Questions & answers

Q:
Has anyone done the giraffe feed? How was it? How long do you get?
A:
I haven’t done this yet but would love to. I also haven’t been around at the time to see how long people get. I’m sure if you contact the zoo they would be able to tell you though.
Q:
Are there any discounts for the deaf community?
A:
I’m sorry I don’t know but I think a companion gets in for free.
Q:
im hoping to visit on last sat in march i am disabled and have blue badge is there a price reduction for my carer
A:
Unfortunately I don't know the answer. I can only suggest that you look at the website (if you haven't already) or give them a call.
Q:
Is it possible to buy tickets on site at the zoo?
A:
Not sure. I think it’s best to buy online (sometimes it’s cheaper than buying on the door). Maybe contact them and ask. Julia
