A Day out at Amazon World

Published by marky

Ok so maybe winter is not the best time to visit an attraction, but Amazon World is open all year round and much of it is indoors and it's great for the little ones on a cold and miserable day, however I did think it would be a bit warmer inside. Well it was in February and it was a very cold day because you could still feel a slight chill in the air of the Tropical houses. All in all it was great fun and the little one loved it, especially getting so up close and personal with the tropical birds and Sloths.

Well laid out with a nice variety of animals both in cages and running free around you, plenty of fish too with a really big raised tank with glass walls so you can get right next to the Piranha, but don't put your fingers in! Enough to keep kids occupied for a couple of hours at least as you can go round as many times as you want once you've paid and had your hand stamped. Would be really nice on a fine summers day as thereĀ are outdoor play areas too, but they seemed to be locked off when we visited, only the toddlers area was open.

The shop is good too and as with most attractions of this type it's the last stop before the exit, but there's enough variety of stuffed animals and nik naks to suite most wallets and purses. Cafe was ok with fast service and the food was ok too, just don't expect top notch grub, more a few steps up from a roadside cafe.

Overall would recommend to any visitors to the Isle of Wight.
