It's good to see that some councils appreciate how little some families have to spend on leisure activities and price their attractions accordingly. I'm sure children enjoy the Jungle Experience.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8184901344095001216.post-53269772705067265582014-03-18T20:51:41.862+00:002014-03-18T20:51:41.862+00:00What a great day out.

I don't expect everywhere to allow them in, the Jungle Experience isn't ideal for dogs, but the rest of the park is, so I don't mind that he has to miss parts out, but it means a lot to me that he's allowed in most of the places here. There's still some places which don't want you to part with so much money, these are the places where I'll tend to return, definitely value for money here. I'm a bit funny with butterflies, I don't like them flitting about, but I was ok here, there weren't any flying about, but I saw a couple of Owl butterflies on the plants, a lovely expereience.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8184901344095001216.post-90462550022184471992014-03-17T22:15:52.217+00:002014-03-17T22:15:52.217+00:00I didn't know about it until I started looking...I didn't know about it until I started looking on the internet for somewhere to visit.
