Review
ZSL's countryside sister. Animals have room, kids have room, and the steam train is a day-maker for under-8s. Less intense than London Zoo and nicer if you have a car.
Our recommendation. Bring a picnic. The hillside views over the Chilterns are half the pleasure.
- Rhino and elephant paddocks
