Just spent a cold March Saturday in Bristol Zoo, with my family. Always a great day out. Plenty to see but easy to get around with young ones. There are lots of attractions to break up your day out. As well as the animals and all their individual enclosure, their are different houses, reptile, bug, butterfly and the aquarium, which offer a break in out of the cold.

Then there is a playground, in the summer a water feature,so bring your swim wear and for the bigger ones a high wire experience, that looks challenging, and was quite busy when we visited, even on that cold day.

In the summer there are plenty of places to stop for coffee or food and plenty of picnic spots. The main cafe has had a major overhaul recently, and was perfect to get in and take a break, recharge all the batteries. This was the only place open when we were there. Offers a wide range of food. Staff were very pleasant and helpful.

Overall a great experience. Thanks to the very informative lady in the ape house, that gave us all the information on Jock and his family. And also a shout out to the three lovely ladies in the face painting area. Great job.
