Poor Nanna was away so the rest of us took a trip with Natalie & Brody to Marwell Zoo for the day and what a day it was! The weather was lovely so after a quick breakfast and a slight lie in (thanks Roo!) we headed down the M3 towards Winchester.
We got to the car park at just before 10am (which is the opening time) to see the queue was quickly increasing so we took our place in line and queued for a ticket. I can't remember the last time I went to Marwell so I was quite excited to see the snow leopards and some monkeys!
Marwell is a very well laid out Zoo and has something for everyone, on this day they had a 'Dino Egg Hunt' where the kids would go round looking for rare dinosaur eggs to spell out a word on a sheet they were given - upon completing this sheet they got to meet the easter bunny and were given a Creme Egg! As you can imagine Reuben was a bit young for one so Daddy took the reins with this one :) :)
My only criticism is that the indoor eating area is a bit small with hardly any tables and chairs and when the sun went in it was a bit nippy but it's only a minor criticism if that at all!
I would certainly recommend going to Marwell especially to see how fast you can run compared to certain animals and even a human at 27mph!
