Lovely place to go with family and kids. Plenty to see, so many animals, amazing experience and one of the biggest zoo I've ever been. You need a full day from 10 am to 6 pm if you wish to see all/ have a break to eat and drink/ enjoy everything around. Highly recommended place to go.

Second time we have been here and it is an absolutely amazing day out. So much to see and do its great value for money. The animals are so well cared for and have plenty of space in the enclosures

Wonderful place great for families or just for a nice solo day out, lots of places to sit and watch the animals. There's a lazy boat ride for those who want to sit back and relax as looking at the animals I highly recommend the lemon sorbet and coconut ice available on the island !!

Absolutely an amazing day. The whole family enjoyed it. So we'll set out, great sign posting. Beautiful well cared for animals with just enough information on each posted. We especially enjoyed the butterfly house. We spent the full day there (10am-6pm) & got to see everything once we would have loved extra time to revisit specific areas, so will definitely be returning soon. The staff were helpful & friendly. All areas were immaculate. There were plenty places to eat & the food was exceptional. Could not have asked for a better day.

What a lovely zoo!! Had the best time on a double date there today! The animals are lovely and the whole layout is really cool, unique, and relatively easy to navigate! There was no crowds or waiting at all either since we went on a Monday! Only thing we slightly didn't like was the lack of some animals like capybaras and giraffes but that's normal and no one can force the animals out to entertain. Also, a little tip, if you want to see everything without rushing, go early!! We went at 2pm (it closes at 4:30pm) and we had to rush in order to see everything - it's a REALLY big zoo. The closed spaces like the fruit bat rooms and the monsoon rooms are absolutely genius! They are so unique and cool and it's such a memorable experience! The gift shop is absolutely massive and there are a lot of places to eat around the zoo too. The toilets were spread around evenly too which was quite useful! Overall, I would DEFINITELY go again for longer! It was absolutely lovely!
