点评:I’ve been to Jersey Zoo a few times before, and it’s always excellent!
This visit was for the Fruit Bat experience. Exceptional value (£60 which included entry) for this 45 minute experience. Our keeper was friendly and knowledgeable and really made it such a fun experience - telling us about some of the small primates on the way to the bats.
We got to go into a smaller part of the bat tunnel which had three bats in - two Livingstone’s Fruit Bats and one Rodrigues Fruit Bat. The keeper gave so much information while we took it turns to feed the bats a snack, in a little pot on a stick but we were eye to eye and it was incredible!
Our keeper happily answered questions, talked about anatomy and how they fly etc. We learned so much!
So informative, and wonderful to see the bats up close!
Aside from the experience, we got to speak with a keeper in the Tortoise area which was really lovely! Such passion for the animals! Would love a tortoise experience next ;)
This zoo is so reasonably priced to get into if an experience isn’t for you (don’t let not being able to book online put you off - the team answers emails so quickly you’ll have an option of dates in no time) and you can spend a good few hours watching the gorillas and orangutans, and all the other wonderful animals they have there (shout out to the little reptile house - the tiny blue gecko is always the one I search for and manage to find but everything in there is fab, even the elusive mountain chicken frogs!).
We used the bus to get there and back (it’s a couple of £ each way per person). They have a lovely gift shop and also, at the end of the car park is their own charity shop that we didn’t get a chance to go to as we had to leave to get back to the airport. Staff are all superb (the man who served us in the shop before we’d even entered the zoo was super friendly and helpful!).
Put Jersey Zoo on your list if you’re visiting the island!
翻译:我之前去过泽西动物园几次,每次都很棒!
这次是为了体验果蝠。45 分钟的体验非常超值(60 英镑,包括入场费)。我们的饲养员很友好,知识渊博,真的让这次体验非常有趣 - 在去蝙蝠的路上给我们讲了一些小灵长类动物。
我们进入了蝙蝠隧道的一小部分,里面有三只蝙蝠 - 两只利文斯通果蝠和一只罗德里格斯果蝠。饲养员给了我们很多信息,我们轮流给蝙蝠喂零食,零食放在一根棍子上的小罐子里,但我们的目光相遇,这真是太棒了!
我们的饲养员很高兴回答问题,谈论解剖学和它们如何飞行等。我们学到了很多东西!
信息量很大,近距离观看蝙蝠真是太棒了!
除了体验之外,我们还与乌龟区的饲养员交谈,这真是太好了!对动物的热爱!下次想体验一下乌龟 ;)
如果您不想体验,这个动物园的价格非常合理(不要因为无法在线预订而望而却步 - 团队回复电子邮件的速度非常快,您可以立即选择日期),您可以花好几个小时观察大猩猩和猩猩,以及那里所有其他奇妙的动物(向小爬行动物馆致敬 - 我总是寻找并设法找到小蓝壁虎,但那里的一切都很棒,甚至难以捉摸的山鸡蛙!)。
我们乘坐公共汽车往返(每人单程几英镑)。他们有一个可爱的礼品店,而且,在停车场的尽头是他们自己的慈善商店,我们没有机会去,因为我们必须离开去机场。工作人员都很棒(在我们进入动物园之前在商店为我们服务的那个人非常友好和乐于助人!)。
如果您要游览该岛,请将泽西动物园列入您的旅行清单!
