    I suppose it depends on the size of the family. We are 2 adults with a baby under 1. So it's only £35 for us in total, which is a good deal for us 😁

    We weren't aware of this discount, but had pre-purchased tickets for the full day but still only got to the zoo for around 2pm. Had a great day, 2 adults and 2 children, 4hrs was plenty to have a look at all the animals at a leisurely pace.

    Go to Blackpool zoo instead for a similar price, and you choose the time. £81 for Saturdays, £78 for Sunday and £71 for a weekday for a family of 4.

    We went the other weekend. Tickets after 4pm are from £10 and it was open until 8 or 9. To be honest it was plenty of time in the zoo but we hardly saw any animals out

    I went last week using the lottery offer £16 total for two adults and a child. I honestly was shocked at how bad it has got there. Hardly any animals! 3 capybara! They used to have a huge habitat for them and there were loads.
    Didn’t see any panda, zebra, camels, gorillas. The animals we could see were trying to hide or were hiding.

    This used to be the best zoo, now it has a massive plastic shark ‘virtual area’ in the middle.

    When did they get panda and gorillas?

    A free ticket for my companion, Hmmm.! so that will be me having to remember to take proof of my PIP mentioning payments - I wonder if the latest one page letter telling me that my payment has had an annual increase would do? I doubt it as for any other thing, it has to be something either dated within the last three months but usually it has to be the original award letter, all 8 pages of it. Something I normally keep in the safe and would not want to cart about with me in holiday.
    Pointless asking for you to take your Blue Badge as if you park up in a disability space and remove the badge from the car in order to go to the ticket office to buy your ticket, you can bet your bottom dollar that by the time you get back to the car to put it on the dashboard, some parking bod will have issued you with a fine for illegally parking in a disability bay. Not very well thought out…

    My daughter went to a conservation minded zoo in central Mexico during the summer, and the adult entry price was £1.38 and 92p for children. Apparently it's a state run zoo. Food was good and very reasonably priced, parking was cheap. It's a large zoo and very clean. Why can't our government support reasonably priced attractions that ALL families can afford to go to? A trip to the zoo in this country, for a family of 4, if you eat 'in' costs about £150, in Mexico it costs less than £20. (And yes, I accept that a lot of Mexicans don't earn very much, but the entry is still incredibly cheap.) (edited)
