WONDERFUL WALLABY WALKABOUT OPEN FOR FATHERS DAY
Hop down to Blackpool Zoo this Father’s Day and take a walk on the wild side in the brand new Wallaby Walkabout.
It is part of the re-vamp of the Children’s Zoo area of the award winning attraction and Father’s Day visitors can get closer to the 11 adult and six baby wallabies than ever before. The animals are free to roam and hop around visitors as they wander through. Scatter feeding and educational talks will also take place throughout the day. The multi-surfaced paddock, which is am mixture of sand and grass, is reminiscent of the wallaby’s natural habitat of coastal and highland eastern Australia. Father’s Day is also the perfect chance to check in on the first time dads at the zoo. Western Lowland Gorilla Bukava and Pileated Gibbon Bob will be showing off their babies, both of which were born in May. The main restaurant in the Zoo will be serving a whole host of World Cup related meals and, for those impossible to buy for animal loving dads, the zoo’s 2010 Membership will give the whole family unlimited access until December 31st. As well as getting the chance to watch our extraordinary animal families grow for the price of just two and half visits, members also receive a 10% discount at the zoo’s shops and restaurants, a regular newsletter and exclusive invitations to special ‘members-only’ events that are being planned for the year ahead.
