Wonderful day out with the kids.
Very friendly and helpful staff all around.
Easy to navigate through the parks.
Everything is clearly labelled.

Food is reasonably priced and there is good selection that caters for vegan diets too.

I particularly loved the fact that they have a cute little multi-faith room where I could go and pray.
It is kept locked and you have to ask someone to open it for you. They are very helpful and quick to help. They even have prayer mats in there for you to use if u need .

We've had a fantastic visit with children aged 2 to 14. The zoo is informative, inclusive and beautifully decorated. We ate in Bamboo Kitchen and were served by Luca who was doing a fantastic job! Food and drinks were excellent and well priced. Luca's customer service was outstanding.

Nice place, however some of the staff were rude and disrespectful, condescending in a way. And some animals that we went to see did not really show up.Visited on

I went to Hertfordshire Zoo with my parents and daughter. Let's get the disappointing part out of the way first. My daughter enjoyed the train ride by the dinosaur section but myself and my parents thought it was a bit disappointing that some of the features were not working properly for example it looked like there should have been 3 dinosaurs that spat water at you but it appeared as though only 1 was working, and we think that £2 is a lot to pay when not all the features are working and when the ride is fairly short to.

Now thats out of the way, the rest of the day was fantastic, we managed to see most of the animals that we wanted to see and my daughter and I had come for a MeerKat Experience. The lady in the reception area of the Zoo HQ was very friendly and made us all feel welcome, especially my parents who stayed in the Zoo Hq whilst they waited for us to come back from our experience. Lily one of your lovely zookeepers took us to meet your MeerKats, Lily was very welcoming and answered any questions that we had about the MeerKats during our experience. My daughter and I absolutely loved the MeerKat experience and will certainly be saving up for future experiences with some of the other animals as we definitely thought it was worth the money spent.

Later after our experience we were by the Tortoise enclosure where we bumped into another lovely Zookeeper called Simon. He was very passionate about the tortoises and had all the time in the world to talk to us about them.

The food we had there (Skin on chips) was lovely to and all in all it was a great day out for all the family.

What a great place to visit. Went with my partner and loved everything about it. Well worth the money for a great day out. We took a picnic but actually could have just bought food there.

A great day out for all ages! It was great to see the animals from multiple viewing platforms which you don't get at other zoos we have visited. The playgrounds were brilliant for a range of ages, including different activities such as slides, swings, and an adventure course. The beach was also welcome on a hot day.
I was a bit disappointed with a lack of toilets around, and the extra cost for the train ride (which seems short and unexciting - not showing anything new in the zoo). The zoo shop seemed to be very expensive, with other zoos having a wider range of merchandise for a wider range of cost.
The website is poor and does not tell you that there is a discount for buying tickets in advance, so make sure you do!
Overall, as it's not our local zoo, we probably wouldn't return here within the year but we'll be back one day for sure.

One of the best presented and looked after zoos we have visited - and the Dino park made it for my 5 year old. Again, the dinos, in quality & animation are some of the best I have seen in Europe. Impressed by the raised walkways through multiple environments which make it so much easier to see Bears & Snow Leopards alike. Play areas are excellent and lots of food options too. Highly recommended.

A great zoo with a variety of animals to see in their respective enclosures. Facilities were clean and the prices for food and drinks were reasonable. Free car park for patrons of the zoo. Location is accessible friendly for those with mobility issues. There are play areas at different spots within the zoo for children to enjoy. Staff were friendly and helpful when interacting with them.

What a lovely zoo, we had a great time visiting, all the staff are really friendly. Plenty for the whole family to enjoy. The splash park was a great treat in the heat. Will definitely visit again

We really enjoyed our trip to this zoo. The set up is excellent with lots of shaded areas on a scorching hot day, buggy friendly access and not too much walking between the attractions for my mum who is in her seventies. Our two older ones (5 and 9) loved the dinosaur trail and also the different animal zones as well as the play equipment and the splash pool. It kept them entertained for 5 hours which is what all parents want from a day out. As fans of the CBeebies programme ‘One Zoo Three’ our children were thrilled to bump into Aaron who couldn’t have been nicer. We highly recommend.

Lovely clean well kept zoo with different areas of interests for different ages . We have a pass so are able to visit fairly regularly. We do find that in the warmer weather quite a few of the animals are sleeping and smaller children cant see them so you need to go round a few times or can miss most of the animals , also in term time close to the school holidays it was crowded with school trips and also then didficult to find seats round the main cafe and also get close up to the animal pens . Biggest annoyance today was in the soft play area . We took our one year old twins into the under 3 area which would have been perfect had it not had multiple older children in there jumping around , a couple of them were aged 7 plus . This is down to parents allowing them in when they have plenty of age appropriate areas for themselves. Would be nice if a member of staff could occasionally check on that and maybe ask the older ones to go in their own area .

Today was the most brilliant experience my family have had at any zoo in the UK and USA
The amount of experiences and animals was amazing, the animals are so close and obviously very well look after.
The dinosaur area was excellent .
We brought a membership today after this 1st visit . Highly satisfied

Whole day spent with the family; 3 generations all enjoyed the day.
Space to move, great exhibits, animal enclosures built for the animals!
Plenty of space to stop, sit and view the enclosures.
Knowledgeable staff. The talks/ displays were very good; kept us engaged, from 70 to 8 years old.
Staff managed the traffic in and out of the Zoo really well, keeping everyone safe and within their sight.
