The viewing platform extends into the giraffes’ barn and visiting during feeding time is a real treat! The morning had been a combination of differing activities, done over a nice sustained period of time, where nothing was rushed and for me, I found it enjoyable. Our final animal to meet before lunch was the Asian Elephant . Once in the European section, we started off by getting to see the Wild Boar , and at this stage there was the mother and around a dozen piglets running around. The piglets were a couple of weeks old and at this stage were still very much in the stripy humbug stage! Become a member today Already a Silver member?

Set over 600 acres on the picturesque Chiltern Hills and home to almost 3,000 animals, including lions, tigers, rhinos, hippos, brown bears, giraffes, zebras, penguins and a herd of Asian elephants, ZSL Whipsnade Zoo makes for a magical day for visitors young and old. From the furry and feathered to the jumbo and majestic, there are amazing animal exhibits, talks, feeds and demonstrations every day. There is an underpass that gets visitors from the external free car park to the entrance to the Zoo. This is ramped but is a steep ramp out of the underpass. This is due to the sizing of the sofa bed. The sofa bed is small and only designed for children aged 5-13 years.
