Nice zoo, animals seem relatively happy although enclosures aren’t huge. The food options are awful (the pepperoni pizza in particular) and prohibitively expensive though. Friendly staff.

Expensive day out but worth it to hand feed the Jaguars, so close yet don't touch as it's just a wire fence between you and them, they are obviously well used to it and were so gentle taking the meat, probably better table manners than some kids 😂
Took advantage of feeding the Meerkats as well which wasn't planned, there was the wise one who knew food was in the bowls, so after cherry picking the sweetest bits that were scattered he came up and claimed both bowls one at a time leaving the others to clear the floor while happily eating his way through both bowls, I snuck a couple of bits out and put them on the log when the others realised the floor was clear, so they turned to the bowl that still had some, but he wasn't going to share it with them 🤣
The food and drink was quite expensive, but I guess it helps keep the animals cared for as that's a never ending battle, being low season there were no queues which was great for me being disabled, and many of the smaller eateries were closed (probably open when it gets too high season or events) which limited you're choices, but had a hard time going around there, doing anything is a challenge, but if you don't push it you go down even faster, some animals were a no show, probably in their hidden quarters, and some you need a very good eye to spot them.
Access for disabled is good overall, bays are by the entrance, some ramps are quite steep but most are fine, the entrance is split so wheelchairs don't have to go all around the ropes while those who are able use the more roped side, missed out on any 'shows' there may have been as we were just trying to cover as much as we could and getting to the experiences took all I had in me, long day time to collapse and recover now I'm home again.

A lovely day out for the family. We went on a week day during term time so it was nice and quiet. Was particularly impressed with toilet access in car park, really handy for the children before going into zoo and before car ride home.

My husband and I was there for the panda experience. Everything about the experience was absolutely amazing and professional. The zoo is not to big but everything is very nice and there's many opportunities to see all the animals

The zoo does feel more aimed towards young kids, with a lot of parks and live kid entertainment that i found a lot of children wanted to see more than the animals 🤣
I felt the zoo was overall quite small and even the enclosures could be bigger. I am hoping they have more space we don’t see. They all looked healthy, happy and enclosures were clean but i felt the size could be better - for example the Camel’s space seemed tiny compared to Jimmys farm!
The map was a bit confusing too.
If you are looking for half a day trip, defo go. Just felt a bit overall there are better zoos out there.
The margarita pizza was really nice.

We had a lovely few hours here. All the animals were in really good condition and most had enrichment items in their cages to keep them busy. There is a really good selection of animals from big cats to capybaras. The red panda's were a particular favourite
The dinosour section is a great experience. Walking through with life size models that "come alive" when you approach them
The zoo itself is mostly wheelchair and pushchair friendly, its extremley clean and lots of places where you can have a picnic. We managed to see everything, including lunch within 4hrs. We did go on a weekday though which is quieter. Although not all open, there seemed to be plenty of places to grab something to eat and drink
Would really recommend a visit, once youv'e got your main ticket, you get a wrist stamp so you can leave and return at any point. This was very helpful as we could leave coats/lunch in the car and easily get back to the car park to get things
