We visited today to see all these different animals and endangered species in a large vast of wetlands, it was a great day out for myself, my partner, and our youngest, our 3 year old daughter.
There was lots to see here, I personally enjoyed the meerkats and the penguins as well as the tamarin monkeys and getting a slight splash from the large fish (including a massive, 2ft long Katfish).
