This Zoo was an amazing experience not only could you see the animals from various angles from high to low we also managed to catch a glimpse of the snow leopards feed. They have a great selection of animals which made a really good day out.

We took our little boy for his 6th birthday, one 5 hour journey and a vile hotel later we arrived and it did not disappoint!!! Not only are the enclosures immaculate, they are for the animals not humans and it shows compared to other places we have visited, we saw everything, and it was so refreshing seeing habitats created for each animal with enrichment in mind. The dinosaurs were an amazing bonus!! And we got to meet Aaron and Cam who were so kind to our little boy and took the time to speak to him and listen! Amazing value for money, super accessible for those with different needs !!

We visited Hertfordshire Zoo for our daughters 11th birthday along with our 15 year old son. Along with the zoo, there is also Dinosaur World. The dinosaur animatronics were some of the best we have seen and the 'selfie' opportunities were brilliant. The only negative for this was having to pay an additional £8 for the train ride which lasted 3 minutes. There was a shop in dinosaur world which had a wide variety of merchandise to suit all budgets. The zoo itself was brilliant, however if you are coming expecting to see elephants, rhinos and your typical zoo animals you will be disappointed. The species they did have were fantastic. Our daughter wanted to see the capybaras as she loves them. I wanted to see the meerkats and red pandas, we all wanted to see the sunbears (beautiful) and snow leopards (we didnt see them). There were raised platforms at certain exhibits which gave a different perspective and were accessible to all. The main zoo shop had an extensive range of merchandise , again to suit all budgets. The refreshments were reasonably priced, £7. 36 for 4 cans of drink. Toilets were plentiful and distributed throughout the park. There was a lovely undercover picnic area by the zoo shop. The quiet flight bird show was superb, especially for those with sensory needs (like our daughter) and made it inclusive and accessible to all.
One thing we would have liked to have seen was water stations where you could refill water bottles, especially for hot days like today. The only real negative for us was leaving the zoo to get back to the car park. We felt that crossing that road was a bit dangerous especially if you have really young children.

Hertfordshire Zoo is a great place to visit with so many wonderful animals and great dinosaur models. The food in the cafe is 10/10. There are so many great viewing points to see the animals! The animals look so happy all the time and are a lot of fun to watch!Visited on

I really wish we lived closer so we could come more often!

We travelled for 2 hours and it was well worth it. We spotted Aaron who was so kind to my son, having a photo and talking to him about their football teams. Both my kids love One Zoo Three and were excited to tell us parts of the zoo they’re recognised and the names of the animals.

So many different animals to see, we especially enjoyed the high walkthrough with the big cats and bears. The huge viewing windows were great.

The robotic dinosaurs were really excellent, the best we’ve ever seen.

The splash pad was a welcome break at lunchtime to cool off on a hot day.

We watched both bird shows and the staff were so knowledgeable. They happily answered our questions about the birds at the end.

If we lived closer we would definitely have annual passes.

Outstanding visit. Very helpful staff and great range of attractions and food for our party of 5, age range 74 to 16. Easy walk for all including 4 replaced hips. We would highly recommend it to everyone.

Great family day out, there are cafes/ stands and restaurants throughout the zoo with plenty of seating and benches across the zoo. In terms of their facilities, can't really complain.

The animals though, (maybe we just happened to go on one of those days) but it was rather disappointing. Some of the enclosures were empty and the ones that did have animals in them weren't really interested in doing anything. (Can't blame the animals, they're just being them) But you'd expect a lot of different species of animals there but there just wasn't a lot. compared to other zoos I've been to this just wasn't it.

All in all if you're looking for a day out, it's a decent place to go. If you're looking to see all types of animals then maybe look at other places.
