Hiding animals didn’t dampen our spirits. Cute family out. We loved the Hungry Caterpillar trail, but loved the gift shop even more!
Would recommend for a couple of hours for all the family

Usual challenge with zoo's is luck for seeing some animals. Knowing Thier feeding times would have helped with this.

A lovely wildlife park with good, well established compounds for the animals. Plenty for children and adults.

Great place. This is not a ZOO, so do not expect to find tigers or elefants here This is a preservation fund. But there are plenty of other animals, big area. Cafe, facilities, gift shop

Wirklich toller Zoo. Bei unserem Besuch mit Raupe Nimmersatt als Thema durch den Park geführt. Sehr natürlich angelegte Gehege. Die Tiere muss man öfter suchen, da manchmal versteckt. Im Schmetterlinghaus sehr viele Falter vorhanden, die sich auch auf Hand setzen oder Obst, welches man hält. Wirklich empfehlenswert!

Lovely little zoo, no massive animals (bigs cats, bears etc) but all the animals seemed happy and the enclosures were some of the best I've seen

Outstanding morning at the Jersey zoo. Lovely big enclosures - nothing like zoos of yesterday. Well worth a visit. The Durrell story is inspiring. Great for young and old. Very educational.

Overall great place! We spent there more than 2,5 hours. Did not eat, just observed animals.Two things to mention. 1. Aye-Aye, who is promised to be displayed, is actually not. You step into dark room and see nothing....So, to be honest, they keep it in the Zoo, but not " display". 2. Bats' tunnel is closed for some reconstruction.....during the high season, summer kids holidays. It is obvious, that kids like such creepy stuff more than birds etc...

Wonderful zoo with plenty to see for all ages. Pleased to know they are still supporting projects in the wild and various breeding programs.
Several animals are more active in the morning, especially when they get fed, so easier to see.
Got to see the new giant otters who were enjoying their new enclosure and having a lot of fun in the water!

We spent seven hours at Jersey Zoo - it was a fantastic day out. There are so many fantastic animals to see, from the newly arrived otters to chimpanzees, orangutans, gorillas, reptiles, meerkats, flamingos and more. Mine and my daughter's favourite part was the wonderful Butterfly Kaleidoscope where there were so many different species flying around and - if you were lucky - landing on you. It was also extremely interesting to read about conservation expert Gerald Durrell who started the Zoo and changed the way Zoos operated. His life story is told in a designated room with boards to read and a multitude of photographs. The charity shop on the site to raise funds for the Durrell Trust is also amazing and returned on another day to visit that, spending an hour browsing its massive selection of preloved goods.

Needs more information about animals and a better map of how to navigate the place

A well ran/maintained zoo.
The family really enjoyed themselves and didn't want to leave the Butterfly zone.

A truly important zoo to visit with plenty of wildlife, but no large animals like elephants, rhjnos, giraffes, zebras or wild cats.

An Excellent day out for the family

Really nice zoo and friendly staff. The sloths were asleep so the chap showed us some pics in his home. Really nicely laid out and the enclosures were spacious, especially the otter enclosure. A couple of enclosures were closed which is expected.

Fantastic as usual

Great place to take the children, they had the hungry caterpillar trail on while we were there, which was very sweet. Quite a few of the animal enclosures were closed for upgrades, which was a shame but has to be done!

It is worth visiting, easy to get by bus, which run a regular service, around every 39 minutes.

Arrived there just as it was opening, walked around and didn't see many animals, but after wandering around and stopping for a coffee in the cafe we went for another walk around and by then there were many sightings of different animals, it is a good day out and they have a children's play area as well, the Gerald Durrell museum in the grounds is well worth a visit, the zoo is easy to get to by bus.. as is everywhere on Jersey.

Ich war enttäuscht. Viele Gehege waren leer.

Nicely curated Zoo but we didn’t see many animals in the exhibits. Sleeping? Hiding? Don’t know.

Fantastic day out.
Animal keepers very informative and knowlegable
Bring water if spending all day here as the cafe is long from the far end of the zoo.
