From guerrillas to cheeky monkeys to pink pigeons. A varied good day out.

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.

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.

A truly important zoo to visit with plenty of wildlife, but no large animals like elephants, rhjnos, giraffes, zebras or wild cats.

We spent seven hours at Jersey Zoo - it was a fantastic day out. There are so many fantastic animals to see, from the newly arrived otters to chimpanzees, orangutans, gorillas, reptiles, meerkats, flamingos and more. Mine and my daughter's favourite part was the wonderful Butterfly Kaleidoscope where there were so many different species flying around and - if you were lucky - landing on you. It was also extremely interesting to read about conservation expert Gerald Durrell who started the Zoo and changed the way Zoos operated. His life story is told in a designated room with boards to read and a multitude of photographs. The charity shop on the site to raise funds for the Durrell Trust is also amazing and returned on another day to visit that, spending an hour browsing its massive selection of preloved goods.
