December 2024Been coming here annually since I was a kid. The animals are well looked after and the zookeepers very passionate and knowledgeable. I’m happy to be donating to the zoo’s conservation work. Nice day out with it taking around 2 hours to get through everything. For what it is, the food and drink is reasonably priced, as are the attractions.

January 2025Lovely experience,had so much fun exploring the place and see different kind of beautiful animal there. There is a coffee shop in there to take a break and few selections of food sandwiches and buns . So if u have a special dietary would recommend to bring your own . Make sure if u have small kids to bring their own food and water bottles .

December 2024Yes, it is touristy. Yes, it is big, and yes, I'd say it's worth a trip if you've never been. The zoo is well-organised and easy to navigate, with plenty of signs to guide you (They also give you a physical map). There's a nice balance between animal exhibits, interactive displays, and areas to relax. Taking your children here is a magical experience. They'll be amazed by the variety of animals. But the zoo isn't just for kids. It's a wonderful experience for adults, too. The thoughtfully designed enclosures, like the Tiger Territory and Land of the Lions, offer a chance to see animals up close. The staff are friendly and happy to answer questions, and it's clear they care deeply about the animals. The gift store is the perfect way to end your visit. Tidy and reasonably priced, considering where you are. Filled with items that reflect the Zoo's focus on wildlife and conservation. Since this is a very popular attraction, you're best going on a weekday morning/afternoon if you find the time.

January 2025Wasn’t expecting to see almost all animals during the winter! Such a fabulous experience , got to see lions, tigers, penguins, reptiles, zebras, llamas, emu, ostrich and scores of others !! Enclosures are well heated and animals are provided a very comfortable environment even during the cold weather. Plenty of restaurants and cafes centrally located, lunch at the Terrace restaurant was amazing! Wonderful day out !

January 2025Great zoo, it’s got good sensory opportunities with seeing, touching, hearing and smelling often too 😅 penguins are away the highlight seeing them in their lil cute place. Very scenic bits. Either way it being so expensive could do with some wider drink sections inside and a bit more cost friendly.
