To finish off mine and Als anniversary weekend we went to the Yorkshire Wildlife Park. It was a lovely sunny day and perfect to go and see a range of animals.
I wore a blue and white butterfly sun dress with cut out sides, a jean shirt and chunky black sandals.
Yorkshire Wildlife park has been greatly developed over the years, from their work to help lions and the opportunity to get even closer to the animals.
For giraffes and leopards there is an over head balcony for people to get a closer look at the animals.
It's the first safari where I have been able to walk through an area where monkeys are jumping around you! I experienced a tiny monkey eating food right in front of where I was stood. It was quite amazing.
At some point this year they will getting Polar Bears, which would be amazing to see!
Although I do love going to the Zoo and Safari Parks, I do not agree with animals been kept locked up as an attraction; but then I look at it the opposite way that they are given great environments with great carers. Some of these animals are not endangered but find it extremely difficult to survive in the wild like Lions. Lion cubs have a very low percentage of surviving in the wild due to demand of food and water. So it's a difficult one!
It is great to see at this park that the animals are treated very well, which is the main worry of animals in captivity.
I know this post is slightly different to my other posts. I just felt like I needed to voice my opinion. This park is still ongoing development and I hope it offers great care to the animals been kept there! It's a great park and offers something for all ages, whether you go with family or friends.
There are benches everywhere so it would be lovely to take a picnic for a nice day out! The bonus is the price, at £15 per ticket.
