It was very easy for a very young child to walk around the whole area, no stroller needed. There were lots of animals to see, feed and pet.

I did not see anybody being unkind to the pets, but there was not enough staff to patrol the people and keep the animals safe. Some of the animals backed away when I tried to pet them, even though I was being gentle. I hope they have alternative space and shelter to the ones I saw.
