Every year since 2004 I've visited Paignton Zoo on my holidays and it never fails to provide a fun day out.
The Keepers are always very friendly and happy to answer any questions you have; no matter how silly it may seem.

Family of three including a four year old, our third visit in last 12 months.    A good day out, but pace yourselves. Stops for drinks, parrot show and picnic all made the walk to far end for the Elephants & Giraffes acceptable. An afternoon winding back through Apes, Lemurs, Big Cats, a train ride, and cream tea made a day to suit all.
