“What a great experience on a hot summer’s day! We weren’t expecting to see much as it hasn’t been raining too much and assumed that the animals would be hiding in the shade where they could find it, but much to our surprise the animals were up and about enjoying the day just like we did!” - Reviewed on 2023-09-28
