My missus has been watching the Lion man on sky for a year or so and she is desperate to see a baby lion cub.I thought it would be nice to pre book some tickets to go see some of the little furry things.

Id rather not travel over 2 hours or so(From LN6 0WE) but if there was a good chance id see one then i would go a bit further.Failing that just a decent zoo/safari park/We would go in her car so not too fussed about monkeys pulling her aerial off! :grin:

Any ideas?

Yes ive used google :tongue: but want some 1st hand experience. :wink:

cant be arsed to see if its within  2 hours, or if its got baby lions

but this place seems to be popular with people who liked getting there cars damaged , cos they then came to me to fix bits  :laugh:

Sorted!Nice one Jord,cant believe this is on my doorstep and i never knew about it!Looks just down her street.
She is terrified of ducks so i will have to be on duck patrol but apart from that it looks perfect.

Cheers mate. :cool:
