Lovely zoo in a countryside setting. The staff were very friendly and the animals all seemed very looked after. Some of the animals (cats) could really do with larger enclosures.
Great place to spend a few hours with the kids. When they're over seeing all the wonderful animals there's a splash park and adventure playground to entertain them too!

I bought the Big Cats Tour for a friend for Xmas and was THOROUGHLY impressed! Our tour guide Shirley was an absolute asset to the park! We were told the timing would be an hour but we over ran due to here pure enthusiasm for the big cats - she knew her stuff and said it with pride! The cafe at the end was brilliant with a fantastic view of the tigers! My only thing would be to say so plain ham sarnies (but that’s cause I’m a fussy bugger!) - otherwise an excellent selection of sarnies, cakes and scones! Would definitely recommend!

My wife and I visited for a special treat. We had a guided tour of the big cat enclosures and finished with afternoon tea overlooking the Amur tiger enclosure. The keeper who did the tour was excellent. She really knows her subject and clearly loves the big cats.
These tours can be booked in advance and if you really like zoos, this is for you. My treat was booked through Virgin but I think you can do it direct with the zoo.
The zoo is child friendly with plenty of entertainment for them. There are some really lovely enclosures and the investment is obvious. Treat yourself to a visit.

Took my 3 year old grand daughter for her first big day out with grandad. She loved it which is the main thing I guess. Fairly easy to find, fairly easy to park, spotless facilities, plenty of photo opportunities. Plenty of up close opportunities (the Meercats were an especial like). Compact yet designed to give the illusion of bigger space. Gift shop located off piste so none of that Alton Tower / Disney opportunist selling tat at every corner. Nice childrens playground to let off some steam before returning to car. Food was the usual sub Mickey D's fry and warm but decent portions and not so expensive that I felt fleeced. All in all a very good day out and one that will be repeated next year with granddaughter 2...

Kids love it here

Interesting fine assortment of wildlife from birds to lions and a variety of shows throughout the day. Many activities and play areas for children well patrolled.A fine selection of foods and buffet in the marquee as well as public conveniences in more than one place. Pricey however if you have a family and wanting a day out. Single adult starts at £19.80 with discount for senior citizens 60 and over. However there are extras to pay for kids rides etc.

It would get 5 stars but I spent around 100 quid for 3 of us. Seems a bit much for a day out in broxbourne.

My husband invested in a primate experience for us and I was absolutely delighted. We arrived early as our tickets included full admission to the park. As it was midweek and off season we were a little disappointed that many attractions and features weren't open, in particular the woodland walk. But any disappointment was completely overwhelmed by the amazing experience we had in general at the park. I have never seen such well cared for or healthy looking animals at a zoo or wildlife park. Ever. That is a pretty big statement because I have travelled to some impressive facilities in the U.K. And abroad. Every animal, despite having small enclosures, had incredibly clean and well appointed areas with ample safe space to shelter from the public. Plenty of enrichment was available such that even the big cats, of which there are many spectacular examples, all looked happy and without stress. We attended a number of talks thoroughly the day which were all engaging, informative and really engaging. Staff were very helpful in explaining the exceptional circumstances some of their animals came from, and how they were accommodated at the park. Our primate experience was icing on the cake of what was an incredibly worthwhile day. We travelled all the way from Devon and were not disappointed. Is highly recommend it to anyone. And as for negative reviews, merely ask the staff about animal welfare if you are concerned about the size of any enclosure or any animal behaviour. You will learn more and come away completely reassured. Best small zoo I've ever seen. Thank you for an amazing day!

I have taken part in various animal experiences, but the Red Panda feeding must be one of the best. Firstly, two of the friendly Zoo staff took me to the food preparation area where we collected dishes of fruit and some bamboo, and then we went to the red panda enclosure. The two pandas came down immediately, and I fed them apple slices. Such gentle creatures, They took each piece delicately from my fingers, sometimes holding on with their paws to steady themselves. The two staff members answered all my questions and explained all about the red panda, the breeding policy etc. I thoroughly recommend this Red Panda experience. You need to book in advance, either by email or by phone.The ticket entitled me to spend the rest of the day at this super zoo, watching tigers, zebras, lions and lemurs. Excellent.

You get the best value for money if you come after 3pm, at which time the gate price goes down to £5.50 per person. Note, though, this promotion isn't applicable on bank and school holidays.
You can get really close to the big cats, more so than at any other zoo.

We visited this park for a big cat feeding experience given to me as a birthday present. The park is clean and lots to do. Ian the Lion keeper was extremely knowledgeable and we learnt lots about the lions. I decided to feed Moto the white lion, he was just beautiful. After a safety talk the feeding began. I cannot describe the feeling of being so close to this stunning boy, to feel his tongue, tooth and breath on my hand was incredible. Would definitely recommend this for any big cat lover. An experience I will never ever forget. Thank you Ian.

Fantastic Experience

Bring from Kent I hadn’t heard of this place, but a friend recommended and we visited Saturday morning, only an hour drive,
When we arrived about 1030 the park was fairly quiet, really clean throughout, and nearly all the animals were up and about, all enclosures and habitats looked great aswell,
We paid £52 for a family pass online which is a lot cheaper than many other zoos, we took our own picnic and the kids loved playing in the many parks after we looked at all the animals,
Only small downsides were woodland trail was shut, and all the machines for the kids rides only accepted the old pound coins which we didn’t have any off but overall a very good park and we’d highly recommend, also the gift shop is very reasonable compared to normal gift shops.

Wowcher had been advertising a £29 for two adults through buy a gift online and decided to take the opportunity.
Because my partner has never seen a white tiger before, I knew this would be the perfect place to show him and boy was my partner in for a treat. Baikal is absolutely stunning, my partner described him as one of the biggest tigers he's ever seen. It was a shame to see Baikal alone in his penn. Having walked around the other side to where Baikal was, Rocky, Siberia and Aleena were altogether having an exploring expedition. Amongst the gorgeous tigers, amazingly there were 2 beautiful jaguars (very shy, bless them!!!) they're patterned skins alone are just incredible!! Then we both come across sleepy Jessie and Punja, the fluffy snow leopards. :-) Apart from the big cats there are also coatis, raccoons, meekats. For an additional £1 per bag, you can feed the following animals, sheep, alpacas, wallabys, goats and farm type mammals. However, I was disappointed that we couldn't get to see the Egyptian Fruit Bats, this is due to the fact that the bat house is currently under construction at this present time. Another disappointing factor was that of the European Wolves, as myself and my partner felt they did not have enough room to "swing a cat" Would love to see them in a much bigger environment!!
