Tropiquaria Zoo
Recommended by
Overview
Housed in a 1930s BBC transmitting station, the main hall has been converted into an indoor jungle with a 15-foot waterfall, tropical plants and free-flying birds. (Snakes, lizards, iguanas, spiders and tortoises are caged!) Downstairs is the submarine crypt with tropical aquatic life. Other features include landscaped gardens where two full-size pirate adventure ships are moored on the front lawn accessible to pirates of all ages. The park has an indoor playcastle for adventure and fun and a new outdoor princesses and knights castle and zipwire.

About the area
Somerset remains rural and unspoiled, and ever popular areas to visit are the limestone and red sandstone Mendip Hills rising to over 1,000 feet, and by complete contrast, to the south and southwest, the flat landscape of the Somerset Levels. Another popular spot, the Quantocks, once the haunt of poets Coleridge and Wordsworth, are noted for their gentle slopes, heather-covered moorland expanses and red deer.
