London Zoo

Yes, it is touristy. Yes, it is big, and yes, I'd say it's worth a trip if you've never been. The zoo is well-organised and easy to navigate, with plenty of signs to guide you (They also give you a physical map). There's a nice balance between animal exhibits, interactive displays, and areas to relax. Taking your children here is a magical experience. They'll be amazed by the variety of animals. But the zoo isn't just for kids. It's a wonderful experience for adults, too. The thoughtfully designed enclosures, like the Tiger Territory and Land of the Lions, offer a chance to see animals up close. The staff are friendly and happy to answer questions, and it's clear they care deeply about the animals. The gift store is the perfect way to end your visit. Tidy and reasonably priced, considering where you are. Filled with items that reflect the Zoo's focus on wildlife and conservation. Since this is a very popular attraction, you're best going on a weekday morning/afternoon if you find the time.

Great zoo, it’s got good sensory opportunities with seeing, touching, hearing and smelling often too 😅 penguins are away the highlight seeing them in their lil cute place. Very scenic bits. Either way it being so expensive could do with some wider drink sections inside and a bit more cost friendly.

Been coming here annually since I was a kid. The animals are well looked after and the zookeepers very passionate and knowledgeable. I’m happy to be donating to the zoo’s conservation work. Nice day out with it taking around 2 hours to get through everything. For what it is, the food and drink is reasonably priced, as are the attractions.

Enjoyed a day at The London Zoo, What a fantastic place to visit. Well organised, So much to see & do. Very friendly helpful staff. Such a Great selection of Animals & Reptiles from all over the world. Very clean & tidy zoo. The animals looked well looked after. Nice selection of cafes & restaurants and also large gift shop. Highly recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

In fairness to the zoo, this review is about Monday 6th January when it was quite cold so not many animals were out in their main habitats. It wasn't overly busy which was nice so we could spend time in each place without pressure. We spent about 3 hours - 1 hour in each zone laid out on the map. Sadly the reptile house was closed so no Harry Potter moments. No lions, penguins or otters. However, the walk through birds made up for this - so wonderful to walk amongst them and see them so close. And the snoozing tigers 🥰

Went a week ago and loved it so much that I got a membership, visited again today and had an amazing time again, saw so many animals that I never caught the first time! Weekdays give a good chance to wander round and see the animals up close, I'm amazed how many of the enclosures you can walk through! Obviously the baby gorillas and lions get a lot of attention, but there is a wide variety of other animals to see. The talks are spaced throughout the day and are a nice way to structure the visit.

A truly amazing zoo I have many fond memories of going here as a child and now taking my own children there. There is a considerable number of walk throughs allowing you to come very close to the animals but still giving them enough space to avoid you of they wish. We spent a little extra to feed the penguins which the children loved.

I was a little skeptical at first because it seemed pricey but this zoo is worth while. They had seemingly endless amounts of animals and there were plenty of opportunities to view them even though it was winter! In addition to all the animals many of the enclosures were built so that you can interact with the animals and see them face to face! If you’re visiting the city, please take some time to visit (it will be at least a 4+ hr activity)!
