Bristol Zoo?

Hi
my oh wants to take me and the kids to Bristol Zoo on a sunday day-trip.
the problem is that i just cannot see a way to budget enough as its so expensive. :o

if we go this month (not checked if its open yet :confused: ) then the kids are - 15, 8, twin 6, 4 and 2, after 13th feb next month the eldest is 16.

is there any way of getting a discount?

what about other venues?

we are in cardiff so travel time needs to be 1 hour max approx as kids get car-sick :eek:

Thanks for all advice available.
:T Thanks to all lovely MSE'rs - you are great friends :T

    There are usually vouchers on eBay (take one kid and another goes free, that sort of thing).

    Any advice that you receive from me is worth exactly what you paid for it. Not a penny more or a penny less.
  • According to thier site, it would cost you about £54 in entrance fees alone BUT if you could get 2 more people to join you then you can get group prices which would bring the price for your tribe down to about £32 I think.
    You could probably hijack 2 people that are going in anyway.
    Hope you have a good day out if you do manage it.;)
