We usually visit once or twice a year, March or November, so we are used to animals hiding out of the wind and cold weather. The staff are always happy to answer our questions about the animals and their care and the philosophy behind the zoo is excellent. This was our first visit since the rebranding to Jersey Zoo, and nothing had changed, apart from the signage, which was good. The cafe had a good selection of drinks and luscious cakes with clean and environmentally friendly toilets. The animals live in as natural surroundings as possible which makes spotting the tropical birds a tad difficult but so be it. This is conservation zoo, not a place to see animals that are common in the wild or not endangered. The new butterfly house was amazing and the volunteer staff knowledgeable, we will be back when next in Jersey...

A great family day out with something for everyone, couldn't recommend more. All of the animal enclosures are generously-sized and natural in line with the zoo's conservation focus. The keeper talks are fascinating and well worth arranging your day around, especially for the less-popular animals. Don't miss the otters right in the middle of the park.

Raises the human spirit, a place that shows that someone in this World is fighting for the animals

The animals all look well cared for and have plenty of space. It is the first zoo I have come away from and not felt sorry for the animals!

There is a bus direct to the zoo from St Helier bus station. Some buses take twice as long so look out for which bus is coming. I'd rather call this a conservation park than a zoo. It's a relatively small size. You can see everything and grab something to eat in about 4 hours. They have various keeper talks throughout the day. We saw the gorilla talk which was very interesting. Who knew gorillas don't like asparagus? You can tell the staff are passionate about conservation. There's a lot of unusual or lesser kept animals. They have fantastic habitats to live in. The orangutans were an amusing group to watch. The cafe at the entrance was amazing. The food tasted great and there was a good selection. They also had vegetarian and vegan deserts. Definitely recommend a visit!
