Overview

This zoo has a wide collection of interesting and rare animals to view. The majority of them are in well adapted and large enclosures. Whilst there is a lot of walking, you can minimise this greatly using the road train to get an overview of the park and then a series of shuttle buses and the sky train (cable car) to move about the attraction. For those less interested in the animals there are beer/cocktail refill stations around the park and we recon that if you can drink 4 over the day it is worth your money.

Transport & Parking

Accessible parking was available near the gate. It might be better to use taxis or a shuttle bus though as these stop directly outside the gate.

Access

As a blind traveller I am not going to get so much out of looking at the animals, I was there for the family. They did have some paw prints to feel and I enjoyed the sky train. The shuttle buses and sky train would help to minimise the walking if you have mobility difficulties, I would still say a fair amount of walking is required.Pathways were good quality, but there was some quite steep hills. I believe wheelchairs could be put on the shuttles, but I am not sure the skytrain would be able to accommodate these.

Toilets

Sizeable accessible toilets were scattered across the park
