We visited Linton Zoo and had a pleasant, easy-going day out overall. It’s a relatively small, traditional-style zoo rather than a modern large-scale wildlife park, so expectations should be set accordingly. The experience is quite relaxed and straightforward — you can walk around everything at your own pace without feeling rushed or overwhelmed. The variety of animals is decent for its size, with a focus on smaller and mid-sized species rather than big safari-style enclosures. The enclosures are simple but functional, and the place has a more old-school, family-run feel compared to more commercial zoos. Staff were friendly and approachable, and it feels like a place that prioritises care and maintenance over flashy presentation. It’s especially well suited for families with younger children or for a short, low-pressure visit rather than a full-day attraction with lots of entertainment layers. Food and facilities are basic but sufficient, nothing fancy. Overall, it’s not a “destination zoo” like the big national parks, but it delivers a calm, accessible wildlife experience and does exactly what it sets out to do.

Great for a quick zoo day. Very few animals to see but great for kids! Few options at cafe but there is plenty of picnic are if bringing food in.

It's an Ok place to spend like 1-2 hours around Linton. Since I drive pass the "Linto Zoo" boards everyday wanted to give it a try. Also read the reviews before coming and wasn't really expecting much. After getting the leaflet and the map I realized it's not like a mazzive concrete zoo. But it was a nice and well-maintained park and informative if you are into zoology kinda stuff and you can see some rare species. Nice staff we got the chance to talk with one staff member who talked more details about Kangaroos. Animal enclosures are bigger than usual, therefore you might miss some animals or see them far away from the fences on your 1st round, do one more round then you will see the missed ones. Good amount of car parking space, cleaner toilets, the reception gave us all the information that we needed for the visit. Also to note that if its raining better to wear suitable clothes rather than complaining later. Mixed feeling about the ticket price but I am leaning more towards that it’s fair given how expensive everything atm.

For a zoo this size, I was so so impressed! The habitats all looked clean but natural with lots of plants, and plenty of hiding spots for animals. The zoo makes it clear their primary focus is the conservation of animals, not entertainment and as someone who has been hesitant about visiting zoos because of concerns about animals welfare, I was really happy visiting here and really impressed. The animals were amazing, I particularly loved the incredible giant tortoises (truly awesome when you see in real life!) and the wallaby with a baby! We will definitely be returning - and will probably get an annual pass! There was also an excellent picnic space with a dozen or so picnic tables under shade (very appreciated as we visited on the hottest day of the year so far!) and a great play area for children of all different ages. My one word of warning would be that the walkways are all gravel covered with some tree roots etc - this was very manageable with a light pram (it wasn't deep gravel so no getting stuck in it!) but might be tricky with some prams and with wheelchairs!

Invited by staff for a rescue collection. I had my grandson with me. 2 hours was plenty timewise to see all the animals. Was glad it was not pathed and looking concrete. More as though, walking through someone's garden, which it is, just different as full of exotics. Enclosures are more natural in display and looks as these are for the animals, not the visitors. If an animal is not seen, ask staff who will advise you of their favourite hiding places. The variety of animals for this smaller site is impressive and the different cross-section is awesome. Hearing the lion roaring was pheomonal and then actually seeing them, right there, about 10ft away in their sleeping quarters, was a genuine shock as up close, you understand their sheer size and obvious strength. The giant tortoise were mind blowing, this was similar to seeing living dinosaurs. Dinosaur models are dotted around the park, as a reminder, that although their demise was not man-made; the natural world's continued survival is very much at in the hands of humans. Conservation efforts are ongoing, such as Scottish wildcat program, though small in stature, these felines are as fierce as tigers. The Amur tiger, largest tiger species, was a glorious sight resting upon her high ground dazzling in the sun in her orange and black stripe coat. The baby tapir was indoors with it's mother, but just visible. An adorable addition the world population of this unusual creature. Failed to see turtle dove, have heard them in a wild state. Apologises to any animal, I did not mention. I do not endorse many establishments, but this special park tucked away in the Cambridgshire countryside has captured my heart. Thank you to Kelly and her Aunt. I will return...
