Some of the animals they have are really different.

It was a very interesting experience.

No hot food again. Disposable plates abd cups, and cutlery, again. Not impressed.

Amazed with the flamingo's beauty 🤩🦩💖

I visited Jersey Zoo a few years ago for a wedding, and honestly, it was a blast. The exhibits kept me hooked, and the animals had so much space, I half expected them to RSVP to the wedding too!

What an amazing place, well worth going

An excellent place to visit and certainly not your typical zoo. Great to see conservation as the forefront of things.

A fantastic zoo, undergoing improvements to make it even better. Looking after and preserving animals otherwise threatened in their natural environment.

The Gorillas are a favorite

It was the most 'natural' zoo I've ever visited. They kept the animals as close to their natural habitats as possible, allowing them to roam freely outside the enclosures. It's amazing how they manage this and create an experience that truly lets visitors connect with nature

What a lovely zoo to visit on a beautiful spring morning. As we went in the off season the zoo wasn't busy. Booked tickets on line £20. easy check in and very helpful member of staff told us about the talks. We headed straight to the orangutang's and then the tortoise talks.
We then ambled our way around. Not the most extensive amount of animals to see (no lions, tigers, bear, elephants etc) but what they do have is very interesting. Only let down and it was quite a big one was the gorilla enclosure was being heavily modified which meant no access to see them. The bats exhibition was also closed.
The restaurant wasn't open but like I said it was the off season. The cafe was available if required.
The zoo looks fantastically maintained and the keepers showed a deep love and respect for their animals. Conservation is their number one commitment.
All in all a nice 1.5 - 2 hours was spent.
Free Parking on site and a massive charity warehouse is there to look around in the car park.
Oh, Jersey has a big population of Red Squirrels! See pic.

Lovely smallish Zoo

Visited Jersey Zoo on holiday after last going over a decade ago. One of the best Zoo’s I’ve ever been to. You can tell it’s a conservation centre first, and zoo experience second. They put the animals first. Learning about the story of Richard Durrell was fascinating.

There are so many animals to see, and the zoo keepers are all super friendly and welcome any questions, you can tell they really love their jobs.

I used to come here as a kid purely for the fruit bats and was saddened to hear they became ill and have now transferred out, but knowing they are prioritising them over the public being able to see them is so heartwarming, there’s nothing more if want than for those endangered bats to survive.

There’s 2 cafes on site with plenty of options. There’s also a gift shop on site which has so many good options, I made sure to buy plenty of gifts (for myself) to help support the zoo.

Highly recommended to any one visiting, solo or families alike. I recommend to pre book tickets a day before you go as you can get a discount. Great day out, you can spend hours here!!

Highly recommend a visit.

Some attraction's were not open interesting couple of hours good for kids

Fantastic experience visiting Jersey Zoo - A must for everyone visiting the Island.
Fantastic food and ALL staff are courteous and helpful 🇯🇪

Love this place, not so big you can't see the animals, not so small you worry about the space....just right. Not overcrowded, and nice to see what your money is being spent on. New animals due in 2026, so absolutely worth a visit or 2. Highly recommend.

Wwt day but still thoroughly enjoyable. See something new every time we come

Our is lovely to see all the endangered animals. We did miss seeing the gorilla's which would have been nice to see.

Really worth a visit. Animals, staff, facilities... all brilliant!

It's a shame we went there during the winter because we feel we missed like 1/4 of the exhibits but the otters, tortoises, and fearless butterflies made it all worthy.

Great day out. Wasn’t too busy which was nice. The Liberty buses stop right outside and don’t have to wait too long for them.

Two words: GO HERE. Although called a zoo, the facility’s focus is a captive breeding program for endangered species, with many animals released back into the wild. Moreover, it doesn’t really look like a traditional zoo because there are so few cages, and those that exist are generally discreet and filled with lush island greenery, which includes such temperate trees as bamboo and palms. Interestingly, some species dwell onsite with no visible means of confinement. Red-breasted geese wander the green, and a colony of Silver Marmosets lives in the trees (they are presumably tied to the zoo by the lure of free room and board). Talks on various animals are available throughout the day, the life and work of the zoo founder Gerald Durrell is featured, and there are regular special exhibitions (a breathtaking Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibit was in-house when we visited). All told, we found our zoo experience fascinating. As for practicalities: although there is a large parking lot, we found it just as easy to get there by bus (service on the island is excellent). The zoo’s many paths are well maintained and seem to accommodate wheelchairs easily, but navigating from enclosure to enclosure can sometimes be challenging (more signposts at junctions would be welcome, the large map boards throughout the area would benefit from being exact rather than artistic, and the zoo map app available on entry seems to be more capable of describing what one is seeing rather than providing succinct details on how best to get to it). The gift shop is large and well stocked, the restaurant menu comprehensive, and there are numerous picnic tables and benches on the property. The best advice, though is to budget enough time to visit. Although one reviewer advised 4-5 hours onsite. We arrived early and before we knew it staff members were shutting the doors behind us after a seven hour visit!

Jersey Zoo is absolutely fabulous. We visited as a group of adults with a three-year-old and it was a wonderful experience for everyone. The exhibits are beautifully designed and the animals themselves were incredible — I could happily have watched the orangutans and gibbons all day.

The keeper talks were a real highlight: engaging, informative, and clearly delivered by people who are deeply knowledgeable and passionate about their work, particularly at the orangutan house and the giant tortoise house.

We visited in winter, so not all animals were outside, but we were still able to see most of them and never felt we were missing out. The site is immaculately clean, well-presented, and extremely well cared for.

What really stands out is the conservation message — it’s profound, authentic, and clearly central to everything the zoo does. It’s obvious that Jersey Zoo plays a major role in important research and breeding programmes, and the impact of their work really comes through.

This is an absolute must-visit in Jersey. We were hugely impressed by the entire experience and would recommend it without hesitation.

Excellent presentation where the animals are fully respected. Great day out for all the family.

Best experiences for the family day out.

This was kind of a pilgrimage for me having been an avid reader of Gerry Durrell as a child, so being at the place he created was wonderful, even the weather was good. The animals were obliging in their making appearances and my son and I have a memory to share for years to come. It was worth making the trip.I will endeavour to visit again.

The animals are amazing & the infographics for all of them are informative & eye-opening, there is so much to see.

We had a great time just wandering around & taking in all the sights & smells of the zoo, every part of it was amazing & I can't wait to go back!

If you book online there is a discount, so we'll worth booking in advance.

The bus journey is lovely & doesn't take too long to get there, & the buses are quite frequent.

Interesting zoo with a good variety of animals. Easy to park and walk around. Interesting story of how the zoo came about and Gerald's life. It was raining when we went so we didn't stay as long as we could have done.
