The person taking our tickets at the zoo mentioned where I was and that the tickets were to the safari park. When I said we wanted to see the zoo instead of the safari park there was no problem entering the zoo. The person was very polite and accommodating.”

She was very knowledgeable and answered all our questions (even those not about pandas and not related to the tour) The pathways were clean, shaded and so full of plant foliage it felt like a botanical garden. I wished I lived closer so I could walk around this gorgeous place regularly.”
