I took Thomas to Chessington the other day for the first time. first we went on some rides, the sight seeing one, a few car ones and a merry-go-round. He was afraid of the bubble works though!
Although there were only a few baby rides that he could go on, he loved the zoo, and as we had a voucher we only paid 15 quid to get in so it was cheaper than London zoo.
the first cage we saw had a huge owl in it, which was sitting right by the bars. It was sitting quite still and Thomas didn't show much interest in it until it moved its head round to look at us.
squealing Thomas jumped backwards away from the cage and proceeded to burst into tears. i quickly led him to the next cage to show him the monkeys and the crying stopped immediately.
"daa daa" he said pointing to the largest monkey in front of him. i couldn't believe it i was in stitches! we stood in front of that cage for ages, Thomas making all the people passing by laugh at his insistence that the monkey was daddy.
Next we went to see the sea lions being fed. Thomas thought this was very funny and we spent another half hour watching that.
He also loved the lions and tigers, he kept calling them cats and pointing. He was also saying "rrroooaaarrr" whenever he saw the lions, because his toy lion at home roars!
All in all it was a good day out and i would recommend to anyone!
