About
This tiny neighbourhood zoo is aimed at small children. Sheep and goats roam a fenced meadow you can walk into, guinea pigs can be held at set times, and free pony rides are offered to kids. Flamingos, turtles and rabbits round it out. It is a relaxed, local experience rather than a big attraction.
