Unfortunately, due to my disabilities I don’t leave the house too often, so I haven’t been to many places. However, this July whist I was away at Turkey I went to Funtastic Aquarium İzmir. There were no facilities available inside the aquarium, but the aquarium itself was inside a shopping center. Again, there where no guide but this wasn’t really necessary as it was a very small aquarium. I got my photo taken, similar to the ones you get on roller-coaster (£12 for the 6 of them an absolute steal) and I got to feed koi carp and various ray species. There where many large, clear signs in both English and Turkey so I was able to read them. It was very informative, like did you know moray eels have a second jaw, like the movie Alien. Overall, I really enjoyed myself, attached are some pictures I took while I was there.

was very great to visit, easy access by bus and helpful guides at the entrances, visible landmarks for bathrooms and plenty of food/drink stalls around the main areas, lots to see, read and interact with such as feeding the Emus by hand, and getting up close with the dolphins, there was also plenty of park rangers around each area in case we needed anything. Specific enclosures had speakers talking about the animals and giving facts about them which was very engaging. during the dolphin show we were given all their names and the history behind each of them and how they go to be at the park, including some rescues.

I once spent a half-day in five sisters zoo with feeding meerkats, lemurs and I believe, otters. It happened al long time ago I believe when I was turning 8 0r 9, so my memory is a little foggy, but I think I was also feeding some bird species including a cockatoo. I also remember holding a hedgehog with white spikes and they had the crocodiles in the opposite rooms (I believe this was after the accident that was the fire, so the crocodiles were in a separate enclosure while the damage site was being rebuilt).

this reserve is beautiful and is so big. It has many different areas to visit and a river also runs through the reserve. There are bird watching places also. There are plenty of signs to tell you where you are going, there was not and toilets but that is okay!

Overall, Glasgow Science Centre was equipped with a lot of useful facilities and was packed with loads of interactive science activities. Information about events and shows was easily accessible either by a digital bill board or by directly asking staff. Rest areas and cafes/restaurants were all signposted very clearly and was very accessible. The planetarium was very informative and told you about some really cool space facts whilst traveling through space. The activities were very enjoyable and were also very factual and packed with information. I was also impressed by how the science centre was also very eco conscious and promoted a good standard of plant life outside of it. This made it very welcoming. I learned a lot especially about sustainable energy and current technologies.
