CHILDREN GO FREE TO BRISTOL ZOO.

Byline: By PETER BIBBY South Wales Echo 

It's been voted Zoo of the Year - a must-see destination for the whole family for 2004. Bristol Zoo Gardens has been awarded the title by the Good Britain Guide, voted for by the visitors who have enjoyed a day out there.

And to help celebrate the award, we've teamed up with Bristol Zoo for a fantastic Echo Happy Families kids go free offer. Right through the Easter holidays we're giving you the chance to enjoy a great day out at the zoo with our free child admission deal with every paying adult.

That's a saving of over pounds 5 for each child, who goes free.

There's loads to see, including watching the penguins and seals.

There's a re-created rainforest and an interactive Twilight World with its nocturnal desert, forest and walk-through bat enclosure.

And Bug World boasts inhabitants as diverse as flat-tailed scorpions and moon jellyfish. But the zoo is also great for the more traditional attractions like monkeys and gorillas, birds, reptile house and aquarium.

Bristol Zoo and Gardens (follow signs off M5 junction 17) is open daily in the Easter holidays (9am-5.30pm). Check out all its attractions at www.bristolzoo.org.uk.

To take advantage of our Echo Happy Families free kids offer cut out the special Happy Families vouche on this page and present it at the main entrance of the zoo.
