Hanwell Zoo Church Road, London W7 3BP

"I took my daughter there to spend a day. A very nice place. It feels that you have come out of the hustle bustle of London. A place very close to nature. You can book the tickets either online or you can buy them from the gift shop there. There is a very good playing area for children which has a couple of activities to do to keep the kids engaged. The zoo is located in the middle of the woods which has a very good walking trail. I didn't go to the trail because didn't have time to do so but will definitely go there some day. While walking towards the zoo we crossed a small part of that trail and there were wild blackberry shrubs in abundance. I even tasted some and they were very tasty. I didn't have a bag otherwise I would have plucked some to take home. There is a kids area outside the zoo as well where they can play and spend time. Overall a day very well spent. Highly recommend place to go if you like nature walks."

"Very cute place, I’d imagine lovely for family outing. It was a nice visit - Capybaras were here which is why we came. Wish the margay wasn’t in hiding but still - worthwhile and not expensive at all. Adult entry is only £4.50"

"I have to disagree with most of the high ratings on here. This ‘zoo’ is neglected, the animals look depressed, there is over grown shrubs so visibility of the animals is poor, double netting everywhere & just really dirty. I feel sorry for the animals. They don’t have a lot of room, they look bored. The goat was alone & was so sad looking. The flamingos hardly had any water & the little water they did have was dirty. The so called aquarium was one fish tank. There was neglected cages and shrubs all over the place. We hardly saw any animals. This was a bad visit, waste of time and money and a concern for the animals."

"I loved to find this zoo in the middle of a remote park, next to a marvellous looking church. You pay £4.50 per person and you can go in and out as many times as you want. You have a coffee shop and they serve some food also. And very important that there is a toilet fairly clean. Sadly many animals were missing, perhaps they've been transferred in a warmer place as I've been visiting in winter.. However, the animals present look very well kept and seemed happy. I have to say that I instantly feel in love with the lemurs and alpacas and the gorgeous flamingos."

"We had a great time. We were expecting a small zoo, but it has more animals then we thought. The zoo keeper was feeding the animals at 11am, so some of them just wake up for that."
