Primrose House Residents Thrive on Tropical World Adventure

Residents of Primrose House in Brough recently embarked on an exhilarating day trip to Tropical World, where they were treated to a vivid exploration of nature's wonders. The outing was a resounding success, bringing both excitement and joy to everyone who participated.

Upon arrival, the group was mesmerised by the impressive array of tropical plants, believed to be the largest collection outside of Kew Gardens. The butterfly house enchanted the residents, as beautiful butterflies flitted gracefully among the lush, swampy mangroves. Janet was thrilled to be the first to spot the crocodiles lounging near the ponds, adding an element of surprise to the adventure.

The day continued with a visit to the aquarium, where the residents were intrigued by the sight of formidable red-bellied Piranhas and a massive Red-Tailed Racer snake—a fascinating creature known for its striking size and longevity. The waterfall house offered rich displays of vibrant birds and charming tortoises, with a particular highlight being the tiny Pygmy Marmoset, a delightful discovery for all.

The desert room was another favourite among the residents, as families of meerkats captured the heart with their playful antics, especially for Maurice, who was amused by their photogenic poses. The journey culminated at Creature Craven, where the brave encountered lizards, scorpions, tarantulas, and an array of fascinating specimens.

The residents returned to Primrose House with unforgettable memories and a renewed appreciation for nature’s diversity, knowing their home away from home ensures enriching experiences and unwavering care.
