We are from Bulgaria and we were very happy with our visit to the zoo! Our children were very excited about the close encounters with the animals. Very nice, clean and well-maintained and with lots of entertainment for young and old visitors. We will definitely come back!

My grandson adores animals at 6 years of age he teaches me everyday being able to name many animals I have never previously heard of . As such we are working our way around zoos in the UK. We arrived Friday stayed in a hotel in marylebone then took a short bus journey to the zoo really easy to navigate the route arrived just after 11am then spent the next 6 hours touring the zoo. He loved everything about it and didn't want to leave. The only downside was he fell asleep on the journey home meaning I had to carry him and our bags at the end journey but worth every moment to watch his joy. Thank you
