Not sure if this is the correct forum for this so mods please move if desired.
Myself and Mrs ZC have been gallivanting all over the show discovering new places and planning some more exotic UK destinations for October. Needless to say we have been having fun whilst out and about and I would like to share with you a little gem hidden away near Retford just south of Doncaster and set in 32 acres of lakes and woodland.
Wetlands is animal park with a difference and best of all its ran by a really nice biking couple who were very welcoming and couldn't be more down to earth if they tried. They truly have a love for the animals and it didnt take long for us to discover that Jo is just nuts about chickens. Great for us as thats Mrs ZCs current obsession.
It costs around £4.50 to get in for adults and £3.50 for children which I think is a fitting price.

There is a affordable cafe even more appealing for some, an affordable gift shop so the kids can have something to remind them of the park without breaking the bank.
The athmosphere is very calming as its not excessively busy as its out of the way. The whole grounds are very quiet and there are fishermen mixed in within the wildlife. You could happily pop down their for the afternoon to get away from the noise of the house and read a book, you could pop down with the family and entertain the kids and you could also pop down for some education, its got it all.
Imagine a zoo with exotic animals and for the ones that cant do you any harm the barriers have been removed, stroke, feed and admire nature at its best. Many of the animals have total free roam accross the park and settle wherever they see fit.
Monkeys, Wallabies, Owls, Donkeys, Meerkats, Chickens, Vultures, Alpacas, Lamas, Ostriches, Sheep, Yaks, Racoons, Deer, Peacocks, Pelicans, Storks, Ducks, Geese, Goats, Boars, Shetland Ponies and many many more that I just cant remember or describe.
