Battersea Park Zoo
With the Munchkin’s rendition of Old MacDonald ringing in my ears, I thought a trip to Battersea Park Zoo most apt.
One of the joys of the place, occurs before you even set foot inside. You can park with ease, and without it costing a fortune – something I’m a big fan of. Once inside, the Munchkin was in seventh heaven, my little Doctor Dolittle insisting on introducing herself to each and every animal that would give her the time of day. This was particularly amusing for me when the Minor bird replied and she jumped out of her skin. She’s now intent on helping all animals find their voice. It could be a long journey I’ve warned her.
Battersea Park Zoo ticks all the boxes. Perfect specimens of child friendly animals coexist with not only a fantastic playground to while away hours in, but also a sweet little café that helped shelter us from the afternoons showers. The staff even managed to find humour in the Munchkins attempted pilfering of a tube of Smarties. A good try, but none the less morally wrong. Rest assured, the goods where returned, if only to be paid for alongside my cuppa.
With much to do, touch and see we’re sure to become regulars.
