Indeed - went fairly recently and thought it was fantastic. There's lots more than the two biomes too, which I think a lot of people don't realise; loads of stuff outside, and another building with some hands-on activities.

For anyone who's thinking of visiting - you can use Tesco Clubcard vouchers at 4x their face value for entry.
