DUDLEY Zoo has handed out more than 1,500 free return visits so far this year.
Running until the end of this month, every full-paying visitor will receive a ticket to come back later in the year – and there will be plenty for them to see due to the £200,000 revamp of three enclosures.
The zoo has now revealed the name of one of the new exhibits due to open by Easter – Flamingo Falls.
Designed by the zoo’s new graphic designer, Rachel Lane, the colourful sign and Flamingo Falls logo shows the plans for the new £120,000 enlarged pool and indoor den, where visitors will be able to see the leggy birds even when they’re off show.
As part of the plans, a brand new £40,000 walkthrough exhibit for rainbow lorikeets and developing a new £40,000 enclosure for a breeding groups of Sulawesi crested macaques and gelada baboons.
The return ticket will be valid for six months from the initial visit date and an original receipt will need to be produced on entry.
