I absolutely loved the Bloom flowers, butterfly kaleidoscope and the kids enjoyed the very hungry caterpillar trail.

Our second visit to this zoo, our previous being in 1994. Although there were parts of the zoo that were very good, especially the orangutans, other parts left us feeling a little disappointed. There is currently a degree of disruption due to ongoing improvements to a number of the animal enclosures. Some additional enclosures have been added, but which were not included on the map as provided at the time. Recommend asking if there are any differences, closed enclosures etc on arrival, and also getting clarification on the precise location of any associated talks, we waited by the wrong enclosure for 15 minutes, and found a further tortoise enclosure later, which presumably is where we should have been waiting.

We bought tickets online and got two buses from St Brelade's Bay.<br>When we arrived we were told that a couple of areas were going through maintenance so we may not see these animals.<br>We saw some fab animals though, including birds, gorillas, snakes, toads, flamingos etc. and a lovely volunteer that we got chatting to pointed out a couple of marmosets that we would have missed otherwise.<br>Overall, a great spot to visit.

I am not a great fan of Zoos but this place has an international reputation and does amazing work. Having read so many of Gerald Durrel's books as a child, it was lovely to finally see the achievements of the Durrel Wildlife Conservation Trust in person.

Small zoo but definitely worth a visit, my husband has mobility issues and we hired a scooter I rang the day before to book, but really didn't need to as they have quite a few. Spent about 4 hours here. Seemed to be a lot of stuff for the kids to engage with.

Smart entrance, cafe & shop. But beyond that it's quite shabby & tired. Disappointed that there were very few animals visible during our visit.

A wonderful zoo. You can really sense the dedication of the staff to Durrell's ideal.

Fantastic set up where the animals are in environments close to their natural habits, with lovely gardens, lakes and woodland. Particularly loved getting close to seeing the gorillas, orangutans, meerkats and flamingos. There is also a fine exhibition on the life of Gerald Durrell and a very good cafe. Well worth a visit.

Bütün hayvanat bahçelerinde olduğu gibi burada hayvanlar kısitli alanda yaşiyor

It's not very nice and your conscience does bother you as regards animals in a zoo but these are retired, endangered, breeding programs to be re-populated or would be killed in the wild . It is also an education centre to make you aware of the importance of preservation and our need to protect our wildlife as we are on the road to extinction

Great place but seemed there was more land for the visitors to walk around in rather than the animals

Awesome day out. Obvious commitment to habit enrichment and top level animal welfare.

I loved the fact that jersey zoo was so different to most, usually you see a zoo and think of just the enclosures with the animals but all I could think of was how beautiful all the flowers was and the bonus was getting to see the animals too.
