Excellent if small zoo. They appear to have mainly gone for animals that do not need to roam as they do not have the vast spaces Whipsnade has.
Do not ignore the dinosaurs over the road from the animals, they were epic!

Love this place- taken the kids several times and they love it more each time. The new lion & bear areas were fab. Clean & tidy and well run with friendly helpful staff everywhere.

We booked to visit the zoo as we had got tickets to the Warner brother studios and booked a hotel, realising this was near by it was a must for us. Firstly our children love one zoo three so seeing where it was filmed was a yes from them. We arrived first thing and had no issues with parking, we had pre paid for tickets online and it was easy to scan in. We explored the dinosaur area first and then enjoyed the talks around the zoo which were all very informative and a great way to teach our children even more about the animals they were seeing. On the day we had booked it was later announced that Aaron, Tyler and Cam would be three so that made our children even more excited to meet them in person. We did wait in line for almost two hours but the kids played and ate during this time and I must say it was worth it. They were so lovely and friendly answering the kids question.
The zoo is beautiful, the layout, the displays of plants around and the enclousures all are well looked after and to high quality and the keepers and staff were all amazing. There was a good range of food and drinks around that were reasonably priced and there is a little gift shop which had nice items in. If we were closer I would for sure buy membership for the year, however two and a half hours is a bit far each way for us! We look forward to returning in the future and continue to follow the zoos excellent work on social media and one zoo three is a very loved and watched program still! Also to be noted that it’s a great price for a day out and offers a great playground as well as a splash area as well. Fab day - don’t hesitate to go and watch the bird show and time the talks so you can benefit from the fab knowledge! The summer evenings on offer atm look fab! Again if only we were closer!

Wonderful visit again. Grandchildren love it all. The dinosaurs, the little train ride and the zoo. What a lot to do in one day. The food in the restaurant at the beginning of the zoo entrance never fails to impress. Always a great selection and tasty.

Visiting with our kids, who are avid One, Zoo, Three fans, it was fantastic to see the zoo firsthand. Lots of happy looking animals in clean and modern enclosures. We had a fabulous day.

We loved this zoo, it truly is excellent
The zoo is relatively flat so nice and easy to get around
What we loved is that once you arrive, the zoo and the staff don't take the p*ss at all, the maps are included, the mini golf is a great price and so nice and tucked away, the absolute HIGHLIGHT is the sun bear bakery. The lady that works in there (Friday 6th June) is so friendly and the view of the sun bears is our of this world. Other establishments would have charged a ridiculous additional cost for 'dining with the bears' and we respect that so Hertfordshire Zoo haven't done that so much

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.
