Francesca was very interested in the bat enclosure (she happened to be wearing a batman hoodie). Feeding the penguins was fun, watching them jumping up and swimming around by the glass to get at the fish.</p>\n<p>The most entertaining moments for me were the few rides that we when on; Wild River Rafting, Zambezi Water Splash, Dr Umboto’s Catacombs and the Pirate Ship (which Francesca did not like one bit).</p>\n<p>Overall we both had a great day out, and we have a 2nd visit ticket, which we will be using in the summer.</p>","excerpt":"West Midland Safari Park My girlfriend and I have been meaning to visit West Midlands Safari Park for about a year now, and last Sunday we finally went.
