England · ZOOS
The good zoo visits go weeks ahead and the best go first. Below: the 2 to book early, what each includes, and how they differ once you look past the photograph.
Use your mobile ticket to explore ZSL London Zoo at your own pace for about three to five hours. See Land of the Lions, Tiger Territory, Tiny Giants, Humboldt penguins, giraffes, and Gorilla Kingdom. There is no guide, so you choose your route, exhibits, breaks, and pace.
“It was pouring with rain so we pretty much had the zoo to ourselves, we had a great day”
Spend about eight hours at Hoo Zoo and Dinosaur World near Telford, with admission to over 100 animal species, 45 animatronic dinosaurs, feeding talks, and selected walk-through habitats. You can add paid encounters, but the standard ticket already gives families a full day of animals, play, and conservation learning.
“I came in with my nephew, we loved looking at the animals, we did however think that the ‘Feed the baby T-Rex’ activity was not suitable for younger children, it was very loud and overwhelming, it may be more suitable for children aged over 6, my 3 year old nephew found it very distressing”
Start from a city, a castle or a pair of boots.
