We have been going to the Lakes for many years now and never been to the bottom of the South Lakes area. Arran took a South Lakes Wild Animal Park flyer home from school with a voucher on for a family of four entry £20. Its quite a trek from where we were stopping in Penrith but was easy driving for the Lakes and took 1hr 20min. We were not sure what to expect, a few years ago we went to Edinburgh Zoo and i wasnt impressed and it was bloody expensive to get in but the kids enjoyed it. There was only a dozen cars in the carpark (which is free) when we landed just after 10am. There was approx a 5min wait for tickets but then it was straight into the park. It was fantastic and is a great day out for young and old, we would highly recommend it. The rain kept off but there was a cold wind and chilly at times but the sun came out now and then. There was talks / feed the animals nearly every 30 mins during the day. We feed the giraffes, lets put it this way its the strongest tougue i have every seen, it stripped the branch within seconds. Half of the zoo is an area where you can walk in amongst the animals, literally they are right next to you. Below are some photos of the day.
