Zoo Only Days
- Thread starter RustyShackleford
- Start date
I would imagine so since you have to do so with any other day at the park.
Oh ok I wasn’t sure as I looked at booking for the 1st day and on the app there’s nothing there to book. It could be that most of the staff have been given a week or 2 off and ain’t updated the booking system since the Christmas event.
Yeah, I got the info off the website rather than the app.
From the website 'All Passholders are welcome on Zoo Only Days at Drayton Manor. You don't need to pre-book, just turn up and show your pass at the gate to gain entry'. Weblink: https://www.draytonmanor.co.uk/tickets/annual-pass/passholder-hub Next date open is 20th January 2024.
I'm pretty certain that a fair few last year were incentivised by the opportunity to see developments on the submarine splash, I wonder what opportunities for spying on developments this year will bring!?
Last year you entered the Vikings entrance and you entered the zoo’s main entrance. The sweet shop was open but that was it.

When I did one we parked and entered on the zoo at a side entrance.
(walked past the back of sub splash construction)
The zoo gates were closed so we couldn't go past the gates of the entrance of the zoo.
Last year I entered by both the side entrance and through vikings at different times. As detailed above there wasn't anything else open - although I've got a memory of Mrs Kyndley's being open for tea and coffee.

Adding a diagram as my explanation sounded a bit odd ^^'
Blue squiggle is where we were parking and the red circle is where we entered.
Mrs Kyndley's was open during zoo days yes
Didn't stop in there personally though.
Was a nice experience - the animals were quire active and some were showing off to the public too
(one of the only time's I've actually spotted the red pandas...! )

At the time there were vehicles driving around the main park too so it's also a safety thing
