Lions didnt play ball...wolfs were ok...tiger was asleep...i think the most exciting bit was feeding the fallow deer... Just looked it up...THE MONKEYS HAD HERPES...

verminer Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 (edited) i live 5 minutes away and i think it is a bit of a ripoff as you pay for an expensive family ticket and you can only go on the attractions once.

chrispti Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 I went last November, was good, didn't have limits on stuff though, I wouldn't want to go in the warm weather, doubt any be the animals would be out doing much either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyrus88 Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 We went last year in the summer. Was okay as we used tesco clubcard points so worked out a bit cheaper. Was roasting though so all the animals were just chilling out doing nothing and those ******* monkeys started trying to steal my spare wheel. The deer were cool, and the gorilla.

Fisherman Mike Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 thinking of taking the little un to longleat this weekend... anyone been there recently? is it worth the dosh? I go every year, i think its bloody marvellous and well worth the money even if it is a bit steep...Do the house tour as well just an amazing building.

bruno22rf Posted May 26, 2012 Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 My mate used to put a couple of bars of laxative chocolate on the roof of his car just before he drove into the monkey enclosure-payback for them ripping his vinyl roof. :look: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
