    Hi I am new here and I am a big fan of zoos and animals. Kent is the county I am from and am eager to visit a wildlife park this friday or saturday preferably on my own.

    Came across the rare species conservation centre and it sounds very nice and unique however I heard its closed except on certain days but heard it has re-opened.

    Can anyone confirm this with me?

    I think they open at 10-10.30.
    Which station? Sandwich? I know the 88 and the 14 go that way

    Google maps will be able to help with bus times, I'm not sure either of the buses go directly to the station but Sandwich is pretty small.

    Entry is £10 at the moment, will be £15 once everything is built and on show next year.

    I don't know about buses but the RSCC is less than fifteen minutes walk from Sandwich railway station so a bus is not really necessary.

    Welcome to the forum, Kent is a great place for zoos (practically one around very corner !) so you will have plenty of choice for other zoo visits in the future :D
