RUBERY youngsters enjoyed a festive trip to Dudley Zoo.

The children from Jellybabies Nursery and Pre-School, based at Longbridge Methodist Church, visited the zoo on Monday, December 16.

The youngsters enjoyed a busy day of Christmas activities including a magical train ride, a glow in the dark festive puppet show and a visit to Santa's Grotto at the Christmas castle, where they each received a present.
