    This was a wonderful day out, the rockhopper penguins were sat right in front of us the whole time and a lovely volunteer had a super interesting chat with us while a group of three king penguins waddled over to wave at us. We were really happy to see all the animals had lots of room and many seemed to enjoy the attention and would approach us. Just a wonderful experience, highly recommend!

    I found it exciting to find myself right "in history," entering places that characters who marked eras frequented. For a couple of hours I lost myself completely in that wonderful atmosphere. The audio guide was absolutely perfect in his explanations. I would never leave even from the gardens again.

    The interactions with the actors was definitely the most entertaining part. You could never expect who they would talk to and they made sure everyone felt included.
