It's a lovely zoo, and has been for a long time. Although you won't find larger animals like hippos, rhinos, elephants, giraffes etc, there are loads of equally fascinating animals to learn about and observe.
The atmosphere is more natural than any other zoo I've been to, and it's just a really good way to spend a day with family.

Prices are fairly high to get in, and food inside is also fairly expensive but the quality is very good. We didn't feel that we were being overcharged for what we had.

Highly recommended for families as a fun and memorable day out.

I rarely visit zoos as we prefer seeing animals in their natural environment. But this zoo is like no other - the founder Gerald Durrell has housed rare species that you cannot see in the other zoos. We saw capybara, golden poison frogs, orang-utans, gibbons, tamarins, sloths, rare birds, big butterflies, a gorilla, gelada. Be sure to visit the venue during the feeding time for a chance to see the animals more active (see photo attached). Entrance fee is £19.00, no need to book in advance.

Love the place ❤

Pricey but Great for kids. Lots to do

Amazing zoo unfortunately I got there in wrong season and weather like lots animals were hiding due cold and rain. Some of part are in reconstruction but It is what is it. But all over beautiful zoo with amazing experience like sloth so close they could do same with more animals like lemurs

Jersey Zoo is definitely worth a visit.

Decent enough place to visit.
Nice cafe and very good for young children

This is the best zoo in the world, and nothing will ever come close.

If you are unfamiliar with the life of Gerald Durrell, or any of his literature, this place represents the culmination of his ambitions for wildlife conservation. It places conservation work at the forefront of its reason for existence, which never detracts from the enjoyment a visitor will experience. By focusing resources on conservation areas with a high risk of potential damage to wild populations/habitat, a visitor may see animals they would never have seen before in a regular zoo.

Examples that come to mind would be the ‘Aye-Aye’ and the ‘Mountain Chicken Frog’, species that one would never see elsewhere and add to the overall uniqueness of visiting this zoo, yet they require no less help than any other species, perhaps even more. When you visit, you will see animals you haven’t even heard of, let alone seen in photographs.

Highlights for me include (but are not limited to) the ‘Jewels of the Forest’ and ‘Butterfly Kaleidoscope’ (where you step into their habitat with the animals, as opposed to observing them behind glass), the Tamarin Woods (named so because they swing right past you as you walk around the zoo!), and the Aye-ayes (make sure you stay to adjust your eyes to the dark).

There are also multiple keeper led activities throughout the day you can attend, usually based around feeding the animals. For this I would recommend the bats and otters!

You can also visit the ‘Gerald Durrell story’, and learn about the founder of the zoo and his life.

There is plenty of free parking at the entrance. There are 2 cafes, as well as a children’s play area, a gift shop, a camp ground and even a hostel. There are also gardens and an orchard, where keepers grow food for the animals.

As long as I visit Jersey I will visit this place. I hope it exists as long as there are species in need of it. 5 Stars!

Nice place to visit, larger than we thought. Whilst it’s winter, you can still see a number of animals. Our favourite was the orangutans, gorillas and giant tortoises. The tortoises came up to me, it’s like we became best friends 😆 - the only gripe was the price, should be a little discounted if a lot of the animals are not available to see. Cafe is excessively overpriced, almost £17 for sausage and mash!

It was very good
Had a drink in the cafe
Got a bus from the bus station

Jersey zoo was awesome, we didn't pre book tickets which wasn't a problem although we went out of season on a week day, me and family really enjoyed it and would highly recommend it especially as it is so reasonably priced.

Nice day out x

Very good

Hadn't been for 26yrs and it was fabulous to go again. The conservation they are doing is excellent.

Was really nice! A small zoo but lovely

Amazing place to visit.
It is a must if you're in Jersey

Visited on a Saturday and loved it. Incredible story behind the Zoo. Plenty to see and do. Cafeteria was lovely and had great choices in food and drinks. £12 entrance fee per adult. Didn’t rain so had plenty of time to stroll around. Bat smell was overwhelming so skipped them. Amazing place with great staff.

A lovely zoo with conservation at its heart. Well worth a visit when in Jersey.

First Zoo I have seen where I could see the animals behind the scenes. People are also able to see the conservation efforts first hand. A very special place. A must do.

Came with our 2yr old Granddaughter & we had an excellent time. The animals seemed happy & well cared for. The areas were clean & so close to us! Her favourite was the Giant Tortoises! Well worth the visit!

Would you believe it if I said there were animals at this zoo
Uhhh anyway I used to go here a lot. Very good *walks into the Mist*

Enjoyed our day at the zoo. Was bigger than we thought it would be and think the price is quite reasonable

A fantastic experience for all the Family if you visit Jersey you must visit Jersey zoo. Not like zoo's of old the enclosures are so open and separated open ground and lovely gardens. Plants trees lovely place to sit and chill Good places to eat Good food and service. Easy to get to good public transport.

Ein schöner Zoo, der sich besonders der Erhaltung gefährdeter Arten verschrieben hat. In einer schönen Parkanlage gelegen. Sehr empfehlenswert!

A lovely three hours.
