This is our 4th visit to the zoo, and in the last year we have also visited Chester Zoo and Twyncross Zoo... and to be honest Blackpool is good but doesnt live up to the other ones. The thing that sets this out as better is the Dinosaur Safari bit, especially if you have young boys that are obsessed with... more

I went to Blackpool Zoo with my boyfriend on 19.09.2009. I thought the zoo had a great atmosphere and all the staff were really friendly and made us feel very welcome. The food in the main cafe is slightly too expensive but it didnt put a downer on our day. I think we might be buying annual passes from the... more

Firstly, you have to pay to you the car park on top of your fee in. Please be aware of the small print on any vouchers you have as the staff seem to be very prepared and able to argue with you, they even seem to revell in it. The Zoo itself seemed to small for some of the animals.... more

Having read the reviews, we expected to be decidedly underwhelmed by Blackpool Zoo. But I have to say, we were very impressed. As nature lovers, we much prefer to see animals in the wild on safari, but zoos do play a part in making the case for conservation and switching people onto the issues. I was worried from some of... more

As a visitor to blackpool zoo i found the entrance great , it gives you the feel that the zoo will be simular but it is not so true. The zoo seams to be a bit old fashinoed with not much money being spent on the animals, this may have been due to the council running it. but now it... more

A very nice zoo which has been updated. The animals now have natura;istic and spacious surroundings. Among them were the Elephants, tigers and lions who had a new enclosure. It is well-sized with lots of parrots, kangaroos sea lions monkey islands and orang-utans all of which are kept entertained. All the shows were infromative and mimiced natural behaviour with feeding... more

I have just returned from a trip to Blackpool Zoo and was suitably impressed. There have been some major changes over the last few years, one being the 'Dinosaur Safari'. It is an extra charge but one that I felt was worth it. 'Amazonia', is a dome where you can walk through with little monkeys running free. You can also... more

Me and my boyfriend went here last October for our 18th month together. I ave been to alot of zoos, but was very surprised when we pulled up.
