Advantages: Delight on kids faces Disadvantages: Walking up hill
...think is excellent.
Belfast Zoo is situated at the top of the Whitewell / Antrim Road. From Belfast City centre we are talking approx 4 or 5 miles.
When we got there.............
I hadnt been to the Zoo in a few years and was very excited (bless me, I was worse than the kids). I was unsure of the prices and assumed that for the four of us it would maybe cost around £17 or so. Well I was wrong. £12.50!!!! I thought this was excellent. Prices are ... ...within the grounds of the zoo there is a park which is VERY child friendly. Collum and Caitlin played here happily for ages both before and after seeing the animals. There is also a shop selling goods from the zoo and shops in and around selling drinks and ice cream, etc.
Overall I would recommend Belfast zoo. Think it is a great day out for both adults and children and also doesnt cost the world. If you ever come to Belfast, go on, give it a try, ...

Advantages: Lots to see, even a farmyard and reptile centre Disadvantages: All uphill -- can get tiring for little legs
...at the bottom of the zoo to get some food in our tummies to set us up for the long walk up to the top.
First we visited the Farmyard to see the Pigs, horses (my personal favorite), donkeys. Once my mum came along too and one of the pigs which had recently given birth jumped up at her, lets just say she has never been too close to a pig again. lol
Also there is a reptile house next to the farmyard, which homes Tarnsula'spiders, snakes and lizards, ... ...their pens and into the Zoo grounds, keep your eye out they are so sweet and pop up everywhere.

Advantages: Free admission to the zoo for a full year Disadvantages: The initial outlay is just over the cost of two visits
...For many years now Belfast Zoo has been at the forefront of breeding wild species from all over the world. No longer is Belfast Zoo just a place to stare through iron bars at captive animals.
New enclosures, matched as closly as possible to the animals natural habitat as possible, means that animals can be viewed in surroundings suitable to their needs. Nesting on the side of Cave Hill, Belfast Zoo can easliy be reached from Belfast by car or bus. ... ...hill on which the zoo is situated. Now, for a small fee, electric buggies are available for hire, though it is wise to phone and book these, this cost is offset by the fact that disabled persons gain free access to the zoo. There are public talks during the summer, a Saturday club for children, and special events throughout the year.
For the best value I strongly recommend the 'Annual Membership' as this gives free admission for a full year, and ...
