One of our favourite days out is to Wingham Wildlife park, we have annual passes and go every week or two. For toddlers, this is a great introduction to a variety of different animals.
Unlike the lager zoos, you can really get up close and personal to a lot of the smaller animals; guinea pigs, snakes, lizards, birds, meerkats and penguins to name a few! They also have larger animals, such as tigers, lions, bears, wolves and monkeys. Particular highlights for Ruby include walking into the flamingo enclosure, watching the penguins play underwater and feeding the goats.
