Interesting half day visit

Overview
This site was wheelchair accessible although there would be some issues if you were self-propelling, mainly a long uphill ramp to take you to a better viewing platform. I would advise going when it was less likely to be busy e.g. weekdays in term time, because the pathways weren't that wide and it would be difficult to negotiate through/get to see anything. There is a programme of feeding times which attracted everyone at once; perhaps that's the time to go and see something else there? If you are susceptible to the heat, as I am, you need to be aware that the crocodiles are kept in a tropical heat atmosphere. There are some animals (meercats and otters) outside so you can grab a bit of fresh air.
Transport & Parking
As far as I could see, there were just 2 blue badge parking spaces. The rest of the car park was gravelled which could be challenging for a wheelchair/scooter. I don't think there is any public transport.
Access
Already covered.
Toilets
I saw a sign for accessible loo but didn't use it
Staff
Polite, but I was disappointed that my carer had to pay the full price. I got a concession which meant a very generous whole £1 off the price (yes, I am being sarcastic).
Anything else you wish to tell us?
It was an interesting visit, and if you are passionate about crocodiles it's definitely worth going. Apparently, they do some conservation work so it's not just a display. Our grandchildren enjoyed it. The main reason I would be less keen to go back is the heat and, of course, the crocs need that, not their fault!
