	London Zoo - Review - It's an animal world
		But I do think professionally run zoos where the focus is on looking after the animals and for research are more acceptable- especially when the research is helping to save species in the wild.

		We got a guidebook from the entrance of the zoo for £3.50 which was well worth the money as it came with a map that suggested routes to take around the zoo to make sure you see everything.
