I have been to the one in Lancaster many times and always visit them if we go on holiday and there is one locally. <BR/><BR/>I love bat houses too.<BR/><BR/>I think I would like other wildlife places too if they felt natural - if you could walk through and be amongst the creatures but obviously with most creatures that is not possible.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
