Trip To The Buttonwood Zoo

I am a Nanny, so I am always looking for new places to go. I was very surprised with this Zoo. The day i was there the train was not working because they were setting up for their Helloween celabraction. I had never been to this Zoo before, the animals were very well kept. The lay out of the zoo was perfect, no large hills, so it was easy to push a carraige with a child in it. They also rented carraiges there, for a reasonable price. I found the cost to get into the zoo a very good value. So if you are looking for a fun spot to take the kids, pack a lunch and the kids in the car and take a trip to the Zoo!
