What others say

Absolutely amazing zoo and my favourite in the UK! I mainly visited as I wanted to see a sloth, and I wasn't disappointed. You could get such a good view and so close! The zoo is quite big and has so many animals there! Had so much fun and definitely will be returning. The restaurant there is so nice and does amazing food for fair prices.

For a zoo, this attraction is so well organised and child friendly. A full day of 10:00 - 16:00 here was not nearly enough to see all the exhibits with sufficient time to fully appreciate the varying personalities of the animals in their magnificent enclosures.
- Richard C.
I always enjoy my visits to London Zoo. I will never take for granted how lucky I am to have this beautiful collection of some of the world’s most wonderful animal species a tube and bus ride from my house.
