First time going back to Dudley Zoo since going as a child, The place is amazing, so many amazing animals to see, so much to do and explore, The staff there are first class and are always willing to help with whatever you need!...I would recommend taking your own food/ packed lunches as there's so many places to sit and enjoy a picnic especially on the castle grounds and there's tables and seating all over the place the other reason i recommend taking your own food and drinks is because the food sold at the cafe's and so forth is so expensive for what you get ( almost a £5 for a cheese sandwich) the small bottle of coke at places cost £2.30 (you get the idea) so taking food and drinks is what we personally will do from now on. The "funfair" i wouldn't really bother again expensive for what you get and whats there (£1 a ticket and most rides are two tickets per ride) and it seems not many people/ kids use it, well not when we was there!..But minus that it's a brilliant day or days out yes i say day's out as we never got round the whole place as we was taking our time taking photos and enjoying ourselves so much that we decided we would get the membership to the zoo which was super cheap and would also recommend looking into that as it means you can go back as many time's as you wish for a whole year and we do plan on going back many time! The place is very hilly and steep at places so do keep that in mind, I also did notice they have mobility scooters so maybe it's worth ringing and asking about hiring is possible and if needed! Wide range of animals from birds to tigers and lions, also a petting zoo for the kids to get up close..I added a few photos from many i have taken (and will be taking many more) The membership is fantastic as i now call it my get fit card as there's a lot of walking involved but that's not a bad thing at all! It has it's busy times and busier areas but the kids would love it as would the adults (WE DO)!
