We visited West Midland Safari Park on a warm and sunny day at the end of april 2006.

A drive through Safari Park where you get very close to wild animals and some nice rides.

You are able to feed some of the animals from your car so progress is sometimes slow as they put their heads through the window looking for food!

The giraffes seemed particularly hungry the day we visited. There are more animals to see in the walk through section of the park with a sea lion show, reptiles,fish and even free flying bats!

This is a very well themed family park with a great mixture of

The rides are all very close together in a small area which is great if you have a young family as you don't have to walk far to the next attraction.

It was busy on the day of our visit but there were only short queues so re-rides were easy.

All in all a very enjoyable day out and 3 more credits for us whores!!
