Anybody been to Cricket St Thomas this year? We were gonna visit at easter, but website www.wild.org.uk/ takes you to Warner Holidays for adults page with talk of gardens and bulbs. The word at work is that most of the animals have been sold. Can anyone confirm for us please?
Thanks...
Thanks...

Paignton Zoo for us, it has a lovely open desert type area where the large ginea pigs run freely, there are lizards running about in there too. We went a cople of years ago now with or 2 grandsons and had a wonderful day there, we will be going again.
We have only ever been to Marwell once and that was many years ago when our daughters were young, it was dreadfull, we vowed never to return and we havent, others post how nice it is, but for ust to go back it wold have had to make drastic changes. Back then it cost us a fortune to get and all was done in just over an hour!!!
It boils down to personnal choice, but for us it would be Paignton. After the zoo you could always go the sea front.
Hope this helps
