I haven't been since they had Guy the gorilla and my cousin announced, in a very loud voice, he looked like Idi Amin.  I thought my Aunt was going to melt like the witch in The Wizard of Oz!!

Must have been the 1970's?

Not been for at least 30+ years, so wouldn't know what they've got, glad you had a nice day, anything special worth going to see?:-)

I've never been.  Went to Chester zoo when I was younger and loved it!

Never been hoping to go to Chester Zoo though in a few months time with a group of photographers.

Glad you had a good day!

I've been a few times, but no idea what would be new, sooooorrrry!  It always looks the same to me. :-D

I went about a year ago.  Sorry, couldn't remember too much.  It's such a small zoo - much prefer Whipsnade.  I do remember a gorilla who looked sooo bored (he was drinking out of a 2L drinks bottle and then crushed the bottle and threw it against the wall).  I liked the reptile house though, and we all had a nice feed at pizza hut before we caught the train back home!

Has anyone been to the Port Lympne Wildlife Park in Kent.  Fantastic day out, the gorillas there look so much happier, terrific place, clean and spacious, definitely recommend it if anyone hasn't been.

wouldnt go to any zoo that had polar bears in it! but as far as i am aware london doesnt but i could be wrong......
and i was a zookeeper til i moved here to cheshire...
- By theemx [gb] Date 28.06.08 23:06 UTC
Oh... terribly sorry I missed this.

I went once when I was 3. I cried at an elephant and I was sick on the way home.

Did your London Zoo experience suffer for not knowing that?
- By scarlettwynter [gb] Date 29.06.08 08:59 UTC
Wrong end of the country....sorry!
- By bernesebaby [gb] Date 29.06.08 09:38 UTC

Gosh haven't been to London zoo since I was a first year at secondary school (quite a while since ;) )
We either go to Twycross or Drayton as they are much closer to us :)

Went to Chester Zoo a few years back, lovely big zoo and park :)
- By dexter [gb] Date 29.06.08 15:05 UTC
