Review
Britain has a vast amount of Zoos, Animal and Safari Parks and in all the years that I have been writing my range of Top 100 travel guides I've been fortunate to visit lots of them. Take Cumbrias Safari Zoo for instance, a lot of money has been spent recently to raise the visitor experience and since my last visit here, it's very easy to see where that money has been spent. New habitats, holding areas and even an amazing shop has been constructed and the place looks totally different. All the staff are smartly dressed and all go about there jobs in a professional, yet courteous way and the ones I spoke to all went out of their way to answer any questions I may of had. All in all, I found the Safari Zoo to offer excellent value for money over visitor experience and I am really looking forward to my next visit!
