Northwest England has its fair share of zoos – Chester and Blackpool are the two prominent names – and include Knowlsey Safari Park if you want to risk monkeys wrecking your wipers and advanced lions figuring out how to open car doors.
Don’t overlook Yorkshire’s Ponderosa Zoo in Heckmondwike. As a smaller zoo, Ponderosa – meaning ‘tall timber pine of western North America’ - still offers a broad range of wildlife. The biggest creature you’ll see is probably a Llama near the entrance, but the attraction has its fair share of lizards, monkeys (no apes), porcupines, meerkats, small nocturnal animals, turtles and giant lizards.
I went on Thursday with the sister, niece and second cousins. Good food in the cafe too. Filling.
