While it’s not strictly part of the city, it’s one of the country’s most famous and fully-featured zoos. With more than twenty thousand animals on display, many of which are endangered, this is a fantastic opportunity to learn about the natural world – and to marvel at just how wonderful it is. More than five hundred species are on display across 125 acres, with special exhibits going up throughout the year.

This attraction will take you on a tour of the nautical history of the region, via a series of displays and exhibits. It’s a place where children will get a great deal of enjoyment too.
