THIS year is the Year of the Frog and at Bristol Zoo you can not only adopt a frog and help the global effort to save 2000 endangered species of amphibians, you can also play some frog-friendly games, including 'newts and crosses'.

But that's just one of the things you can do if you visit Bristol Zoo. There's also the exciting new Butterfly Forest, where you can wander through a butterfly paradise and, of course, there are hundreds of animals, from spiders to sloths, lions to love beetles. Don't miss Seal and Penguin Coasts, Gorilla Island and Zona Brazil.

Pick up a Search the Zoo animal fact sheet to find out if sloths really are lazy or what a gorilla likes for lunch or how many lions are left in the wild to get the maximum from your visit. With events and activities throughout the zoo every day, this is one trip you won't forget in a hurry. For more information, directions and prices, visit bristolzoo.org.uk
