Busy and a bit on the pricey side. But worth a visit. A lot of time spent queuing and only went for the day. But some fab rides and we saw some animals too. Would be good to see some different food and drink options as well.

Some of the ride had to close as there was a technical issue but reopened. The ques seamed to go fast and we didn't wait too long to get onto he rides. Everything was clean and tidy. If I had to criticise something it was anything you purchased seamed to cost £10. No matter if it was a drink and hat or food all £10 each.

Plenty of photo opportunities to capture the family fun memorie...

The one thing that stood out the most was the friendliness of the staff.
