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.

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

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
