Everything went very smoothly. Zoo was great and ferry ride great as well. Ferry staff friendly. Enjoyable day out. Lots of people at the zoo considering it was a wet day. Will return.

This visit was super smooth and easy given the tickets we bought! Getting to the ferry, the zoo, and back was so simple! These tickets were a perfect way to make this visit easier than it may have been had we not bought this bundle!

Easy to book, good value for money and good communication regarding event however the zoo experience it's self was a bit disappointing due to several of the animals not seen due to works occurring on their enclosures.
