Midweek Magic Ep 5: The Free Zoo Hack 🦒

Did you know you can see zoo animals for FREE? Loads of them have public footpaths running right around the edge and if you’re lucky you have the chance to spot an animal if you head out on a walk.

Of course, it’s important to support zoo’s that do conservation work by paying for entry and for that reason we have a monthly membership to a local zoo too, but every now and then this is such a fun alternative, feels more like a walking safari than a zoo trip, because you genuinely never know what you’ll see.

Here’s where we went -

📍Port Lympne Reserve
🚗 Free roadside parking
☕️ Babycino and toilet stop at The Naughty Dog Cafe next to @lympnecastle
👶 carrier walk only not for buggy friendly
‼️Very steep hill

Follow along for weekly midweek magic inspiration for you and your little ones!

And comment below if you know a good footpath zoo walk that other parents might like to try
