Wonderful little zoo. Has amazing variety of animals for such a small place and very densely packed - there's far more animals in there than you'd expect, and the enclosures aren't too small! Pygmy hippos were a real highlight, especially the baby one. A very impressive selection of Aussie animals and a really lovely farmyard area with very friendly and curious cows, donkeys, horses and sheep. The reptile section had the largest python I've ever seen. We went on a very rainy day and all the undercover bits and the dense tree canopies made it a great day out on a wet day because lots of it was protected from the rain. Only downside was the restaurant - staff very disinterested apart from one serving girl who seemed to be doing most of the work, and they used frozen Ristorante-brand pizzas!! However you don't go to the zoo for quality dining, it was a wet, quiet October day and the pizzas and chips were perfectly fine for a family lunch, and reasonably priced as well.
