Visited Hertford town and castle today. Had a lovely time, my son was amazed exploring the castle rooms, especially fascinated by the ‘dungeon’. Some lovely dresses for children to try on too. The staff working here today were very polite and friendly. I highly recommend a visit to this lovely area.

We went along to the Teddy Bear's Picnic last July and really enjoyed it. The event itself was free and there were some free of charge teddy bear games, Punch and Judy show and some river rides (although we didn't do those). Also chargeable bouncy castle, craft making etc. The castle was open and my son enjoyed looking around the dungeon, and both children enjoyed completing the teddy bear trail.

we called in whilst the classic cars were on display on the green.
have a look for the portraits of mayors through the ages. See how fashion has changed.
A video was playing in one of the large ground floor rooms, gave a good history of the castle from the time of the first timber buildings.

I have visited this place many times in the past and have very fond memories of it with friends. A great place full of life and a wonderful river full of ducks and other creatures. A main issue are all the teenagers hanging out around a small brick structure near the lake with benches and a roof. They can often been smoking, indulging themselves in drugs or sometimes even fornicating when less people are present. Other than the lack of control of lurking teenagers often with illegal substances, this place is great for the family.

Well worth a visit in this attractive town with its location inside the park so a good place to take your picnic. Really a Keep not a castle but does not lessen the attraction

My family and I visited in 2019 and it was by far the best zoo we have ever been to. We loved how the play area/dinosaur area was split away from the animals and the enclosures were fantastic. Given we live right by Port Lympne and Howletts, I appreciate the fact this isn’t too spread out. The food was great as where the staff.
We returned yesterday for something to do but all of us were really quite disappointed. The sun bear enclosure (and everything promised to be coming soon four years ago) is still not done. The wolves and reindeer section is just rotting away and everything just feels a bit grubby and dilapidated.
I do appreciate it’s probably still reeling from the impact of covid so I’ve tried to take that into consideration with my review but after making a special effort to travel from Kent (2 hrs away) to support what we considered was an amazing zoo, it’s all a bit deflating.
Couple that with the fact that a lot of the glass enclosures we couldn’t see into because they were covered in steam and water (again, no one to blame really as it’s just the difference in outdoor/indoor temps) it all just felt a bit pointless going I’m sorry to say.
We were done in a couple of hours after lunch in the restaurant which previously served really good burgers but now are a bit cheap and nasty. Chips are banging though.
Sorry zoo. I don’t think I’ll be making this trip again.

This is possibly one of the best zoo's we have visited in a long time! They have put a lot of time and effort into everything they do and the care for their animals is exceptional. We were welcomed by Aaron, who spent his valuable time taking us around the zoo and providing some invaluable advice to us as a fellow business owner.
We would highly recommend everyone to visit!

Good price to get in. Spent the whole day there with three other adults. Did not have enough time to look at the dinosaurs. The keepers were full of interesting info about the animals. Talks all day. Lots of new and exciting enclosures being built. Fantastic day all round.

Had a great day here last week. Great enclosures for the animals and friendly knowledgeable staff. My nephew is a big fan of one zoo three and the staff were good enough to radio around the park and arrange for him to meet the stars of the show. Made his day We will be going back in the summer to see their new exhibits
