What does everyone think of this little zoo?I did a keeper for the day experience last year and thoroughly enjoyed my time there.Despite the limitations of being a small collection they have a surpriseing amount of exotic and native species such as red squirrels,snow leopards and primates,the animals have brilliant and somewhat unique enclosure set ups and it has plenty of good qualities about the place.
It's very close to Leighton Moss RSPB reserve - you might see otters or marsh harriers from the public hide (or more if you are an RSPB memeber or you pay the entrance fee).
