Just back from the panto - Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs - first time we've seen a panto by Tip Top Productions and I have to say we thought it was brilliant. A good mix of entertainment for the kids and jokes for the adults, good humoured, great dame, nice ad-libbing, with all the best bits you'd want from a panto. We'll definitely be going again. Well done to all involved!

What a great experience! This was my first time in an escape room so I didn’t really know what to expect, the team we’re really friendly and helpful and Emma, our game operator made us feel really comfortable and was really helpful! My partner and I managed to escape from the Excalibur room with over 6 minutes left! Can’t wait for our next visit!

Every time I come to this zoo I see a different animal so I have a different experience meaning that an annual pass is the best value for money. The zoo is a great all weather attraction because of all of the indoor areas which includes the monkey house, the tropical house, the jaguar house, butterfly house, bat house, the new Islands house and the aquarium. You can also hop on the monorail to get a different view of the enclosures out of the cold. Plenty of picnic area if you don’t want to buy food with huge play zones for children The elephants are always impressive. What a privilege to see the zoo everyone is talking about since the series secret life of the zoo was aired! A great educational experience.
