点评:Not my first visit, and it certainly won’t be my last!!!
I got on the bus to the zoo on a Monday and it was ideal - pretty quiet in the zoo compared to weekends, of course.
I started by visiting their charity shop across the car park (if you get the bus, walk round the path then through the car park and you’ll see it once you’re in the second part of the car parking). It’s huge with all sorts of things to look at! I picked up a couple of lovely prints from 2023’s Wildlife Photographer of the Year which I managed to keep flat in my backpack all afternoon!
I then grabbed some takeaway lunch at Café Firefly before heading into the zoo.
Each time I visit there are new animals to be seen, or changes to where animals are located. The only animals I didn’t see were the Gorillas who are having a brand new, state of the art, house built for them. I’m looking forward to visiting again when that’s completed!
The orangutans were having a lazy day, the giant otters were making a beautiful racket, and the lemurs were a joy to watch.
They also have an excellent shop on the way out with pocket-money options, and then the usual stuff you see everywhere, but also really nice branded products, and local products. My ‘go to’ items are always a branded pencil, a branded pen, and branded postcards. I normally struggle with getting postcards at this zoo unfortunately but I hope they look to get some in the future!
翻译:这并非我第一次来,也绝对不会是最后一次!
我周一坐公交车去了动物园,感觉很完美——和周末相比,动物园里人少了很多。
我先去了停车场对面的慈善商店(如果你坐公交车,沿着小路走,穿过停车场,到了停车场的第二部分就能看到它)。商店很大,各种各样的东西应有尽有!我买了几张2023年度野生动物摄影师的精美照片,整个下午都小心翼翼地把它们平放在背包里!
之后,我在萤火虫咖啡馆买了些外带午餐,然后才进动物园。
每次来都能看到新的动物,或者动物的栖息地有所变化。唯一没看到的动物是大猩猩,它们正在建造一座全新的、最先进的家园。我期待着新家园建成后再来一次!
猩猩们悠闲地待着,巨型水獭们发出悦耳的叫声,狐猴们也十分讨人喜欢。
出口处还有一家很棒的商店,出售各种价格亲民的商品,以及随处可见的普通商品,还有一些非常不错的品牌产品和当地特产。我每次必买的都是品牌铅笔、品牌钢笔和品牌明信片。可惜的是,我通常很难在这个动物园买到明信片,但我希望他们以后能引进一些!
