We always visit the zoo when we go to Jersey as our contributions help look after the animals. The green snake 🐍, Rishi, is still there and the reptile house is always worth a visit. The Gorilla enclosure in particular is worth going to and you may see the gorillas get angry and make a lot of noise. Go there and support the animals please, you won’t regret it.

We glamped for four nights at jersey zoo. It's not cheap and its self catering and basically, you're in a tent. But the tent is huge, has a proper bed and a romantic wood burning stove. On the same platform you have another tent containing your kitchen, toilet and shower. You also get a table with an umbrella and four chairs and also 2 sun lounger beds. There's no fridge but there's a cool box and fresh cold packs are available from the big fridge at the nearby office. There's a toaster and 2 ring electric hob. If it's raining the table will fit into the kitchen. The visitors we had were a red squirrel, hedgehog, toads [always outside!] and a robin who would fly into the tent to see what was up. One early morning the sun was coming up , my partner was coming back from the loo and shouted for me. Our tent was the closest to the zoo fence and about 20 yards away there were 5 ring tailed lemurs sitting sunbathing in a tree!!! They just ignored us and were very relaxed. So relaxed, one of them fell out of the tree but the others just looked at him. We ate in the zoo at about 5 everyday but would have bacon sandwiches later on. The food in the zoo is good. We had such a good time we're going back next year. There's a lot going on in the zoo and we want to see the outcome. Can't recommend the glamping enough.

Bats & Butterflies were my favourite to see & experience up close and hear talks by keepers on the day. My second attempt to visit Zoo as Friday 1st April closed due to very high winds(first time in it's history). Staff welcoming, Hannah on Cranes, Ben on Bats and Judith (office) who helped me with locating talks. If they could put location with list of talks and signage at location, would make it easy to find, otherwise thoroughly enjoyable whole day, well spent. Thank you Jersey Zoo, I will be back Marion

Very well kept, clean and animals clearly loved by the staff. Visited on a cold day so a lot of the animals were indoors which is understandable! Super cafe if a little on the pricey side. Would recommend.

The Zoo is terrific, well laid out and easy to navigate, the patches are well designed and of sound structure. What let the place down for me was the combined male and female toilets in the coffee shop, it’s not right, there were young girls using them at the same time as men, this is unnecessary and irresponsible, I do hope this is rectified soon. Apart from this it’s a great day out

Small enough to walk around in half a day.Enclosures allow good viewing. Check feeding times as this allows closer views of the animals. Easy to access by bus fromSt.Helier. Excellent cafe .very good service and tasty food. Good value for money.

Fascinating visit and much more than a zoo …it is really a conservation organisation with the zoo. Know for the gorillas and they are wonderful to see. Quite a number of the animals are in their winter accommodation so some of the areas have empty enclosures but it doesn’t detract from the overall enjoyment. Situated in a beautifully kept large park. We spent a whole day there and loved it

We enjoyed walking round the zoo, but compared to the John Aspinal zoos, we thought this was way behind. No elephants, rhinocerous, hippopotamus l, giraffe or big cats. It was pitiful to see one of the bears rocking too and fro (which the zoo explained as a hormonal change, but we thought it was through boredom). The Orang u tans also looked unhappy, but most other animals had good space to roam. We enjoyed the day, but wouldn't return.

Had a fabulous day at Jersey Zoo. Grounds are beautiful despite the fact it was a wet and miserable day. Wanted to make a special mention for James who looks after the tortoises, he was brilliant and a credit to the zoo. I’ve learned lots about tortoises, something I never thought I would say.

Although this is a small zoo it has so much to see and learn about. The orangutans, gibbons and bears are always very entertaining and a huge attraction.. There are regular talks from the keepers and feeding times to witness and the whole place is a lovely day out. It’s very accessible and the cafes have some nice food, ice creams etc. I’ve always been a fan of Gerald Durrell books (founder of the zoo) and have been twice. It doesn’t disappoint.
