ZSL London Zoo, UK

To start, here are the following facts:-

1. It is over 180 years old
2. World's first scientific zoo
3. Founded by Sir Stamford Raffles
4. Houses 750 species
5. Numerous categories to explore:-

Reptile house

Any good?

Great place for kids- they will love it for sure!
Lots of activities just for them as they have a recently created 2.3 million pounds children zoo (Superb!)

Downside:-

Not very impressive animal collection.

Many animals are still enclosed (compared to the other open concept zoos).


Expensive (18.50 pounds for adult entry, 13.50pounds for children)

Of course they have the family package ..etc but it's going to hurt the pocket if you are bringing the entire family.



Verdict: 7/10

Advice:
1.You can skip this zoo if you have visited other zoos listed in the top 10 list
(Unless you are going there mainly for the kids to have a good time)
2. Bring your own food
3. Expect spending at least 4-6 hours there
4. Make sure your children was their hands after petting the animals (to avoid contracting HSP)
