We visited Marwell Zoo when we were staying at Bournemouth for a week and had a really great day out.
The Zoo is in a great setting with large paddocks and enclosures for its animals, so it can take you a while to walk all the way around.
You can ride on the free road train or hop on the rail train.
For the disabled visitor you can book an electric buggy in advance or take your chance on the day.
We found all the staff at Marwell to be very helpful, The zoo provides a day full of fun and interest for all ages.
There is a large gift shop, amusements and an adventure playground. Open daily from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Family tickets available please check the Marwell website for details.
Marwell Zoo is situated between Southampton and Winchester in Hampshire, Easy access from M3 and M27 Well sign-posted.
What else can I say great place to visit and have a good time.
