People don't seem to like the term 'zoo' much anymore, so the former Blackbrook Zoological Park, near Leek, has recently thoughtfully re-invented itself as the Peak Wildlife Park ... but basically it's a small zoo.
The interesting thing about it is that one can go into quite a few f the enclosures, and be quite close to the animals. I wasn't sure how I felt about this, but the animals (like the lemur family in the photo) seemed relatively at ease with human presence.
If you don't mind zoos, in fact it's a good way for a family to pass a few hours.
I think the key is the way the animals are treated, if they're given space and something to do. These little ones seem at ease.
