WHETHER it's a fascination with farms or the lure of lions, animals have always been guaranteed to draw the crowds. Numerous farm-based attractions have opened up in recent years, often as hard-pressed farmers diversify to make ends meet. Most have the standard farm animals, plus rare breeds and pets, and they allow visitors to get up close. If larger beasts are your bag, then the Welsh Mountain Zoo at Colwyn Bay should fit the bill. It has big cats and bears, camels and chimps, pandas, penguins and much more. The marine world is well represented with the superb Anglesey Sea Zoo, and aquariums in Rhyl, Conwy and Beaumaris. Beautiful and exotic butterflies can be seen at attractions in Conwy and Anglesey. Welsh Mountain Zoo, Colwyn Bay
