My grandson adores animals at 6 years of age he teaches me everyday being able to name many animals I have never previously heard of . As such we are working our way around zoos in the UK. We arrived Friday stayed in a hotel in marylebone then took a short bus journey to the zoo really easy to navigate the route arrived just after 11am then spent the next 6 hours touring the zoo. He loved everything about it and didn't want to leave. The only downside was he fell asleep on the journey home meaning I had to carry him and our bags at the end journey but worth every moment to watch his joy. Thank you

Well worth £35. We saw the tiger prowling and eating, the lions sunbathing, the rainforest experience was excellent with monkeys overhead, enjoyed penguins and lemurs being fed, the hippo swimming, giraffes being put to bed. The new African hunting dogs were active, and the gorillas were playful. Listened to a talk on capybaras. The volunteers were brilliant, with help when we got lost. Able to exit without going through the gift shop. Advice would be to find out times of activities with the different animals and focus on a few star items, and gently take in the rest, especially on a hot day.

We had SOO much fun at the zoo! It's lovely for visitors with children — there's lots to see and do. My favorite spots were the petting zoo, where the kids got to feed and interact with friendly goats and watch the giraffes eat— such an unforgettable experience being that close to those gentle giants! The staff were super friendly and helpful, and the whole place was clean and well-maintained. We also loved how there were so many options for food! Highly recommend for a fun day out!

    I loved the London Eye because you could see all over London with a bird's eye view. Unfortunately, my timing was a little off and I was unable to ride the boat on the Thames.. I had thought I could ride the boat back to London Eye, but due to a concert, I was unable to do that.
