Although I've rated you a 5, that could change. Unfortunately when I booked and paid for my 3 tickets, 2 adults and 1 adult concession, there wasn't a category for a carer. Our son Billy 35, has severe learning disabilities and unable to walk. He has either to be in a wheelchair or a motor scooter. He has Lennox Gault Syndrome, where he can have over 100 seizures a day, despite being on medication to reduce those numbers, and has to have 2:1 care 24/7. He also operates mentally as a 5 year old and loved the dinosaurs. When we presented our tickets at reception, they were surprised to see that we had 3 tickets and explained that we should be able to claim a refund for Billy's official care, his mother Melanie. They advised us to contact you and claim the carer concession. Here's hoping we can keep the rating as a 5 🌟. We all had an excellent day. Billy particularly enjoyed feeding the birds. We can send photos via Melanie but she is working until 9pm. Kind regards, Stuart Henks,

We love Blackpool zoo so much, we have always brought our kids here and much prefer it over Chester zoo even though Chester is closer to home. The queues are better dealt with and the speed in which you get in is miles ahead of Chester in my experience

Visited with my 4 Yr old Grandson. He loved the Dinosaur section and the small primate section. We had a great time seeing all the different animals and he enjoyed his frozen crush during in a specialised Toucan cup in the cafe.

Great zoo animals look well cared for and have plenty of space. Granddaughter thought it was great you were letting Santas reindeer rest there before they have to help him deliver the presents at Christmas.

So many highlights. The care of the animals, habitats , staff, but probably a chat with a young researcher studying feeding habits of the red pandas.
