My visit to Regents Park and London zoo

Two weeks ago I went with my friends to London zoo, since it was a really nice day we decided to walk through Regents Park first.
In the park’s entrances you can see a very unique sculptures garden when you can take a picture and read information about the artist and his work. After taking a walk we stopped for a picnic break in the sun. In the park you can find benches and a small café, and in a sunny day I recommend to walk through the park on your way to the zoo, its take about 20-30 minutes from the tube station(you can also take a bus from the tube station). You can also bring some nuts for the squirrels, they’re very friendly :).

The zoo opening hours are every day 10:00-16:00, last entrance is at 15:00. The price for students is £12.40 or £13.90 for adults. In the zoo you can see 650 different animals’ species such as: giraffes, lions, tigers, camels, birds, monkey and a lot more.
The amazing thing is that every animal is being kept in a similar environment like it used to live in nature. In the zoo you can find special exhibitions, for example African bird safari, butterfly paradise, a big aquarium, reptile house and a lot more fascinating sites.

I especially enjoyed the gorilla kingdom, I had never been so close to one before, and in London zoo you might see them through a window glass if they decide to come near you. I also fed a penguin, and I can truly say that it is a unique experience. In the brochure which you get when you enter the zoo you can find some daily activities free of charge (like birds and animals’ shows). In the way out you can find the gift shop which has a variety of soft animal dolls where you can find your favorite animal.
Have fun!
