Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This breeding zoo is perfect for a day out. I went with my daughter, grandson and a friend and her toddler and we all had a great time. You can easily spend an entire day at the zoo, with lots of well cared for animals, and some great kids play areas as well as a mini train. The staff were all knowledgeable and very friendly. You can buy food, or bring your own for a picnic. Suitable for all ages. Highly recommend this lovely zoo.

Great zoo with lots to experience, at least 2-3 hours is recommended. I have been to other zoos (like Artis) and worried this zoo might be too similar, but I found plenty of differences that made the visit well worth it. There are nice enclosures for the animals and lots of displays I was not used to. There is a mini train, pedal boats, a carousel ride, other rides, and playgrounds as well. Things are thoughtfully planned out -- benches for parents by the big playground, lots of toilets well-placed all over the zoo (which I cannot say for other zoos). The staff are friendly and will chat to children about what they are doing, if they are working with one of the animals. There is also a large "dino park" area, which is a bunch of fiberglass dinosaur sculptures. I thought it might be cheesy but they have done a really nice job with it. Everything is neat and tidy and well-kept.

We had a great day out. The animals seem well cared for and the cages are roomy and full of light and entertainment to stop them from getting bored. Lots to do and see for children. The dinosaur park is a great addition for young children and adults alike.

A brilliant zoo with really well thought out experiences for visitors but also the animals. A lot of the animals have an alternative route through the enclosure which is great for the kids and usually with a slide at the end. Probably the best zoo we’ve ever been to in Europe.

We went to the zoo on the 1st of January as it was one of the very few attractions that were open. It was a thrilling experience! It is a beautiful zoo which is kept in an outstanding condition. It almost doesn't feel like you're at the zoo as it does not create the impression of caged animals in the least. It has extraordinary animals such as tigers, camels, zebras, red pandas, bears and elephants. It has a great little shop and a wonderful restaurant. It was a very cold day so most of the little food stalls were closed but the restaurant had a lovely fireplace which kept us all warm. I would definitely recommend a visit and you can take your dog along if you want too. It has great attractions for kids with a wonderful play area. It can get very busy so get there early.

Large and enjoyable zoo with wide range of animals. Spent five or six hours there, wandering around. And seeing the animals. Looked to be good for children, including a section on dinosaurs, slides placed everywhere, peddle boats and a train.

I was pleasantly surprised with this zoo. (The weather was good so that probably added something to the overal experience). It's located in the woods so the surroundings are very natural. Love the fresh air.

A lot of the areas where the animals stay have glass fences from the bottom up. You can also look into them from different sides. Assuring you will almost always see the animal. We got a really close look at the tigers and lions. Absolutely stunning to see these animals just a few centimeters (!) away.'

Grounds were kept really well and staff was friendly. Definite recommendation!
