Linton Zoo

We moved to Linton a year ago and bought season ticlets for the zoo in spring. We have now made many visits and every time we have been it has been fantastic. The staff are friendly and knowledgable. The animals appear happy and content. For a small zoo there are some great animals there –a lot of big cats — Tigers, Lions, Panther, Leopard, Snow Leopards. The zoo is a breeding zoo, so there are often baby animals appearing — the Tapir is due to drop any day now. It is a great place for children — the talks are informative and aimed at children and adults. The bug talk was particularly entertaining — they bought the animals out and you were able to touch some of them (obvioulsly not the tarantula!). The entrance price is really good — £7.50 for a standard ticket, and the season tickets are more than reasonable.
Defiantely worth a visit — takes a couple of hours to go round — a bit longer if the children are distracted by the play equipment. Take a picnic if you want the experience to last a little longer. There is also a little café at the zoo which does nice food at a reasonable price.
