Lovely zoo, nicely set up and easy to go through as not too big. Lots of entertainment for kids as well, playgrounds and things to do.

As an adult I was disappointed. The dinosaur part of the zoo was brilliant but animal wise nothing to see. Zebra area was cut out zebra as were other animals. Saw one male lion in the distance, two camels nothing much else. Fine for little children as they like to run around. Lots of little school children who seemed to be enjoying themselves.

Brilliant Zoo!
We took our daughter for her 3rd birthday and she absolutely loved it. The animals, the very realistic dinosaurs, the outdoor play areas, the softplay. All were fantastic.
We went years ago when it was Paradise and it wasn't bad then but it has been significantly improved. I loved the animal enclosures being so spacious and the enormous windows so you have a really good chance of seeing the animals but they are not freaked out by being stared at, I think the glass is mirrored on the inside. I also liked the raised viewing platforms, just really well thought out.
The tickets are a little pricey but well worth it for a special occasion.
Thank you Hertfordshire Zoo.

We come here at least once a month as our children love it here. Great for a family day out and not too far from home. The Dinosaur section is a favourite for our family and also seeing the other zoo animals especially feeding times.

Wonderful knowledge and beautiful animals. Quiet overpriced for food drinks and metch,but I suppose most zoos are. Mainly come here for red pandas.

I went yesterday with my two kids and my husband and even though my husband told me was amazing ( we went before with the kids) I couldn’t believe it until I experienced it myself! It is probably my new favourite zoo, the toilets were clean and smell good, the dino part was just amazing! Everything about this Zoo you can tell is looked after! I wish people were a bit more kind and give better reviews to a business that is clearly looking after the details! Thank you for letting my kids live a beautiful experience with Dinosaurs.

It was wonderful to see the quiet zones and the offer of a free sensory bag for those who may need it. The kids loved the dinosaur park and train. The zoo itself is small but well thought out and beautifully decorated.

We've been members for 2 years and it's always being updated/new additions being added. The kids just love it! A shame members lost perks like the golf/train ride etc so we're not sure about renewing it a for a 3rd year but the zoo itself is great.

Went to the zoo with my Husband and Baby for one of their Summer Nights Experience. The zoo itself was great but very busy. Very disappointed though, we were directed into the overspill carpark where we then were expected to cross a 60 mile an hour main country road with no crossing, no traffic lights, no warning signs and no lights to help you also with a curve in the road where you can’t see all the way down. It also looks like it might be part of the park so young families crossing that road might not realise the danger. Very very dangerous and unacceptable, a potential fatality waiting to happen. I raised it to the zoo and they said they were aware of how dangerous it was but the council had failed to act to make it safe. Especially if opening the zoo in the evening there needs to be large warning signs, lights and wardens to assist and guide in that area. Pricing was around £30 for us both which was quite expensive but did enjoy the zoo itself.

As first time visitors we didn't know what to expect however we were pleasantly surprised and were very impressed with the Zoo. We were lucky to see a lot of the animals. The Zoo was very clean and we would return.

Great Zoo with enthusiastic staff. Enclosures have great views so you're almost guaranteed to see the animals.

An amazing experience visiting Hertfordshire Zoo. The staff were so warm and friendly, and the animals were all well cared for. We certainly will be back.

We have a season ticket here and for a 4yo, it's money very well spent. There are lots of animals to see plus the new addition of the goat petting area is very engaging for the little ones.

What a lovely zoo! The animals looked well kept and content. The zoo works hard to cater for its guests. Lots of picnic areas, undercover and in the sun. Plenty of food, drink and icecream outlets. Play areas for all ages of kids. Plenty of toilets (and nice and clean). The raised viewing areas means it's easier to see shy animals without being in their face. Fantastic birds display. And a dinosaur walk! We had a lovely day out!

Have visited twice in the past 6 months. Great selection of animals to see, lovely play areas and most appealing for our family is the Dinosaur themed area which is what we have come to visit the zoo especially for for a dinosaur loving 2 year old.

An excellent day at Hertfordshire Zoo. Staff were great and everyone who saw our child’s birthday sticker (free from ticket office) wished them Happy Birthday! It made the day really special!
Lots of places to stop and sit/eat/drink. Plus the loos were clean.
It never felt crowded because there are multiple places to view animals from - so you don’t have to all crowd at one place to get a good view like you do at some wildlife parks.
Crazy golf was a hit with whole family and the dinosaurs “were better than I expected” which anyone who has a teenager, or once was one, will know is high praise from a teenager!
Shops had a great range of items. Youngest enjoyed the outdoor play equipment and teen also tried the long slides and the small climbing wall. Would be good to have even more of the bigger kind of equipment suitable for adults / older teens like monkey bars as I’m sure they’d be use d.
We hadn’t realised there was the new Boulders Bay, so next time will bring paddling things for youngest.

What a great zoo! So many animals to see. Every zone is close by so kids would not feel tired from walking around. Highly recommend visiting

What an incredible little zoo this is, it was our first experience today and we can’t wait to visit again. Very well thought out layout and easy to get around, my praise goes out to the Sampson family for creating such an amazing place for both animals and guests.

This was my first time visiting this zoo. I thought the overall appearance of the zoo was very attractive and you can see they have spent a huge amount of money on it recently with all the new fencing, the gibbons and the lion enclosure. The public areas and signs were really well done and fun to look at when no animals could be seen. The biggest down side was the size of the enclosures were very small for many of the animals, particularly the red panda and penguins but also marmosets, sloths and snow leopard. Hopefully, these will be upgraded next. Also, the viewing was mostly through glass. This made it very difficult to see the animals on a sunny day due to reflections. It also felt like the animals were quite boxed in with no views out, in particular the bears, penguins and jaguars. The bird show and the native species section however were really nice. A small zoo, but I spent 4 hours revisiting the enclosures in the hope of seeing everything.
