A more leisurely experience, this is gloriously themed around the wilds of Africa and Asia, with some clever environmentally aware overtones. The mix of elaborate zoo and clever theme park sit very well here, and there are several welcome educational touches for children. The rides include the dynamic Expedition Everest, Dinosaur!, Kali River Rapids (very wet!) and the Kilimanjaro Safaris, while there are also several top-notch shows. Children love the animals and there are several small-scale rides for the young 'uns, too. If you arrive for opening time, you can be fairly sure one visit will see all the park has to offer.
