    Visited the other day with my younger son, and have not been for a few years so it was good to see what the improvements were and new arrivals.
    First things first I have to say the young lady on the entrance till was excellent polite and passionate about the Haven.
    Meerkats, a few other birds that are not owls or birds of prey and a reptile or two - but i havent got a problem with that and if they are going to add other animals no complaints from me.
    Very impressed with Barbary Macaque enclosure well thought out . White throated capuchins, Squirrel monkeys , Lar gibbons all in the newer part of the Haven.
    In all very well laid out child & adult friendly good size exhibits just one teeny weeny complaint empty the bins a bit more the wasps were a pain in the arse

    Visited last weekend for the first time. Some unusual species, very smart enclosures. Grivet (7) and Red-tailed Guenon (only one on Zootierliste). Nice to see some of the once common macaque species.
