Reviews are highly subjective by nature, but I must admit, as an animal lover this one will be inherently biased.
Located in the north east of Jersey a bus journey was all that was required to get to the zoo from Saint Helier. Car parking was there for those travelling via car.
At reception we was greeted by a very friendly advisor who gave us the tickets, the map and the run down of the place.
Upon leaving reception it's really up to you what path you decide to take. The animals are located all around the Zoo and you can view them in the order you please. There really is a variety of animals to view. From Gorillas to Butterflies, from Bears to lizards, from Meerkats to Aye-Ayes. It really is quite an eclectic collection. The Gorillas were fascinating to observe and so were the orangutans. In addition, the animal talks we attended were fun and informative. There was even a chance to ask the workers questions at the end of the talk. Also, the enclosures for all the animals were all very aesthetically pleasing.
In particular I enjoyed the immersive experience of the Butterfly Den. Although, I must admit my glasses did not appreciate the humidity... However, the whole concept of it was brilliant.
There are two cafes located in the zoo. One is along the trail and the other is located at the entrance, by the gift shop. We visited the one along the trail and it hit the spot. A light lunch and drinks for a fairly reasonable price.
To conclude, I have a lot of fond memories from my trip to Jersey Zoo. The keepers were all friendly, the animals were all clearly well looked after and the whole experience was informative, yet entertaining. A great day out for all age ranges.

Nice smaller zoo, the zoo has a large collection of endangered animals and participates in conservation work, the staff are friendly and welcoming, the dining options in the park are good, but watch out for the gulls as they can be pretty sneaky when stealing your sandwich

Great zoo, bringing back some memories of times when I was reading Durrell's book. A bit disappointed by the lack of visibility of some of the iconic lemurs, and their aging enclosures.

Really enjoyed the talks given by the various keepers. Very informative and their enthusiasm was infectious. The grounds were well kept offering plenty of seats to observe the animals. The café had a lovely selection of snacks and the staff were very friendly and helpful.

Many interesting creatures, each there for the benefit of their species rather than for human benefit, yet very family-friendly and lots of space to walk fascinate relax eat.

One of the largest zoo I've been to with conservation in mind. Watched the video of conservation around the world. Allow at least 4 hours if you are not going to rush through. Lots of play areas for children. Still worth a visit in the rain. It was raining today.
