Been twice now since the ease of lockdown and amazed at the amount of animals they have there. Really fabulous, the zoo is massive and they give talks on the animals. The play ground is super and suited for younger to older kids. Hand washing facilities near by with benches to sit. Cafe takes card payments £5 over and outdoor cash only kiosk with a small souvenir shop on exit. I must say though that they have taken excellent measures in accordance with the covid19 safety aspect. One way system in place with enough gentle signage to remind you to adhere to the guidelines. I found the spectator windows to the animals clean enough. A friend said upon her last visit they were too dirty to see through but I found them fine. Some of the bushes and shrubbery could to do with 'prooning' so to speak but honestly, it's a lovely zoo. It's well laid out and the team are friendly. Best to avoid first thing in the morning as it can be a rush. They are a charity so you can contribute. I would definetly recommend this zoo and it is worth every penny of the entrance fee. You can pay £2pp for a photo card which allows you money off your next visit. Parking is free and toilets at entrance and near the cafe/ play ground area. I prefer this zoo to Noahs Ark in Bristol, personally. They have a Facebook page where they are very responsive to messages if you have any queries etc. Great zoo.

Such a wonderful little zoo set in such an amazing area of North Devon. We are so lucky to have such a fabulous place full of such a variety of well cared for animals on our doorstep. It is a full days experience and you need to go around a couple of times to ensure you see everything and don't miss a thing. The zoo is very covid secure with plenty of sanitizer and mask to be worn on inside areas, you certainly feel very safe during your visit. The animals you see look very well cared for and the fact they have so many babies being born show just how happy they truly are. 100% recommend Exmoor Zoo and will definitely visit again soon to help support them during this testing time.

I really enjoyable well kept zoo that I would recommend to anyone. It may not have some of the larger animals you see at the bigger zoos but there are some rather unusual animals I've never come across before. The enclosures felt more natural than other zoos ive been to with the vegetation at time as interesting as the animals. The one way system was easy enough to understand, there were parts where you had no choice but to go back on yourself but with a bit of common sense, everyone can social distance whilst enjoying the zoo. The staff were very welcoming and some you could tell they enjoy working there. If you are looking for a place to visit in this part of the world I would recommend giving this zoo some thought.

We visited in September and the zoo has a one way system which we thought caused more people to 'bunch up' as you are all going the same way and entering the zoo at a similar time (there was a well managed queue to enter) and the walkways are narrow, so we took our time and waited for people to move on. The highlight for us were the caracal cats and their kittens, we spend some here watching the kittens play and ended up talking to a keeper who told us all about them. We used the watch towers to get better views of some of the animals but the trees were heavily overgrown and we couldn't see much, we understand allowing the shrubbery and trees to overgrow and give the animals a natural environment but it would be good to be able to see from the towers. Having visited numerous zoo's we also felt the enclosures were on the small side for some animals but this is just our perception. The zoo is small but take your time and enjoy spending some time here.

Unfortunately, we did not have an enjoyable day at this zoo. We paid £42 for 2 adults and 1 child which seems overpriced for the size of the zoo.This is not a full day out. Our daughter was bored after 2 hours and wanted to go home. We were also genuinely sad and concerned for the welfare of the animals. In particular the wolves that were pacing their enclosure desperately looking for a way to get out. They appeared distressed, hungry and bored. Then other enclosures were either overgrown, empty or/and neglected. After reading the response given by the zoo's manager to other customers that have had a similar experience and concern for the animals. I feel the zoo is not taking on board customer feedback inturn not providing a better quality of life for the animals in their care. In addition to this, my partner was rudely asked to remove his mask. There is a sign in the cafe stating 'please remove mask when ordering food so we can understand what you are saying'. This is at customer discretion and at no point do you have the right to ask someone to remove their mask, this is not in accordance with Covid19 current regulation. Finally, the toilet facilities are very poor.

Firstly I would like to say how fantastic the staff at Exmoor Zoo are, always willing to answer questions and very knowledgeable. The zoo maybe quieter at present due to number restrictions but even when we visited last year the staff were excellent. The talks they do during the day for different animals are very informative. The Zoo is not the biggest and not your standard animals but there is still enough interesting animals for everyone. As for the Experiences my daughters done were informative and enjoyable. My eldest done the carnivore experience and fed a different number of animals and my youngest daughter had the Meerkat experience which she enjoyed especially petting one of them. Please people if you book to go to Exmoor zoo let them know if you cannot make it as they can release the tickets to someone else.

Had a really enjoyable day visiting the zoo. There’s a great range of animals including big cats, wolves and exotic birds. They also have some really rare species which we were lucky enough to see and they focus on the conservation efforts which is good to hear. There’s lots of interesting talks throughout the day and the guide was really knowledgable - would definitely recommend! Re COVID-19 the zoo felt really safe to visit, lots of hand sanitiser etc. Everyone used their common sense and maintained social distance where possible and wore masks if needed.

We recently visited the Exmoor Zoo and had a brilliant time! Despite the fact it was raining all day we had lots of laughs and saw some amazing animals that we hadn't seen before. There were a lot of babies despite the time of year which are always a joy to watch - especially the baby Gibbon who was not enjoying the rain at all and made sure his Mum new it! The Zoo is managed wild so all the plant life is maintained but not stripped back which gives it a great look and helps to camoflauge the deceiving size of this Zoo which you can easily spend up to 4 hours mooching around. Covid rules were in place and were being adhered to and everyone was in great spirits despite the current climate. Really enjoyable day out and would definatley recommend / return again if we are back in the area.

I personally think the zoo is quite expensive for what it is at nearly £16 per adult. The cafe looked really tired and the baby changing and general toilet facilities are poor. The paths are very narrow so it's tricky especially when trying to socially distance. There are some nice animals though. The best I could say is that it's ok

What a find. During lockdown I responded to their appeal for money as Woolacombe has become our second home and lack of visitors was causing a desperate situation. But I had never visited. It’s fabulous. Animals are healthy and well cared for and in sympathetic enclosures. The one way system worked well and for the under 12s the playground is large and varied. The cafe was very reasonably priced and had a wide range of take out food. A great half day out enjoyed by my grandchildren (11 and 15).
