Visit websiteSuch a quality zoo on such a small island is remarkable. The wildlife are given decent sized enclosures with variety of entertainment. The information boards are well presented and detailed. Food in the cafe was delicious, fairly priced and well presented. Bus from St Helier is every 30 minutes, tap on payment, very easy. Grand day out.
Such a special place ❤️ Jersey Zoo is so much more than just a zoo. Beautiful grounds, incredibly well looked after animals and, most importantly, you can really feel how much care goes into conservation and animal welfare. It’s peaceful, beautifully kept and somehow never feels overly commercial. You can easily spend hours wandering around and still not want to leave. Definitely one of Jersey’s little treasures and a place I’m always happy to come back to. 🐒🌿❤️
Such a wonderful little zoo. I appreciate that it prioritises welfare over the quantity of animals and there is a focus on primates and birds. The giant tortoises and gorillas enclosures were particularly spacious and suitable for the species. The highlight for me was the keeper talks, I went to the orangutan, tortoise and gelada ones. The keepers were so knowledgeable and friendly and the talks were a good length and very informative, it was nice that they introduced each animal by name. Would highly recommend.
Arrived late morning. I recommend buying tickets a day or more in advance as that is when they are cheapest. Buying online on the day is a bit more expensive, but still cheaper than buying on site. The grounds are beautiful to walk around and a welcome bonus to seeing all the animals. Whilst a small zoo compared to other more international destinations, my wife and I still spent several hours here walking around. Our personal highlight was the aviary you could walk through to see lots of Asian birds. I loved the java sparrow when it did appear. Near the entrance is a lovely picnic area with the resident red-breasted geese chilling and relaxing on the grass. The cafe in the entrance sells takeaway coffee in case you need a pick-me-up before beginning your tour. Just remember to wear loose/baggy clothes as the reptile area, tortoise tunnel, and butterfly area are very warm inside! And if you have time, definitely take some time to visit the on-site charity shop. Got a few bargains to take home 😄
I love this zoo, now I do live just a 3 minute drive away, so that’s convenient but still it’s easy to spend a day out there without getting bored. There’s so many different animals that you can get really close to and there is also two restaurants to choose from, one in the entrance and the other inside the zoo which has a play area which really good for kids. There’s is also lots of exhibitions that definitely make it not the same thing again again.
