Magic place! Animals are kept in a very tidy and clean environment.
I am not usually a fan of caged creatures but here I could tell they look constantly after them.
Friendly staff and great playground for little ones

I can never understand why there's always an extra charge for the train, just include it in the gate price!
Also you will sell a lot more food and drink if the prices are reasonable, £2.49 for a tea? £2.99 for a coke !
Food was expensive aswell, tables not clean, bins full and never any sugar replenished, when you pay this sort of money you at least expect clean areas to eat.
Definitely take your own food and drink, zoo was good, paddling pool looked good and dinosaur area was good as well, just that attraction way of ripping you off with the extras and food and drink

First time visiting Hertfordshire Zoo, we travelled up from Cornwall to take our son here for his 3rd birthday. The zoo is pretty big, lots to see and do. Little train, play park, slides etc. lots of outdoor and indoor seating areas. The food we had was underwhelming, tables not clean and some of the toilets we used were not very clean throughout, overall was a nice family day out.

A nice zoo with the bonus of a rather good dinosaur tour as well.

Amazing family day out!
We had a fantastic time at Hertfordshire Zoo. The park is very clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully laid out. There’s a huge variety of animals — from big cats and monkeys to reptiles and exotic birds — all looking healthy and well cared for.
One of the highlights is the World of Dinosaurs near the entrance — a brilliant, interactive trail featuring life-sized animatronic dinosaurs that move and roar! Kids absolutely loved it.
There’s also a great café with a good selection of hot food, drinks, and snacks, plus plenty of places to sit and relax throughout the park. You can tell the staff really care about the animals and the visitor experience.
Highly recommend for families or anyone who enjoys animals and nature. Definitely one of the best zoos we’ve been to!

What a gem of a zoo! My adult son and I visited here for the first time - both being regular zoo goers, and having recently been to Colchester, London, Berlin and Tier Park zoos.
This zoo has some lovely animals to view, with highlights being the snow leopard, and sun bears. The jaguars, lions and tigers are all amazing too.
We really enjoyed the viewing options. Many of the animals can be viewed both at ground level, and via raised platforms - this felt like a real standout for the zoo. There are also indoor areas, such as the reptiles and small mammal rainforest house, which were nice, albeit busy on a bank-holiday Friday!
The zoo felt well maintained, and the design throughout felt cohesive. There weren't any shabby areas - it all felt well maintained and like there has been good investment over time.
The animals were housed in large and enriching enclosures. The animals appeared happy, with no worrying behaviours observed. Loved seeing the sunbear enjoying a back scratch up a tree!
The zoo offers plenty of education about conservation and feels like a very progressive zoo. We watched the bird display, which was well choreographed.
The dinosaur park was also very good and a definite fun addition for dinosaur enthusiasts!
No real negatives at all! The car park was quite small, and I wonder what will happen if guest numbers increase? The cost was comparative to other zoos, in an ever increasing cost of living crisis. I'd love to see a separate cheaper gate price for those just wanting to visit the dinosaur park and not the zoo.
Overall - a really lovely zoo that has a lot to see in a smallish footprint. Well kept and clean, with animals that appear well cared for. Well done. I can't believe we'd not visited before, and will definitely consider another visit in the future.

My Lo is 3y old and loved the dinosaur part.
The playground is also great. Animal side as well but our 3y old definitely preferred the dinosaur bit. They also have a splash pool for the summer

Visited on Good Friday with friends and small children (3 families total). Fantastic day was had by all, and cannot recommend it enough. I have been to a lot of family theme parks/zoos in the UK and this is one of the top experiences in my book. As everyone else has said, this is a lovely, well planned, clean zoo. The things that make it stand out for me are:
• Plentiful, free parking.
•Well laid out, easy to get around. Park is not too small, or too big. So as not to be too overwhelming for a day trip. Ideal for small children.
•Barely any queues for anything despite being busy (a major plus!!)
•Plenty of picnic seating throughout the park. Not forced to buy their food, which helps make it more affordable.
•No vending machines selling toys or games.
•Not being forced to 'exit through the gift shop' thereby being able to leave calmly without dragging overtired whining children away from rubbish they don't need!
•STAFF - everyone was polite, friendly and informative.
•The animals! Nice of selection of very well cared for animals in spacious enclosures. Visibility is great with floor to ceiling glass and viewing platforms.
•Animatronic dinosaurs! What child (young or old) doesn't love a dinosaur?!
Fab day. Hope to return.

Went on a slightly drizzly day in the Easter holidays. Enjoyable experience for 3yr old and adults. Wasn't crowded mainly due to the weather. Best bit for 3yr old was the dinosaur train and sand pi. Best bit for adults was the dino walk. Could have spent longer. Knowledgeable friendly keepers, genuinely proud of what they do. Will visit again.

One of our favourite zoos in the UK. My nephew loved his junior keeper experience on this visit, Kara was amazing at answering his questions and showing him what it's like to be a keeper, definitely fueled his interest in becoming a keeper one day himself.

Great place to spend a fantastic family day.

Really well thought out Dino park with some nice touches. The animatronics are good too and most models move and they are pretty much to scale. The zoo is well laid out and lots of eateries on the path too with talks about animals at set intervals. There is a short train ride in the park and a show for younger kids on a stage. Food is not cheap (where is these days) but tasted good and portions were not small. Parking was ample and upon entry to car park I was asked if I was a blue badge holder (I'm not) but I thought was also a plus. My 7 year old loved every minute and wants to go back even though we completed the whole park in 4-5 hours.

Best zoo in the country! I've been to many over the years with my children and this was the best! Very clean, great facilities, friendly staff, price was reasonable. Much more level and less spaced out than many out there, animals looked very healthy and looked after, please see my photos.

Had a lovely sunny day yesterday with 2 young children. So much to do, here’s summary of our day:
- Rex-Express train around dinosaur park
- Easter bunny show
- fire engines in play area
- lunch (good value and great food, pasta bolognese was yummy)
- amazing zoo - various keepers doing talks
- ice cream
- happy, tired trip home
What really makes this place is the quality - staff are so friendly, layout easy to get round, zoo is exceptional and well-cared for animals, lot of thought and hard work gone into premises and signage and very clean (eg guy was constantly cleaning in the cafe). Thank you for our lovely day out.
Could easily keep coming back so can see why membership is good value.
Tip: picnic areas available for own food.

Wow how this has changed from my youth. Expensive entry not sure it was worth the money, however grandkids loved it especially the Jurassic dinosaurs and splash park.
