With over 720 animal species, exciting and innovative new exhibits and heritage-listed building almost as famous as their inhabitants it's a great day out.See animals in a different light at Rainforest Life; get breathtakingly close to our colony of lowland gorillas and don’t miss the action in the amphitheatre! « less

“A bit shabby”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed May 14, 2013 NEW

We were shocked at the admission price of £25 per adult, even more so when we saw how shabby the place was, it didn't look cared for at all and could do with a bit of a facelift (the fenced off members lawn was very well cared for though!). The animals all seemed well looked after however and there was... More

“Good as far as zoos go.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed May 14, 2013 NEW

Used London Pass for entry so was good value. As far as zoo's go it is well set up with new exhibits being added. The new tiger display allows some great photo opportunities as does the gorilla enclosures.

“A amazing day out for all ages”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 12, 2013 NEW via mobile

We had a London pass so were able to skip the que. I would research other ticket options as this was the only thing we used our passes for. We went on a Sunday and it was sunny which was a bonus! Took a good 5 hours to get round it all and have lunch. Take a pack lunch as... More

“Monkey around!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed May 11, 2013

Visited the zoo with some colleagues. It's easy to get around, lots to see and will be interesting and entertaining for all ages. The Bug House is well worth a visit and make sure you stop for the 12:30 show near the pavilion. We had lunch there and there seemed to be a great choice of food but I think... More

“A good day out - if you dont pay full price for entry!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed May 9, 2013

“"Be a zookeeper for a day" experience”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 9, 2013

I was lucky enough to spend my birthday this year on the 'Zookeeper for a day' experience at London Zoo. It was an amazing day - hard work but great fun and for an animal lover such as myself, the perfect present. My boyfriend did good! It was an early start, as I needed to be at the zoo for... More

“Nice”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed May 8, 2013

Nice zoo, but not very big.Although it's small there are a lot of interesting animals to see. Very good and peaceful break from the big city and the crowds.
