Oh dear; I'm sad to say I agree with Jim from Co. Durham. For a birthday treat, we went on an excursion to Paignton zoo. There was much walking between enclosures, some of it uphill, which was very tiring. The poor gorilla , hiding somewhere ,was evident only from its extremely bad smell. But, what lowered my spirits most, was... more

We visited this Zoo in August 2009. I have visited many of the Zoos and Wildlife Parks here in the UK and many abroad, but my travels until now had not brought me to Paignton. I came here on a recommendation from a Zoo keeper at another attraction and within minutes of entering the park I knew it was going... more

We visited Paignton Zoo on Sunday 31st May. It was quiet and great weather to spend the day there. There were so many different animals to see! It is set out in different zones with different trails to walk around making it interesting to discover all the different animals the zoo has. I wouldn't buy a guide at the front... more

Paignton Zoo is a delight for both adults and children alike. They have a wide range of animals in very spacious enclosures which are skillfully blended into the landscape. There are raised walkways at several of the exhibits which makes it easier to see the animals and also means your view isn't obscured by wire fencing. The Zoo is logically... more

I will admit that admission to Paignton Zoo can be pricy - but to be fair, these prices have paid for the extensive improvements to the zoo and the excellent large, innovative enclosures given to the animals. A visit to Paignton Zoo is a great way to spend a day out. Paignton Zoo is quite large to walk around, so... more

When you pay to go in a £1 donation is already added to the price making it £11.80. You can opt to take this pound off but they make a big deal about it. I dont feel the zoo is very good value for money. I have no doubt that the large enclosures are great for the animals but it... more

Paignton zoo is very interesting place to visit. We were staying in Teignmouth when we decided to come & visit. We caught a bus from The Triangle to Torquay Harbour, here you change buses. Theres usually one which drops off at the zoo direct, it's an open top bus which stops at Paignton bus station before carrying onto the zoo.... more
