Bah humbug.
