About
Walter Zoo holds about 100 animal species, from tigers, chimpanzees and Barbary lions to meerkats, red pandas and small-clawed otters. The tropical, savanna and reptile houses give a dry option on wet days.
Kids can feed some animals with the zoo's own hay pellets, watch keeper-led feedings, ride ponies and run between the playgrounds. Two fire pits by the flamingo pond come with free wood for grilling.
