Pick up a leaflet with a map on it before you go as they didn't have any when I visited. The map boards around the park are not up to date!
A lot of the cages are not very big.
I was expecting more rarer animals - as much as I love meerkats and capybara they're not in need of conservation help, they're in most zoos! I did wonder walking round what Gerald Durrell would think of the place now!

If you want a big zoo with lots of the common animals then Jersey Zoo isn’t for you. It’s a small zoo principally focused on conservation. It is visitor friendly and easy to get to by bus. There is an app but we didn’t find it very useful. Good place for kids, plenty of room to explore and lots of lovely unusual animals to see.

All very good, lovely and quiet, I'm still not convinced there are animals in all of the enclosures... But it was a warm day. Maybe they were hiding. Jersey zoo is the 1st place recommended on a trip to the channel islands. It maintains its reputation very well.

Whilst the sentiment of the zoo is wonderful, when I visited recently I felt the place was unkempt and run down. The outsides of animal enclosures looked untidy and grubby. The bat and sloth houses were closed. What animals there were, either slept or looked uninterested. Pens were empty. There weren't even many people there. The whole place is lacklustre. Some species weren't even endangered. One bird was on its own in a big aviary. I came away feeling disappointed. It could all do with a big spruce up. It certainly doesn't feel like the renowned world affair it is known for. It is possible they have realised it is not big enough to carry forth its name for this day and age.

Fantastic day out.
Animal keepers very informative and knowlegable
Bring water if spending all day here as the cafe is long from the far end of the zoo.

Nicely curated Zoo but we didn’t see many animals in the exhibits. Sleeping? Hiding? Don’t know.

Arrived there just as it was opening, walked around and didn't see many animals, but after wandering around and stopping for a coffee in the cafe we went for another walk around and by then there were many sightings of different animals, it is a good day out and they have a children's play area as well, the Gerald Durrell museum in the grounds is well worth a visit, the zoo is easy to get to by bus.. as is everywhere on Jersey.
