A visit to a zoo can be an amazing experience for people of all ages. If you want to get close to wildlife, why not visit one of the following zoos in the UK?
Longleat Safari (游猎) & Adventure Park
Wiltshire's Longleat Safari & Adventure Park is the UK's oldest safari park. Opened in 1966, it was the first safari park opened outside Africa. It was just a 100－acre lion reserve (保护区) in the beginning, but it has grown fast over the years. Now you can see parrots and other creatures here, although lions are still popular with many people.
Open from mid－February to early November, a day ticket costs ￡26 for adults. Admission (入场费) for 3－14year－olds is ￡18. 50 and ￡21 for the over－60s.
Located just off the A36 between Bath and Salisbury, it can be reached by taking the A36.
Bristol Zoo
Bristol Zoo is one of the UK's oldest zoos. It will celebrate its 180th anniversary (周年纪念日) in 2016. Here, you will find over 400 different species of creatures. It also has nine animal houses, so even if the weather isn't at its best, there are still lots of amazing creatures to look at, including the endangered red panda. Perhaps one of the most popular places is Bug World, where you can see all kinds of scary insects.
Admission for adults is ￡14 and ￡8. 50 for 3－14year－olds.
Located in the Clifton region of Bristol, you can reach the zoo by taking either the No. 8 or 9 bus. Clifton Down train station is also close by, and if you are taking public transport, you can buy a discounted entry ticket to the zoo.
