The Jersey Zoo seems to focus on the comfort of animals. Shy species like the Aye Aye are well shielded from view and can only be seen when they feel like it. Durell also makes a significant conservation effort to the wellbeing of many species displayed there( and not ).<br><br>I don't hesitate to recommend a visit here.

Leuke dierentuin, klein maar met veel leuke dieren. (Je bent er wel een paar uur zoet als je rustig alles bekjjkt) Helaas hielden sommige dieren zich goed verstopt (zoals de stokstaartje/ meerkatten). Ook veel plek voor kinderen om te spelen en om te picknicken. Op bepaalde tijden worden dieren gevoerd en vertelt een verzorger een interessant verhaal. Café dat erbij zit serveert lekkere en verse broodjes en gebak.<br><br>Tip: wij kwamen vanuit het westen en die bus kwam niet precies bij de zoo . Dus besloten we de laatste 1,5 km te lopen. GEVAARLIJK! Je loopt langs een drukke weg zonder berm of voetpad. Je kan beter overstappen op een lijn die er wel heen gaat (in elk geval 3 buslijnen)

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!

Nice place to visit, larger than we thought. Whilst it’s winter, you can still see a number of animals. Our favourite was the orangutans, gorillas and giant tortoises. The tortoises came up to me, it’s like we became best friends 😆 - the only gripe was the price, should be a little discounted if a lot of the animals are not available to see. Cafe is excessively overpriced, almost £17 for sausage and mash!

Spent a great day exploring the zoo and learning about Gerald Durrell's work. Loved seeing the animals and especially enjoyed chatting with one of the volunteers who told us all about the gorillas as well as other information on the zoo and Jersey life; everyone was really helpful and friendly. As a wheelchair user the zoo was mostly accessible with just a couple of inclines to tackle. Well worth a visit.
