Always a worthwhile visit. So many amazing creatures. Highlight for me just has to be the orangutans and gorillas!

Mittelgroßer Zoo, sehr liebevoll eingerichtet, große und naturnahe Gehege

I found this zoo overrated and overpriced for it's size/facilities. My children love capybaras and we tried to buy the capybara experience, unfortunately there is a limitation on age (my youngest is 6) so we didn't go forward with this. Overall the zoo is clean and well laid out and a way to keep children entertained for a few hours, wouldn't return though.

We did the meerkat experience with Sam, he was very knowledgeable and was very interesting. We got hands-on experience preparing the meerkats food and got to enjoy feeding them, whilst Sam told us amazing facts about them. I would really recommend doing this experience. The zoo itself was generally a nice day out. Very well kept, clean. There were good viewing points for all of the animals. Interesting information on Gerarld and his life. One thing to note is that this zoo prioritises conservation, so do not expect to see the big ticket animals like other zoos, i.e., lions, elephants, etc.

Fantastic zoo with great enclosures for the animals so they all looked like they had plenty of space and weren't cooped to. Seeing the orangutans was amazing

No wait when we got there. Used prebooked tickets made it easy, walking around following the route managed to see all of it . Got there early enough to see feeding time for most of the animals , Gorilla's and Orangutan's enclosure's just give you a sense of how awesome they are!!

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.
