Anne has two adorable kids and a love of all things South West… so look out for her tips on everything from Devon and Cornwall to Wimbledon and Clapham. She has checked out lots of the indoor play centres, parks and gardens on the website, and can always be relied on for great tips on travelling with kids. 
I visited Marwell over the October half term with my three rowdy kids. The setup is fantastic for children of all ages, but I flinched a bit at the entry cost – especially on a cold, rainy day, when all the animals were (sensibly) hiding inside!

Our 17 month old daughter had a great time on her first visit to this zoo last week. We had a lovely afternoon as there were plenty of animals for her to see despite it being a blustery day. We live fairly nearby so we took a chance and bought an annual pass… I’m glad we did! I think we are going to have some great times there learning about the animals together. At the end of our visit we popped in to the cafe/shop and it looked like they were building a new soft play area for little ones too – yay!
