Whipsnade Zoo

Whipsnade Zoo is near Dunstable in Bedfordshire.   It's very big - really need to visit more than once to see everything.   They have a large selection of animals both large and small.  You can either park your car in the outside carpark and walk around or hop on the free double decker bus to go round, or you can opt to drive your own car around from parking lot to parking lot.   We walked around, I think that's best really as you get to see exactly what you want when you want, and stop at each enclosure at your leisure. Walking you can head in any direction to see what you want, whereas both the car route and bus route limit you as to what you can see (and you cant stop at your leisure).  There are several blocks of loos and cafes and drink/food kiosks dotted around too.
