Reviews
"Had a fabulous breakfast at the café before entering the zoo. Helped that it was a lovely sunny day, if a little chilly. Everyone of the staff were very friendly & informative. Could have happily stayed all day"
"Jersey Zoo was established in 1959 by Gerald Durrell. We had a great afternoon there. While a lot of animals were nowhere to be seen there were plenty on view. We caught it on a sunny day and it was just lovely wondering around. There were plenty of places to stop and rest or have our sandwiches. You can buy teas, coffees and food there too if you wish. Some highlights: the butterfly sanctuary, the orangutan, the reptiles and the list goes on. There were four of us, including 2 seniors, and we all enjoyed it."
"Well worth a visit, this is a well run Zoo and conservation program. Easy to reach via the local bus service, you also get a look round the island. Highly recommended."
"Absolutely fantastic place! Not too big, not too small. Very focussed on conservation and health of their animals. Food in the cafe is fantastic, tasty and lots of choice. Best day out we’ve had in Jersey."
"Amazing place and their conservation initiatives are doing fab stuff. The zoo is well spaced out and the enclosures are really well proportioned. Definitely worth a trip."
