Love it!One of the most interesting zoo 's I've ever been to. The Lions are A M A Z I N G, penguins and flamingos too. Don't miss the Gorilla family !! :) definitely I'm coming back again and again.

Squirrel Monkey: Ask the zoo keeper (not the red jumper volunteers, but the guys in green tops) when they feed them. That's the best time to see all of them together, including the new three babies!

Valentina Dal Mas

Lovely clean spacious zoo ! Animals are well fed and treated, cages not small but good sizes. My spotlight was the tigers. But every animal is worth to see. I spent all day long and it is def a must

Saad M ™

Visit the zoo on a clear day so the kids can Interact with some of the animals, not the lion of course!! ???? don't forget to visit regent park after the zoo , Enjoy ✌️ تجي لندن لازم تجي حديقه الحيوانات

Lee Hart

An amazing zoo right in the the heart of London's Regents Park . great day out with a great array of information and talks that go on throughout the day.

Chris Phillips

If you live anywhere in Greater London and love animals, membership is worth the investment. It's expensive but you can come as often as you like, and includes Whipsnade Zoo as well .

Sara

It was lovely i want to go again ! Its big & you will walk a lot , so wear comfy shoes .. If you were going with a child - go early so you can see everything ..

Huzaifa Khambalia

Excellent day out! Be prepared for lots of walking around so wear comfy shoes ! Worth prebooking tickets online as they can be a queue (though it moves very quickly)

Cody

Visiting in the winter means a more peaceful experience to enjoy the animals. Some may be inside for the winter, so be sure to mosey in when you can't spot them outside.

Nice zoo (love the penguin beach by the way) there are many species of animals here but from tube to the zoo needs some energy. Take a bus instead.

Colbert Silva

Delicious pancakes with some awesome topping... Tea , warm and toasty paninni sandwiches and orange juice ... Tasty snack after our sunday walk

Kostas Staveris

One of the best I have ever been , one of the biggest credits is the connection with the river bus !! You can stop to little Venice or even Camden town .

Senay

Probably the most enjoyable zoo I ve ever been. Not so crowded and many activities to do. Favourite part is penguin beach

Emily Cheung

Amazing zoo , the animals were quite active the day I went and a few came right up to the barriers so it was the closest I had seen many animals.

Louis Vuitton

The Snowdon Aviary at London Zoo was co-designed by the Earl of Snowdon, husband of HRH The Princess Margaret. The swans, officially owned by the Crown, fly freely on the canal next door!

Sara

We loved walking between monkeys ,, & walking between birds .. The gorilla , the giraffes , & the shop was nice too .. One of the best places in london

Just the place in London if you’re into animals. Well looked after. If I lived closer I’d become a member.

Love London zoo..went there in summer time enjoyed every moment..you should go there early

Gina Lipovics

Happy to see the amount of space each animal has although the zoo is missing some great animals I would have loved to see. ????

Valentina Dal Mas

Buy tickets in advanced on internet and be there just before 10am when it opens. Take overground + bus 274 to get there easily.

Allison Lansberry

A fabulous zoo . In my top ten best London spots. One of the zoos in the world. Don't forget to visit the Aquarium .

Omar Al-Aqeel

Amazing place, with many wild animals

Jenn P

Great exhibits . Seems they work hard to make a more natural feeling.

Sachin Mangal

Tigers/Lions are pretty cool. And don't forget to check Gorillas while you are there. Ohh and golden monkeys are so cute .

HISTORY UK

Victoria

A great place to visit in London! Educational 10 ⭐️ ????????????????????????

Priya Tungrus

Always torn about zoos , but the conservation ZSL do makes up for it here. The animals seem happy!

Alex Coady

'Meet the Monkeys' is literally amazing. You're in the enclosure with them and they roam around your feet and pose for photos.

Kara Guppy

It's bigger than it looks and it's easy to spend a whole day here looking at the animals!

ahmed

What’s not good here? One of the best days out you will ever have.

Jeffrey-Ryan B.

Perfect day to visit is when it is overcast or rainy a bit as the animals will almost all be out and about to see!

Lion Witch Wardrobe

Want to see some really fascinating animals? Then get your tickets to see The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe live on stage now at Kensington Gardens !

ToryBurch

Visit the world-famous Gorilla Kindom for a one of a kind zoo experience. Only a moat and sections of glass separate you from the kings of the jungle.

Jim West

You can save a few quid and beat the long queues if you buy your tickets online Read more

Jon Lefley

Always do the national rail 2 for one offer- you can't fast track but saves £25

Senite8

Great zoo for kids. Price is 25£ per person.

Roy Wilsker

Great set up, fun to walk around. Had a terrific time

Asadur Ashik

Ricky the Penguin and Polly the Galapagos tortoise and Molly the giraffe are my friends now!

Ed Harrison

Bigger than you think - after three visits, there are still areas we've not seen yet!

Aleksei Kerdiashov

You should buy tickets online. It is cheaper and you avoid really long queues at the entrance.

Anthony Davies

A lot to see! If you're staying for a few days it might be worth making this a two-day-thing!

Jenny Haniver

Beat the queues and buy tickets online, also best to try go when off season to get to see most things. Plus no penguins til the summer

Sarah

Amazing evening. Really loved Popdogs!

Irfan Qureshi

There is only one cashpoint (ATM ) in the zoo and that's in the gift shop and it charges you. Always bring cash with you in case the machine is broken. As I said, there's only ONE cashpoint (ATM )

Stephan Schmidt

Go see the new Penguin beach and have a shake nearby at s'Blended.
