TV characters to appear at Twycross Zoo for holidays
FAMILIES looking for a cracking treat over the Easter Bank Holiday weekend should look no further than Twycross Zoo.
Some of the nation’s favourite TV characters will be on hand at the zoo and visitors can see heroes from the PJ Masks Show on March 30-31 and the fearless puppies from PAW Patrol on April 1-2.
The Easter festivities began on March 24 with the opening of the Easter Egg Trail, where families were invited to explore the zoo looking for hidden eggs and bunnies! This also saw the welcome return of the Wet and Wild play area, where little ones can splash around while mum and dad have a good rest.
Home to more than 500 animals of 150 different species from all around the world, Twycross Zoo is the only place in the UK with all four great apes – chimpanzees, orang utans, gorillas and bonobos.
Open from 10am to 6pm during the Easter holidays, there is something for everyone at Leicestershire’s award-winning conservation charity. Walk the Wetlands area, marvel at the winged wonders of the Butterfly Farm, meet the meerkats, pop and see the penguins and say hi to the snow leopards.
If that wasn’t enough, visitors can explore the Himalaya Centre, with its warm and inviting coffee shop, super soft play and newly refurbished, fully licensed restaurant, which features breath-taking views overlooking the Snow Leopard enclosure.
Twycross Zoo relies upon the generosity of its visitors to support its conservation work. Adult zoo tickets are priced £19.95 and children aged two-plus are priced £14.95, for children under two and carers entry is free.
Centrally located in the heart of England, Twycross Zoo is just off junction 11 of the M42. For more information and to book tickets, visit twycrosszoo.org or call 0844 474 1777.
