We had a fantastic day out at Hertfordshire Zoo and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great family experience.
First impressions were excellent – the car park was well-organised and easy to navigate, which made arriving stress-free. The entrance process was smooth and efficient, and we were quickly on our way to exploring. Every member of staff we encountered was incredibly helpful and friendly, which really added to the welcoming atmosphere.
The grounds were clean, tidy, and clearly well cared for, with a great selection of animals to see. There was plenty to keep us engaged throughout the day, and everything felt thoughtfully laid out.
A real highlight was Dinosaur World – it was absolutely outstanding and a big hit with everyone in our group. Another standout experience was the bird of prey demonstration, which was both very informative and enjoyable to watch.
Overall, it was a brilliant visit from start to finish. We would definitely recommend Hertfordshire Zoo and will certainly be returning again in the future!

An really good family day out. We were lucky to go on a lovely sunny day in the school holidays and spent the whole day there from 10.30 until 5pm. The keepers we spoke to were wonderful with our two children, answering their questions and asking their own to find out what our kids were interested in. Yes, the food and drinks are a little pricey and the Rex Express train isn't good (at £2 per passenger, no leg room and a long queue - caused by the fact the driver had to take payment and get everyone seated by themselves), but all in all our kids loved the dinosaur world and playground areas. Our favourite parts of the day were the keeper talks and sticking around until late in the day made it feel like we had the place to ourselves. If you're not in a rush, make sure you stay until at least 4.30, when it's quieter and you can get the best views of the animals. Yes, it's an expensive day but it's worth it and we'll be back... we might just bring a picnic and skip the train next time.

First time back with our young Grandson, after a 10 year gap.
He absolutely adored the Dinosaur park, so life like and real.
Although it was Easter Monday and very busy, there was plenty of room and easy to move from area to area.
Watching the Lions and Tiger enjoying the Spring sunshine made our day.
Well done to all involved, superb day out.

2nd time coming here, just as good as the 1st. Our two young kids absolutely loved the dinosaurs and found the zoo animals amazing. They made the most of the playground and the soft play and didn't want to leave. Staff are very friendly and helpful especially the security guard in the dinosaur shop. Would highly recommend for a family day out

We had a great time at the zoo. Lovely to see how happy and well looked after the animals are!
It was the first time I have been since it was Paradise and I was amazed at all the updates!
We came with my sister who is disabled, they have changing places with left and right handed transfer to proper changing beds with hoists which a lots of places do not have!
All staff were very approachable, helpful and friendly.
It was just amazing, we cant wait to come again!

Very nice zoo. Enclosures are nice sized and the park was clean and tidy.
Only down side was the slow waiting time for food and drinks. The staff seemed unbothered.

I went with my 22-month-old son. It's best to arrive around 10 a.m. for convenient parking. The dinosaurs alone are worth the price of admission, honestly; Ryan loves it! We saw many animals that captured our attention, especially tigers and lions, although they weren't very active, but we were able to appreciate their beauty. Overall, it's a great place to spend half a day with an infant, or even the whole day when he's at least 3 or 4 years old. Today was a special day for us, as we met Paddington Bear at the zoo event. We can't wait to go back!

Absolutely loved visiting Hertfordshire Zoo, my boys and I had the best time. We had a meet and greet with the brothers and it made our day. The cleanest, well kept zoo I have ever visited. The animals are very looked after and the staff are very attentive and friendly. The dinosaur area is something else, we couldn’t believe how big they are and the movements and music as you walk around is very impressive. If you haven’t already visited: it’s a must x

A very good family day out. Could have done without the canned music everywhere though.

Great day out, most areas are clearly very new and updated with great visibility of the animals. Keeper Paul very kindly let us into a keeper area outside the hornbill house to have a look at them through the window because we couldn’t see them from outside, really made our day!
There’s also signs indicating environments that might be difficult for people with sensory issues (eg crowds or warm areas), great accessibility initiative.
Loved the UK species conservation as well.

This zoo was amazing! It has 2 distinct areas. One displaying dinosaurs both real and fictional from several different periods. The dinosaurs were animatronic which was exciting and scary at the same time. The other area is a zoo with several animals and talks. The park was well laid out and had very knowledgeable staff. An absolute must visit for kids of all ages!

Came as a chaperone on a school trip. The educational talks were fantastic and the layout of the zoo meant we were able to see everything at a good pace! Wonderful zoo.

The zoo is fantastic. Lots of information lots to do. We travelled a few hours to get here. The only down side is it is a cashless venue and nowhere I can find on the website tells you that. Not until you arrive at the ticket booth. Luckily I did bring a bank card as I quite often don’t. As my children would have been devastated not being able to go in. The website says all major forms of payment excepted and there is nothing in the facts of needing to know. Very disappointing as we couldn’t really eat or do much once entering the zoo as most things apart from the animals you have to pay for and card only. (apart from the aquablaster which excepts cash)

Plenty for the kids to get involved
