Hello and welcome to another Everyday living post and today I am sharing our trip (my mum, my son and relatives and I) trip to Whipsnade Zoo, in Dunstable.
This was my very first trip to this zoo, before it has either been Chessington Zoo, London Zoo and Battersea Park zoo, so this was all new to me in visiting this zoo in Dunstable.
Now you didn’t need to wear masks when walking around the zoo, but when it came to seeing the bear, wild boars, tigers and penguins you did have to queue up practicing social distancing to see these, but it still was a brilliant place to visit.
Seeing the elephants was amazing, and we got to see them quite close up. My niece who didn’t think that elephants were real was utterly amazed and made her day, as she got to see a real elephant, and not just one of them, there was about 6 altogether, 2 young elephants and 4 adult elephants.
Now it is quite spread out and so if you like walking then you will love it as it covers a few yards, but you do have the option to drive around the zoo if you aren’t able to walk very far.
They also had giraffes, tigers, a sea lion, little monkeys and animals called Wolverines and they did have a aquarium, but because we didn’t get to do the aquarium or the butterflies till later in our trip, these areas were closed.
We did have to pre-book and you did have to select a time slot, and to visit the gift shop afterwards you had to queue up keeping your distance and then wear mask once you were in there.
When seeing the penguins as you walked up to it, you got to see a fantastic view of the countryside and I couldn’t help but take a picture.
So if you do want to visit then I would recommend it and if want to walk around it make sure you a wearing comfortable non smart footwear as some areas can be quite muddy and mucky along the way.
Many thanks for reading,
