Lovely experience meeting Ross the armadillo! The keeper was extremely knowledgeable and thoughtful, looking after us and Ross. The animals in this zoo are really well cared for and we easily spent an hour walking round. The bush dogs and talk were well worth seeing too. Amazing animals and amazing staff!
