I have visited this zoo a few times over about 35 years and it is still a really nice outing. The animals look healthy, the cages are clean and there are plenty of food stalls throughout the zoo. We rented a golf cart and even with it we spent almost 4 hours in the zoo. There are a large number of empty cages, but I guess with the direction conservation is moving, it is difficult to replace an animal when it becomes deceased. If you are planning to go, I advise that you go early. Around 9:00. Take sunscreen, water and your own food, if you choose, and wear comfortable clothing and shoes. A stroller for little children is also essential.More
We caught an Uber to the Military Museum next door, and after doing that, came to the zoo, to make a complete day out. Plenty to see, and the animals have nice big enclosures, and in a lot of cases moats/walls surrounding, so you're not looking through wire fences. Plenty of grassy space to sit / picnic too. At the end, we struggled to get an Uber back as they'd gone on strike, and the zoo was about to close, and we didn't know the phone numbers for any local taxi firms, but the staff at the golf buggy hire station were incredibly helpful, arranging a car for us, and making sure the driver knew where to take us and that we knew what the fare would be. They were so wonderful, at a time when we were starting to get a bit desperate, really appreciated them.More
While I'm against the concept of wild animals living in zoo's in general, this zoo is well laid out (requires the better part of a full day to visit without rushing) and decently maintained. Safe parking is available. What was disappointing was the lack of availability of golf carts for hire - we put our name down on the waiting list, but were never called.More
Very nice restaurant. Good food and good price. Overall zoo in very good standard. The red panda was my favourite animal! More
Easy access parking with good clear signage and plenty security. Once inside you will be astounded to see how clean and well kept the zoo is. Enclosures are clean and well maintained. Staff is helpful and friendly.More
