I had never been to Whipsnade zoo before, and had certainly never spent the night in a zoo. This experience was to change both of those facts. On arrival, we reported to reception and were directed to a reserved parking area near to the fantastic wooden lodges that were to be home for the night. We were free to enjoy... More

What a lovely way to spend a day! Enjoyed all the talks and feeding times and especially the sea lion display. The staff were friendly and happy to answer questions. Lots of benches around to sit for a while and enjoy the animals. The café we used was clean and tidy with the most delicious chocolate muffins! The new children's... More

My wife and I had a great day walking around the zoo. Everything is nice and spaced out so even with the huge crowd there we never felt like we were surrounded by lots of people. There is a huge variety of animals and it's interesting to see them walking around in their big enclosures rather than being confined to... More

Fancy staying over at a Zoo, well this is for you. Lookout Lodge provides an overnight stay with tours of the zoo just for the 18 guests once the public have left and before they get there the next morning. From the moment you arrive you feel pampered with a glass of bubbly, once you have settled in to your... More

My husband & I really enjoyed the zoo there would only be a few things I'd change and those would be: places to have your picnic that are covered incase of rain, get some gorillas or orangutans!, more toilets!

Sprawling country park with most animals given as natural open environment as possible. So many species, also some shows. This is a favourite day out for me several times a year. Plenty of food and drink stops. You can choose to drive round or make a day and walk round.

Me and my husband went to Whipsnade along with another couple and had a great time. We are ardent animal lovers and this place was just right for us. I have seen an open zoo for the first time. Really...its open..you can touch the animals, play with them. The most amazing moment was when we all were just chilling and... More

Booked this as an anniversary present for my husband as I'd always refused to go camping with him. But this is not roughing it by any means! The Lodges are really comfortable and surprisingly spacious. We stayed on a very drizzly and windy night but were as 'snug as bugs'. Whilst the weather wasn't ideal for the animal tours the... More

The whole experience was amazing from start to finish and I'd like to thank Kat, Olivia, Ian, Murray and Sam among others for being so friendly and welcoming, and passionate about what they do. They made the trip so enjoyable and engaged everyone on the tour, making it as special for everyone as possible. The food was gorgeous and seeing... More
