Fantastic set up where the animals are in environments close to their natural habits, with lovely gardens, lakes and woodland. Particularly loved getting close to seeing the gorillas, orangutans, meerkats and flamingos. There is also a fine exhibition on the life of Gerald Durrell and a very good cafe. Well worth a visit.

Smart entrance, cafe & shop. But beyond that it's quite shabby & tired. Disappointed that there were very few animals visible during our visit.

Small zoo but definitely worth a visit, my husband has mobility issues and we hired a scooter I rang the day before to book, but really didn't need to as they have quite a few. Spent about 4 hours here. Seemed to be a lot of stuff for the kids to engage with.

I am not a great fan of Zoos but this place has an international reputation and does amazing work. Having read so many of Gerald Durrel's books as a child, it was lovely to finally see the achievements of the Durrel Wildlife Conservation Trust in person.

Our second visit to this zoo, our previous being in 1994. Although there were parts of the zoo that were very good, especially the orangutans, other parts left us feeling a little disappointed. There is currently a degree of disruption due to ongoing improvements to a number of the animal enclosures. Some additional enclosures have been added, but which were not included on the map as provided at the time. Recommend asking if there are any differences, closed enclosures etc on arrival, and also getting clarification on the precise location of any associated talks, we waited by the wrong enclosure for 15 minutes, and found a further tortoise enclosure later, which presumably is where we should have been waiting.
