The Family Who Bought A Zoo

WHILE most kids can only dream of growing up with lions, Aaron Whitnall lived it for real - when his family bought a zoo. Aaron lives in Hertfordshire, England at a very special zoo with a strong family history - Paradise Wildlife Park. Three decades ago Aaron Whitnall’s grandfather, Peter Sampson, stumbled across the UK’s worst zoo. He decided to give the animals a new chance at life and re-launch the zoo, changing his family’s - and his future grandchildren’s - lives forever.
