I don't normally endorse or like zoos but this is extremely well laid out and is totally geared around providing the right environment for the animals etc. Mainly enclosures rather than cages and very informative notices and staff on hand.Visited on

We stayed there for 6 hours. Wooded zoo and fit animals. I highly recommend visiting the zoo.
It is best to go there at the opening, as the animals are less hot. The butterfly greenhouse was very surprising.

Our trip to Jersey was centred around visiting this zoo as I love Gerald’s books and the representation of his life on the tv series The Durrells.
We allowed plenty of time for exploring and loved all the exhibits. We went in reverse and started in an aviary filled with exciting birds. We loved the open style enclosures and spent ages staring at the bats.
We ate at the restaurant, sharing a pizza and chips between two (hungry) adults. We sat outside where the team have done a good job to prevent local birds from begging or diving.
Overall the trip was marvellous, well worth it! Enjoyed the shop, and the large charity superstore found within the car park too.

A great place to explore animals and nature. A lot of thought has gone in to giving the animals and birds as near natural environment as possible. You really feel like the focus is on conservation and not how much money can we make from visitors.Visited on

I'm not a fan of zoos. I mean, nice enough to go once for an educational side of things for the kids, but in essence, it is a prison. Saying that, the enclosures were tidy and seemed appropriate. Plenty to see and do.

Hard to call this a zoo, its more a wildlife conservation. However, it's a lovely few hours out. Nice, clean and tidy and animals look well cared for. Shop was also nice.Wait time

I was not expecting such a quality zoo. You can feel this is really a park in nature. Not a random zoo. Animals have space and you can see them in there shelters even if the weather does not allow them to be outside.Visited on

First visit here, went with wife and 6 year old son.
Had a great time, spent around 5 hours here. Loads of animals. For us the gorilla's and orangutans were amazing. Loved the bufferfly house and other small monkeys. Was amazed we spent so long here.
There are 2 cafes although we took our own picnic. Loads of benches dotted around to use.
Overall lots to see and do and would recommend.

Absolutely loved this zoo. It is well thought out and carefully designed to make the most of existing resources while producing an environment that attempts to provide the essential elements of an animal's original environment. If your future is to be a zoo animal you would want this to be your zoo. The animals look healthy and well cared for. There is an emphasis on animals from places such as Mauritius, Madagascar and Asia so don't be disappointed that you will not see zebra, giraffes, elephants or lions. But they do have gorillas and various monkeys that you do not see in most places. And many critically endangered critters for which they are running breeding programs. Humans are also well catered for being able to see animals well. There is a reason that this is one of Jersey's top attractions. My partner is a zoo addict so we have seen a few zoos. This one is world class and in my top 3. Well done!
