Positives:

  • Stroller-friendly paths: Wide, flat routes make it easy to push a stroller across all zones.
  • Dedicated baby zones: Puppet workshops and changing rooms keep little ones comfortable.
  • Interactive feedings: Short live shows hold a toddler’s attention safely.

Challenges:

  • Distance: Full loop is 4 km; even the express route is about 2 km, which can tire small legs.
  • Weather exposure: Limited shade in some areas; midday sun can be strong for babies.

An amazing Zoo, with many animals and a lot to explore. My favorite points were: The big bird aviary where the birds can fly over, next you. The tropical greenhouse The savannah area where only a water feature and an electric fence seems to separate visitors from the animals.

A good experience. Small but well populated with a good range of animals, including a manatee which we had not seen before. We spent 4h30 on site, including a quick lunch and the little shop at the end. The enclosures looked big enough for the animals. Overall, we enjoyed and likely to go back at some point, reminded us of the London Zoo.

Brillant zoo. Lovely enclosures, staff were very helpful. All animals looked well maintained. Terrible weather and the zoo closed for safety and we were given a full refund. Didnt make the gift shop so my teddy collection is short 🤣 great morning out no crowds

Easily one of the best zoos I have been to. Went on a day where it was rainy midday and the zoo was nearly empty. We had great weather and the animals were awake and active. The enclosures seemed like they had planets of space for the animals within them and the animals seemed content, which made me happy.

We have spent 3 hours exploring the zoo. We enjoyed our time. The zoo route is clear and guides u easily between animals. It contains a good variety of animals & birds. It could have been great if there were an elephant and bear. A recommendation for sure!
