We haven't visited a zoo for many years.... simply not our thing, but a friend told us about Jersey. The zoo was fab. The staff giving the talks were great, particularly the tortoise 🐢 enclosure (Sam) and the Orangutan talk. Nice to see people so passionate about their roles

Nice little zoo. Quite hot so unfortunately kept some animals hidden. Loved the poison arrow frogs and the gentle Lemurs. Good gift shop.

Excellent zoo but not much animals to see. Really good to see the amount of conservation work the Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust are involved in. Very good, large enclosures for all the animals.

Great experience. Great Skeleton exhibition on at the moment with a woolly Mammoth. Love being a member as can visit whenever we want too.

Very interesting place to visit in a lovely location which easy to reach by bus. Good accessibility for the disabled but I would give yourself time to find where the keeper talks/ feeding events are taking place because signage could be better. If you want to hear the Orangutan talk you need to be on the peninsula between the two islands. It wasn't signposted from the path.

Large enclosures for the animals. Obvious TLC noticeable from staff for all the species they have in there.

Ok, for younger children. The bat and butterfly enclosures were very good. Shout out to the "Tortoise guy" who spent some time with us

Saw a couple of negative reviews, they are addressing the overgrown enclosures, we saw plenty of animals, not so many birds as some has complained about and to be honest, they are wild animals, they will be hard to see 😂. We were happy with what we saw and the staff were really helpful and polite. Great day out.

We had a nice walk around the zoo, unfortunately and sadly the gorilla house was closed due to a bereavement and we couldnt get to the flamingos due to the path being repaired so this was a big disappointment, thankfully we saw some orangutans which went some way to saving the day but had we known before paying the entrance fee that you couldnt see two of the major attractions we would have visited at another time. Its a small zoo and the bus service was not the best, sharing the bus with school groups was extremely cramped, all in all a bit of a disappointing day.

Such a good zoo and for such a good price! We spent about 4 hours there but could’ve easily spent all day.

Der Zoo ist bekannt für die Tiergerechten Gehege und die Bemühungen für den Artenerhalt. Sehr positiv haben wir die Talks mit den Tierpflegern wahrgenommen. Diese waren nicht nur seh informativ sondern auch unterhaltsam. Man spürt das Engagement der Mitarbeitenden. Was uns etwas enttäuscht hat ist, dass die Gehege zwar sehr gross sind und im Gehege sicher auch Tiergerecht, jedoch ist das Ambiente der Gehegebegrenzung teilweise etwas trostlos. Zum teil Betonwände oder Gehege in einem Plastikgewächshaus. Dieser Punkt ist in anderen Zoos besser. Wie gesagt, im Gehege drin ist es sehr ansprechend die Tiere sind in der Natur und können auf richtige Bäume klettern und durch hohes Grass gehen. Dies hat zu Folge, dass man das eine oder andere Tier nicht gut sieht, was wir aber sehr befürworten da die Tiere sich so auch zurückziehen können. Wir haben einige Stunden im Zoo verbracht und konnten es mit den genannten "Abstrichen" auch sehr geniessen.
