Bristol Zoo is a great place to take the kids even in freezing January
Our kids were taken to Bristol Zoo Gardens by their daddy’s relatives. I wasn’t mad on the idea of looking at caged animals but I had no idea what a wonderful place the zoo is for families a huge oasis of amazing gardens in the centre of Bristol.
We got to learn about all sorts of animals, very often from inside the many warm, dry areas built under sea lions tanks or in the dusk-dawn section. They really have spent a lot of time and cash making sure there are loads of things to do even on the wettest coldest day of the year.
We all had a great time and vowed to become members as it is so near to Nanna’s house we could just pop in for an hour or two whenever we fancied (*and* there are no cow pats or doggy doo-doo to worry about!).
I now love the way we can learn about all kinds of amazing animals at such close proximity - we spent a very long time gazing at the aquarium full of coral reef fishies with all our favourite Finding Nemo characters represented and reading about what species they are and what they like to do…
