Drusillas Park 

We spent a whole day at Drusillas Park a few miles from Eastbourne, with zoo, massive playgrounds and Thomas the Tank Engine train ride. A day wasn't quite enough.

TL
Straight away on entering Drusillas , we entered the section with the very cute marmosets and tamarins.

These marmosets were able to go between their "bedroom" and their "living room" (with trees, ropes, etc.) through these perspex tunnels. The tunnels go right over the visitors path.

They had a section of the zoo devoted to farm animals.

Matthew practising milking a cow. Not a real cow :-). It was quite a clever idea.

The meerkat enclosure. Not only could you see them from the outside, but you could climb through a tunnel and poke your head up into that bubble on the left and look at them from the middle! Very clever.
