Kids go free at ZSL London Zoo

Dec. 20, 2010 - PRLog -- The presents are unwrapped, the crackers pulled and dinner eaten; it’s time to banish the boredom with a visit to ZSL London Zoo – where between Sunday 26 and Friday 31 December, the Zoo is inviting five kids to visit for free with just one full-paying adult.



Just crowned Visit London’s ‘Best Tourism Experience in London’, ZSL London Zoo is home to more than 750 different species, from giraffes and zebras to piranhas and spiders. For a limited time only, up to five children get in free with one paying adult, when purchasing tickets online.



Visit www.zsl.org/zsl-london-zoo/ to purchase tickets and save up to £75* per group, and get one step closer to a great value day out at ZSL London Zoo.



Make sure to head for Rainforest Life, ZSL London Zoo’s most exotic exhibit. A completely immersive experience, visitors can come face-to-face with monkeys, sloths and anteaters, as they discover the hot and humid world of the South American rainforest.



Kids will love Animal Adventure, the Zoo’s fantastic exhibit designed by children, for children. Home to llamas, alpacas, meerkats and aardvarks, there’s tunnels, tepees and touch paddocks for youngsters to explore, and a relaxing café where the grown-ups can enjoy a delicious cappuccino whilst the kids play.



Everyone should pay a visit to the Zoo’s amazing Reptile House, where Zoo guests can see hundreds of frogs, snakes, lizards and turtles. Harry Potter fans can visit the location used in ‘Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone’, the first of the film series, and no visitor should forget ‘The Land of the Giants’ where impressive Galapagos tortoises and Komodo dragons reside.



To make the most of this unbeatable offer and treat the kids to a wonderful day out, simply visit www.zsl.org/zsl-london-zoo/ and get ready for an amazing day at ZSL London Zoo.
