Some beautiful animals and interesting information about the founder Gerald Durrell. There appears to be a lot of work underway in improving the enclosures, which is good but limits what can be seen.
(The cafe area is extremely noisy and busy but that is due to the indoor play area!)Overall a wonderful, relaxing place to visit., beautiful grounds.A very good gift shop.

Amazing zoo. Animal's welfare definitely comes first unlike other zoos. Beautifully designed.
Highly recommend the Bat Roost and Gerald Durrell Story exhibit.
Keepers were super friendly and we felt privileged for many long one to one conversations in which they shared their passion and outstanding knowledge of their animals.
Dodo Cafe was clean and staff welcoming. Lovely Gift Shop too.
This zoo visit was a highlight of our holiday.
THANK YOU

Essential if you like Durrell.
Prioritize the well-being of the animals (large facilities, with vegetation...) over what they see first. I'd rather spend 10 minutes looking for an animal and know that the facility meets its well-being than having a 2x2 cube and seeing it the first time.

Very friendly staff. Clean, naturalized facilities, respectable with the environment and animals. He gets involved and participates in many conservation projects.

We did the bat interaction and loved it.

It's everything a zoo should be. Animal welfare takes precedence over the public.

A marvel

We were able to hire a disability scooter. This was very helpful for my husband for getting around. Some compounds looked empty.Visited on

Visited on a warm & sunny day - perhaps too warm for some of the larger animals, who tended to stay indoors resting. The rest still good to visit. The cafe is OK but during our visit, too many young children (under school age) running about in and around the play area uncontrolled, screaming for no good reason, as none were in danger but seemingly the parents or guardians impervious to the noisy disturbances. Best to go later in the day.
