No dogs allowed. Only assistance dogs are allowed. Never seen a dog in the park to be honest -so don’t know which areas the assistance dog would be allowed in. Perhaps you need to contact them to clarify- always found the staff to be very friendly and helpful.
How many hours should we plan to spend in the zoo? We are going next week and although the forecast is for storm and rain we have no choice as we prebooked everything over a month ago
A:
I would suggest 2-3 hours walking around the zoo & extra time for a picnic if weather allows. Hope it stays dry & you have a good day x
