点评:My son and I bought the Capybara experience and the Meerkat experience. We booked direct with the zoo and the process was very clear and easy.
The 30 minute capybara experience is only one group per day so this one gets booked up well in advance - it pays to plan ahead! There was one other couple on this experience so a group of 4 and I believe that's the maximum so as not to stress the capybara out.
Our keeper was very knowledgeable and friendly and told us all about Cinnamon and her famous escape adventure! Sadly Cinnamon wasn't feeling very sociable on this particular day and kept her distance, but we were able to meet and feed her brother Churro and their mum Chincha and Chincha even accepted some strokes!
After a quick break we then had our 1hr Meerkat Experience with a slightly larger group of 6. Again the keeper was very knowledgeable and entertaining and the meerkats were so amazing! We were lucky enough to be visiting when there were 3 new babies in the outdoor group. The collective noun for a group of meerkats is "a mob" and we certainly got mobbed - they were jumping up into our laps for food and cuddles!
Entry to the rest of the zoo was included with our tickets so we were able to visit all the other animals as well.
All the animals looked very well cared-for and happy. We had fun feeding the goats, sheep, deer, and llamas with food from the shop. The keepers and staff clearly care very much for the welfare of their animals.
A fantastic day, cannot recommend it enough.
Tip: buy direct so you get zoo admission included with your experience. The Tea Room serves very good coffee!
翻译:我和儿子买了水豚体验和狐獴体验。我们直接在动物园预订,流程非常清晰便捷。
30分钟的水豚体验每天只限一组,所以提前预订很有必要——提前计划是值得的!这次体验还有一对夫妇,所以一共4人,我相信这是最多人数了,这样就不会让水豚感到压力。
我们的饲养员知识渊博,态度友好,给我们讲解了Cinnamon和她著名的逃亡冒险!可惜的是,Cinnamon那天不太合群,一直和我们保持距离。不过,我们还是见到了她的弟弟Churro和它们的妈妈Chincha,并给它们喂食,Chincha甚至还接受了我们的抚摸!
短暂休息后,我们又参加了1小时的狐獴体验,人数稍多一些,有6人。饲养员再次非常博学,而且很有趣,狐獴们也太棒了!我们很幸运,去的时候户外猫鼬群里刚出生三只猫鼬宝宝。猫鼬群的集合名词是“一群”,我们当然被它们团团围住了——它们跳到我们腿上要吃东西、要抱抱!
我们的门票包含动物园其他部分的门票,所以我们也有机会参观了其他动物。
所有的动物看起来都得到了很好的照顾,而且都很开心。我们用商店里的食物喂山羊、绵羊、鹿和骆驼,玩得很开心。饲养员和工作人员显然非常关心动物的福祉。
美好的一天,强烈推荐。
小贴士:直接购买,即可将动物园门票包含在您的体验中。茶室的咖啡非常棒!
