    Buy tickets online rather than on the day. Try and find discount offers.

    Also take a packed lunch rather than buy food there.

    Stagger your day between rides and visiting the animals also try and get there prior to gates opening to help avoid bigger queues on the bigger rides.

    always worth checking local tourist info for offer tokens, two for one etc, before you get there, even the garage at he top of the road often used to have some

    We tend to go each year, as we like the fact that it's quite spread out and has all the animals too. One tip, you get so wet on the log flume that you may as well just jump in the water.

    Ta folks, got a 2 for 1 already which made it easier to say yes to the nipper,I wasn't happy at full price!

    Always though it was closer when we used to go as kids. Best part of 70 miles from town it seems

    Get there early, take your own snap/drinks and buy a queue buster pass if not too extortionate. Guarantees death stares from the massed hordes but will save you an hour or two.

    Don't wear a hat on Kumala.
