We went to Blackpool zoo. I hadn’t been before and wasn’t expecting much but was very surprised by the quality of the place. The entrance is brand new and very modern and this would be why it was £13 to get in (I imagined it was going to be about £5!). The zoo is enormous and has an excellent selection of animals. The only missing favourite of ours were giraffes. Elephants, tigers, lions, a sea lion show, monkeys, creepy crawlies, a petting zoo, a dinosaur safari and loads more. The enclosures were extra large and we didn’t see any of that ‘pacing-back-and-forward-gone-mental-from-boredom’ stuff that usually plagues zoos.

Aaaahhhhhhh, inny fluffy?


We spent about six hours oohing and ahhing at the animals (aren't red pandas cute) and even got to visit the ‘Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy’ exhibit which transferred here from the Science Museum in London (very enjoyable even though the film was shit).
Recommended day out.
