So relaxing to spend time with the animals. New gorilla area is fantastic. Usually take my own food so can’t comment on cafe but generally everyone is happy to answer questions and I think the annual pass is great value. Great day out.

What an amazing day out. The work they are doing for the conservation of these wonderful animals is amazing. The new gorilla house is stunning. It's lovely and clean with great facilities and the gift shop is really reasonably priced just like the entry tickets. Lots of places to sit and eat a homemade picnic if you dont want to spend the extra on on-site food.

Lifelong fan of Gerald Durrell and his work. The visit tot the day today met all of my expectations about man and the work that he did, which goes on today.
A true national hero and the zoo is a national treasure.

Magnifique zoo, nous avons passé une superbe après-midi à le visiter: nous le retrouvons aussi attrayant après l'avoir visité il y a vingt ans! Un total respect pour son créateur dont nous avons suivi l'histoire en livre et dans l'excellente série télé : la trilogie de Corfou!

Good zoo, a wide variety of animals. Good playground for the kids. When we went, there wasn't much to see but it's a nice walk with kids on a pram etc.

Such a beautiful zoo, thoughtfully run with a genuine conservation focus.
The talks were incredibly informative and brilliantly delivered.
Thank you so much.

This was our third visit over several years and always find that this a better site than many other zoos. However it is staring to look tired. Many paths uneven and many enclosures need maintenance. Even if you are rewilding you need to maintain enclosures. This is a great site and we hope it will not be allowed to decline.

Interesting background and committed to supporting endangered wildlife. Although some enclosures empty and overgrown could benefit from some TLC but still worth a visit

Incredibly expensive for what it is

Arrived late morning. I recommend buying tickets a day or more in advance as that is when they are cheapest. Buying online on the day is a bit more expensive, but still cheaper than buying on site.
The grounds are beautiful to walk around and a welcome bonus to seeing all the animals. Whilst a small zoo compared to other more international destinations, my wife and I still spent several hours here walking around. Our personal highlight was the aviary you could walk through to see lots of Asian birds. I loved the java sparrow when it did appear.
Near the entrance is a lovely picnic area with the resident red-breasted geese chilling and relaxing on the grass. The cafe in the entrance sells takeaway coffee in case you need a pick-me-up before beginning your tour. Just remember to wear loose/baggy clothes as the reptile area, tortoise tunnel, and butterfly area are very warm inside! And if you have time, definitely take some time to visit the on-site charity shop. Got a few bargains to take home 😄

Beautiful experience!

One of the best zoos I’ve been too. Smaller zoos show that it’s not about the animals they have but how it’s done. The whole zoo is so beautiful. The prettiest zoo I’ve ever been to. Walking around alone is worth it. The enclosures here are so big. The animals have so much space. You can tell it’s not about amusement but education and conservation. The talks were also informative and educational. Would definitely recommend. It was the highlight of our holiday

I have mobility issues and was persuaded to use a mobility scooter. My travels around the zoo were stressless because of this, making the whole trip brilliant.

I love this zoo, now I do live just a 3 minute drive away, so that’s convenient but still it’s easy to spend a day out there without getting bored. There’s so many different animals that you can get really close to and there is also two restaurants to choose from, one in the entrance and the other inside the zoo which has a play area which really good for kids. There’s is also lots of exhibitions that definitely make it not the same thing again again.

Great zoo, not too many animals but still worth the visit, charity shop is great, only issue is the gift shop was super expensive but the stuff was beautiful.

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!
We had a discount as they closed Gorilla & butterfly part. Kids would love it.
