Your Torquay holidays will never be complete without a visit to the Living coasts zoo.
The place is a popular tourist destination in Torquay.
Because of its proximity to most holiday cottages, you will never have a hard time reaching the zoo.
The whole family especially the kids will love the activities in store during your Torquay holidays.
Unlike other regular zoos where animals live in artificial environment, the management of Living Coast zoo ensures that they maintain the natural habitat of the animals.
The environment is especially designed to make them look as natural as possible.
Your kids will love the close encounter with these animals.
Make sure to visit the place during one of your Torquay holidays.
Seal Sanctuary During your Living Coast tour, include in your itinerary a visit to the Fur Seal Cove.
This is where you will see the fur seals imported from South America.
The sanctuary provides a room for the seals to dive, swim and enjoy their normal activities.
Because the staffs of the zoo keep the natural habitat of the sea animal, children will be able to appreciate the usual life of the seals.
They can throw toys for them to play underwater.
However, the toys are pre-approved by the management to ensure the safety of the animal.
You cannot throw just any toy from your holiday cottages.
The play encounter serves as their exercise to keep them active in their new home.
Because the seal experience is not present in all zoos, you should take advantage of this rare chance during your Torquay holidays.
Ask the receptionist from your holiday cottages on how to reach the Living Coasts.
Surely, they will provide the easiest direction to reach the tourist attraction.
Wading Birds Another attraction in the Living Coasts is the Waders Estuary.
Again, the management provides a natural habitat for the birds.
The estuary showcases over 150 wading birds enjoying in their man-made habitat.
Because the place looks natural, visitors coming from their Torquay holidays will see the usual way of life of the birds.
The sandy shores and mudflats serve as a refuge and food reservoir for the birds.
They have worms, shellfish and different insects where the birds can feast on.
The lively streams, islands, beach areas and plants complete the Waders estuary.
Your kids will see the birds and their nestling exploring the whole place.
Because the estuary is accessible from your holiday cottages, a day tour to the place is very convenient.
You can enjoy the zoo from ten in the morning until six in the afternoon.
If you have to go on group tour during your Torquay holidays, just inform the management for a reservation.
