Visited yesterday with 3 young children all between the age of 1 and 3 years. They all loved the zoo, it is perfect for that age range, small enough that the walking is manageable for them, good accessibility to viewing points so they could see the animals. The oldest also really enjoyed the park. It is just a shame that we had to cut our trip short. We decided to go for some food at about 12:30, by the time our party had all decided what we wanted from the menu it was just before 1pm. We get in the queue which is long and not really moving but thats ok, its peak time and to be expected. After about 5 minutes standing in the queue someone comes out and yells kitchen closed for the next hour, no food from 1-2pm due to a party. At this point we have 3 starving children who could not wait until gone 2pm for their lunch. It meant we had to leave much before we had planned. I understand that things like this happen and its better for them to be honest than keep taking orders they cant keep up with. My problem is it came without warning, if someone had told us on entrance or if there had been signs around to pre-warn, we would have made sure to order food earlier so we could have continued to enjoy our afternoon. Im sure we werent the only ones in this boat considering most people were visiting with children and I dont know many children who will happily wait over an hour for food. All in all the zoo is lovely but take a picnic because its not guaranteed food will be available.
