This animalarium/zoo is just outside of Borth. It's semi-rural and off the beaten path, with a dirt parking lot. Admission is 9.50 GBP.
Full disclosure: I've never been to an animalarium or zoo in the U.K. All of my experience with zoos has been in the U.S.
This zoo is filthy, dated, and very sad. There is a wide variety of animals there, from Sheep and Goats to Lions, Linx, and exotic monkeys. None of the enclosures seemed big enough for the animals. This was especially noticeable for the Leopard, Crocodiles, large snakes, and Lions. I was also concerned about safety. The big cats were separated from the public by little more than chicken wire and there was one disinterested, young, female employee with the lions. Moreover, the enclosures were dirty, stinky, and overrun with weeds. I felt sorry for all of the animals.
Allegedly, all of these animals are rescued and rehomed and my two year old enjoyed the animals, so 2 stars seems appropriate. read more
