Recently I went to the Zoological Society London(ZSL) also known as London Zoo. For their sunset safari event. This is a after hours event which means that people can go after the time in which the zoo would normally close.
The night was brilliant, starting at 6pm and finishing 10pm, it isn't as long as you would get if you were going there during the day, and it costing around the same price in which you were to pay and get all day, there were some down points to it. However if a adult were to buy a ticket children under a specific age would get into it for free, which is extremely good if you were on a budget!
Obviously anyone who knows me would know that I LOVE going to the zoo! I mean LOVE. And I truly believe that the ZSL plays a key role in animal conservation around the globe. All of the different enclosures are done so so it would improve the animals wellbeing. Also the animals are most commonly kept in groups meaning that they have a good social wellbeing! Also around every enclosure is animal enrichment, which would give the animal a more enrichment.
The sunset safari part of it meant that there were a number of different food bars which were located within the central part of the zoo, along with face painting(I couldn't resist!!) and also a number of different photo choices. This meant therefore that it was a completely different experience to what you would normally get if you were to get from the zoo.
Overall, I would say that everyone should go there to experience this. However I would say that it is something in which is mainly for adults as there was a lot of alcohol there and also more adults than children, however you would have guessed that due to it being late. However it is a great experience for people and I enjoyed myself. However one thing in which I would moan about is that a lot of the animal enclosures were shut and people wasn't aware of this until we got the programme outside of the gates. Also there were big lines outside of the entrance and I believe that more staff should be outside to make it better managed.
To end, I will definitely be going next year, I just hope that more of the animal enclosures are open and the lines are smaller. However I think it was a great day out and a completely different night out in the heart of London.
