I went with my fiancee and two young girls aged (3 & 1) and we had a great time. Planning ahead we booked tickets online. A few weeks before going and this allowed us to buy meal tickets in advance as well and I would advise doing this as you can save quite a bit overall doing it this way. We all had a great time and enjoyed the sea lion show as well as the big cats and saw most of the animals across the zoo. The only bit being worked on was near the anteaters. We will definitely go again to catch all the shows and feeding.

After visiting the Lodge today and having a beautiful lunch, I feel I needed to write a review. I am very lucky to live nearby Staining Lodge and regularly visit the restaurant with my little dog Freddie. I go for breakfast or Lunch almost weekly! The full english breakfast is amazing although there are plenty of other delicious options to choose from. The lunch specials change daily and the soup is always homemade and tasty. The main seasonal lunch menu also has something for everyone. Its very hard to find a decent restaurant which welcome dogs in the Fylde area which is why I go there so often. Its always a pleasure to spend a morning or afternoon at the Lodge. Great setting ,Friendly Staff, Fresh Food, and just a lovely place to go. I've even booked for Mothers Day!!!!!
