We had a fantastic day out at Hertfordshire Zoo and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great family experience.
First impressions were excellent – the car park was well-organised and easy to navigate, which made arriving stress-free. The entrance process was smooth and efficient, and we were quickly on our way to exploring. Every member of staff we encountered was incredibly helpful and friendly, which really added to the welcoming atmosphere.
The grounds were clean, tidy, and clearly well cared for, with a great selection of animals to see. There was plenty to keep us engaged throughout the day, and everything felt thoughtfully laid out.
A real highlight was Dinosaur World – it was absolutely outstanding and a big hit with everyone in our group. Another standout experience was the bird of prey demonstration, which was both very informative and enjoyable to watch.
Overall, it was a brilliant visit from start to finish. We would definitely recommend Hertfordshire Zoo and will certainly be returning again in the future!

Brilliant Zoo.
The enclosures seem quite new and everything is well looked after.
The zoo is a great size that you can walk round the whole site without it being too much for the kids (6 and 4).
The dinosaur wood and playground was also great fun.
First time we’ve been and we will definitely go again!!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Just wanted to say this is a beautiful zoo, small but the animals are so well looked after and it so enjoyable to wander around with plenty of places to sit. The park is clean and the keepers and all the staff are super friendly.
I recently asked them to organise a card for my sister's 60th. I took the card in expecting a handful of signatures, but instead there were a lot of signatures from all animal departments and personal messages. My sister loved it. Shout out to Maisie and Sharon.

This is a wonderful attraction for families with children. The animals are in lovely environments with an amazing variety of ways to view them. The dinosaur exhibits are the best I have ever seen. There are things to do when the kids have had enough of animals. The catering is quite nice, more so in fine weather because there is plenty of outdoor seating. The only issue is the slow queues to get in. They need to be speeded up somehow.

An excellent visit with lots of animals to see. Fair amount of working on site and good prices. Food is average but as expected.

We took our grandson to Hertfordshire Zoo for a birthday gift of the Capybara experience, an animal he loves. We had a lovely day and were impressed at how well set out the zoo is, we enjoyed seeing interesting animals and birds. The facilities are very good. The staff we spoke to were very helpful and well informed. A big thank you to Nicola for her informative welcome and coffees!! and Amelia who made the Capybara experience very enjoyable for our grandson.

We had a capybara experience for two on Monday 4th of May and the receptionist was really nice, gave us a drink and some biscuits whilst we awaited our experience to begin, as well as a cute little goodie bag with some freebies! Amelia came to collect us for the experience and it was just a phenomenal time had. Amelia was really great in explaining the safety measures, facts about the capybaras and she accommodated our needs perfectly, would suggest this experience 100%!

What can you say! After seeing it on the tv we came as a family group of ten!
Zoo is phenomenal as is the dinosaur park, a great family day out which was worth the money. Drinks etc inside not too overpriced either which helped.
Only negatives to stop a five star review was after paying nearly £200 for ten of us we then had to pay another 20 to ride the train? Also all the adults weren’t allowed in soft play? Seemed very strange but never mind.
The dinosaurs are great and the young lady who was doing the stage intros etc was so friendly and great with the kids!

We had a tiger experience for my husband's birthday and wow, it was absolutely fantastic. The lady, I think her name is Cassie, was fantastic and spent a lot of time answering our questions. She was so knowledgeable and helpful. Would throughly recommend this to anyone. My husband said it was the best present he had ever had and that his dreams had come true.

I visited the Zoo with family today, we had a lovely day, the sun was shining and all of the animals were out. However, I was disappointed with the service in the gift shop. The tall lady and the curly haired boy were very rude and spent more time chatting to each other and the security guard than serving people and didn’t offer me any help until I walked up to the till and interrupted their conversation . They should remember the fact they are working in customer service and not at a social call.
