I tried to give objective reasons for my opinions and then the reader can decide. That's a great tip about the Merlin pass! Someone was telling me about Thorpe Park this weekend.

I'm sure they do everything they can to make them happy and comfortable. It's just seemed so small and no natural light at all. There is a new outdoors penguin exhibit at the London Zoo that we really enjoyed although it was a different breed.

I don't know why they have penguins there, I don't think anyone would expect to see them and I would feel very uncomfortable seeing them in a small enclosure. I hope they re-think that.Globalmousenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6893259165510823230.post-76312532120398107912013-11-07T03:13:49.059-08:002013-11-07T03:13:49.059-08:00Ditto what Debbie said.

I get irritated when bloggers (especially travel bloggers) NEVER express the cons in their experiences. I realize that we are blessed to have these opportunities and should appreciate them, but it's okay to say negative things because it isn't rainbows a butterflies all the time.

We didn't have a crowd to fight, and the staff was really friendly- but it was just 'tired' as you say. This was in a shopping mall lower level and had the feeling of a hokey seafood restaurant. We are HUGE aquarium junkies (my boys are obsessed) and go to at least one in every country we've visited.Farrahnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6893259165510823230.post-14296845735906152982013-11-07T02:04:31.255-08:002013-11-07T02:04:31.255-08:00Beautiful photos Selena - I know what you mean abo...Beautiful photos Selena - I know what you mean about how busy it gets - I've been on a midwinter weekday and it's much nicer.adventuresofalondonkiwihttp://www.adventuresofalondonkiwi.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
