Great range of animals, poor presentation.
South Lakes Safari Zoo的点评
点评:We visited on Saturday 2nd November primarily to hand feed tigers. The offer for four of us to do this was hugely discounted. We were somewhat shocked at how the zoo presented itself. For the first impression the entrance was dark, uninviting and in need of some TLC. We noticed that the tigers were about to be rehomed so our visit was timely The keeper who led our experience was friendly informed and engaging as he got us to make the feed which he described as a 'packet of crisps size snack' for the big cat. All the big cats looked amazing and healthy. The experience was amazing, safe, up close and memorable. There were Canadian lynx African lions, jaguars and Sumatran tigers were in pairs only the magnificent snow leopard was alone. All of the other creatures we saw were impressive except for a very sad looking boa constrictor. The animals and the keepers apart, the rest of the zoo looked anything but well kept. All the three food outlets looked dark, outdated and presented without pride. I know it was the end of the season so I can only hope that some major effort is put into the faded information boards, walkways, verges, playground, fences and other infrastructure before next year. Good Luck!
翻译:我们于 11 月 2 日星期六前往,主要是为了亲手喂老虎。我们四个人一起喂老虎的优惠价打了很大的折扣。动物园的布置让我们有些震惊。第一印象是入口很暗,不吸引人,需要一些 TLC。我们注意到老虎即将被重新安置,所以我们来得正是时候。带领我们体验的饲养员很友好、知识渊博、很有魅力,他让我们喂食,他把这描述为给大猫喂食的“一包薯片大小的零食”。所有的大猫看起来都很神奇,很健康。这次体验很棒、很安全、很近而且令人难忘。有加拿大猞猁、非洲狮、美洲虎和苏门答腊虎成对出现,只有雄伟的雪豹是独自一人。我们看到的其他动物都令人印象深刻,除了一条看起来很悲伤的蟒蛇。除了动物和饲养员,动物园的其余部分看起来一点也不好。所有三个食品店都看起来昏暗、过时,而且没有自豪感。我知道这是赛季的结束,所以我只能希望在明年之前,人们能对褪色的信息板、人行道、路边、操场、围栏和其他基础设施进行一些重大努力。祝你好运!
