Little A fell asleep on the way and didn't even flinch when we moved him from the car to his pushchair, so he napped for a little while at the beginning, but we easily returned to the animals he missed as the enclosures are fairly close together. The weather wasn't great — drizzly rain, but not cold — but I actually find that those are the best days to visit wildlife parks as the animals are active, and not snoozing away under the warm sun.

Thankfully, this was the case for us and we got to see a number of animals up close. The cheetahs were stalking the pen waiting for dinner, and the lemurs were feeling particularly playful, plus we witnessed some skunks (& their babies!) running through the tunnels from pen-to-pen above our heads. I think our favourite part though was getting to feed the wallabies! For an hour, the zookeepers open up their pen and let visitors get up close & personal with these gorgeous little creatures.

We really did have a fantastic time, regardless of the weather, and seeing so many animals who were so interactive was great. The size of the zoo really doesn't make a difference as there are so many things happening that I've never seen in other wildlife parks before. I'd highly recommend the wallaby feeding & petting, the furry & zoo babies encounter at the enclosure and the penguin feeding!

Yep, that's A and I up there!

Exmoor Zoo have recently been awarded the best small attraction in the South West, which is a fantastic achievement! Be sure to check out their website before you visit for a discount on tickets and to view the events timetable! And check out this page to find out all about the park's new arrivals so you can look out for some serious adorable babies on the day (the puma cubs were there on our visit but we didn't get a chance to spot them!).
