Took our five year old granddaughter for a visit - I had been when I was a child so it was lovely to be back. We loved it, but found the signposting not so good and couldn't find some of the animals! The facilities are very good with plenty shade (it was a hot day), toilets, cafes and the animal enclosures are very user friendly. Spent some time talking to one of the keepers at the penguins and she was really informative. All in all it was a good experience and the zoo is obviously very well taken care of in all respects.

The Zoo is really good. We mostly can see different animals, but it is not necessary to walk through a long distance. Thus, it is best suitable for the elders and people not be able to walk over a long time. Even some animals are missing owing to the construction stages, the experience is amazing. However, the signages for indication of different animals may be made more clearer to the customers such as the locations, e.g. giraff or lion and kangeroos.

Headed to the zoo with my boys and we had a great day out. Staff at the zoo were all really knowledgeable including at the desk when we arrived and the zoo itself is excellent. I bought my tickets through headeout and it was a seamless and straightforward process and their website is very user friendly

Coala was my girlfriend favourite highlight, along with geraffe, sadly did not see the wild cat as it was sleeping , my personal favourite was a lioness tiger and chimpanzees, as they invoked most emotions in me personally. It was also amazing to see live in person a visualy perplexing anteater 🤓
