There is a bus direct to the zoo from St Helier bus station. Some buses take twice as long so look out for which bus is coming. I'd rather call this a conservation park than a zoo. It's a relatively small size. You can see everything and grab something to eat in about 4 hours. They have various keeper talks throughout the day. We saw the gorilla talk which was very interesting. Who knew gorillas don't like asparagus? You can tell the staff are passionate about conservation. There's a lot of unusual or lesser kept animals. They have fantastic habitats to live in. The orangutans were an amusing group to watch. The cafe at the entrance was amazing. The food tasted great and there was a good selection. They also had vegetarian and vegan deserts. Definitely recommend a visit!

Nice to visit a zoo that has different animals to tigers and giraffes, the bats were fantastic. The only negative point would be that people were smoking as we were walking around. A full day will spent, will visit again.

Lovely clean place, lots of animals to see. The lady in the bat cave told us all about the bats which was very interesting. It's a big place and a lot of walking. Very good for children to run around. Lovely picnic areas dotted around the zoo. Toilets are far apart not enough on there but they are clean.

Usually going to the zoo is not our thing, because we don't like to see animals eke out a miserable existence in a way too small cage.
But this zoo is (mostly) different. It's operating on the premise to provide survival for extremely endangered species. And to see two highly endangered types of bats flying around and eating their fruits from very close was a great experience.
Most animals looked happy and great including the orang utans in their large outside climbing area. The only real downers were the gorillas who didn't look too happy sitting in a plastic environment where their poo was lying around. My daughter pointed out that they had a door leading to their outer cage. But they still looked sad and bored.
The rest of the facilities is great and a lot to see. The staff was also very friendly and answering all the questions we had happily and patiently.
