We're sure you'll have an amazing day that everyone will remember forever. But don't just take our word for it! Here's just a few of the many thank you letters from recent family days at Dartmoor Zoo:
"I would like to express my thanks to you and all the staff at Dartmoor Zoo for providing such a successful day for our families of deployed personnel. A quote from one of the husbands serving away explains how his children felt about the day:
'I was fortunate enough to speak to Donna, Oliver and Joshua yesterday and they couldn't wait to tell me what an absolutely fantastic time they had at Dartmoor Zoo. My children were beside themselves explaining to me (as well as two 4 year olds can) how much they had done especially the special prizes that were bought for them from the shop before they left.'
The day was a huge success and your hard work was appreciated by all.
Commander Steven Spencer Commanding Officer, MDHU Derriford"
