Lovely day out, if you are on Jersey it's well worth a visit, the animals are well cared for and have lovely enclosures, the tamarin monkeys have the run of the woodland area, running free above your head.

Un superbe zoo à voir. Situé au centre de l'île, il promeut les espèces rares ou menacées.

The Jersey Zoo never lets us down, it’s the most beautiful zoo with such caring, knowledgable staff. It’s a wonderful home to all the animals and you know they are being monitored and looked after so well. We listened to a couple of talks one with the Orangutans 🦧 & the Warty Pigs 🐽. It was very interesting and informative thank you. We have been visiting the zoo over 20 years and always visit, when we are on holiday in Jersey. The staff from the front desk to the cafe had excellent customer service.

Delightful zoo with a strong conservation ethos. Fascinating history of Gerald Durrell and his family and other animals. Well worth a visit.

The most perfect place. We come here every year and it just gets better. Especially now they have sloths and the butterfly house.

It's a lovely zoo, and has been for a long time. Although you won't find larger animals like hippos, rhinos, elephants, giraffes etc, there are loads of equally fascinating animals to learn about and observe.<br>The atmosphere is more natural than any other zoo I've been to, and it's just a really good way to spend a day with family.<br><br>Prices are fairly high to get in, and food inside is also fairly expensive but the quality is very good. We didn't feel that we were being overcharged for what we had.<br><br>Highly recommended for families as a fun and memorable day out.

I rarely visit zoos as we prefer seeing animals in their natural environment. But this zoo is like no other - the founder Gerald Durrell has housed rare species that you cannot see in the other zoos. We saw capybara, golden poison frogs, orang-utans, gibbons, tamarins, sloths, rare birds, big butterflies, a gorilla, gelada. Be sure to visit the venue during the feeding time for a chance to see the animals more active (see photo attached). Entrance fee is £19.00, no need to book in advance.

This is the best zoo in the world, and nothing will ever come close.<br><br>If you are unfamiliar with the life of Gerald Durrell, or any of his literature, this place represents the culmination of his ambitions for wildlife conservation. It places conservation work at the forefront of its reason for existence, which never detracts from the enjoyment a visitor will experience. By focusing resources on conservation areas with a high risk of potential damage to wild populations/habitat, a visitor may see animals they would never have seen before in a regular zoo.<br><br>Examples that come to mind would be the ‘Aye-Aye’ and the ‘Mountain Chicken Frog’, species that one would never see elsewhere and add to the overall uniqueness of visiting this zoo, yet they require no less help than any other species, perhaps even more. When you visit, you will see animals you haven’t even heard of, let alone seen in photographs.<br><br>Highlights for me include (but are not limited to) the ‘Jewels of the Forest’ and ‘Butterfly Kaleidoscope’ (where you step into their habitat with the animals, as opposed to observing them behind glass), the Tamarin Woods (named so because they swing right past you as you walk around the zoo!), and the Aye-ayes (make sure you stay to adjust your eyes to the dark).<br><br>There are also multiple keeper led activities throughout the day you can attend, usually based around feeding the animals. For this I would recommend the bats and otters!<br><br>You can also visit the ‘Gerald Durrell story’, and learn about the founder of the zoo and his life.<br><br>There is plenty of free parking at the entrance. There are 2 cafes, as well as a children’s play area, a gift shop, a camp ground and even a hostel. There are also gardens and an orchard, where keepers grow food for the animals.<br><br>As long as I visit Jersey I will visit this place. I hope it exists as long as there are species in need of it. 5 Stars!
