What visitors say
What a wonderful day! It was blazing hot and even the animals were exhausted but that made it easy to photograph some of them. The gorilla moved to turn over and give his pits a scratch but that was it. Really enjoyed the burger and chips from the kiosk near the kids farm bit. Good value for money and the chips were especially nice (very crispy and soft in the middle). Customer service was exceptional. The otters were beyond adorable. I was a bit disappointed none of the farm animals were about but everything else was fab. The elephants were a highlight for me, definitely. Will definitely visit again soon

Really liked our visit. The zoo is lovely and has a fair few attractions to entertain all the family. We'll definitely returning and favour it over Chester. As it's so much more value for money. Parking is an additional. Also if you have any children or want food that isn't super processed or fried. I'd highly recommend you bring your own lunch. Honestly, it's a crime to only offer such cancer impactful food.

A lovely selection of animals. All appear very well looked after and all have good clear signs to read about. Accessibility around the park is great. Good descriptions about each area and when there is a change of gradient and ground. Lots of information on the website prior too. Plenty of seating around the zoo. Lots of talks scheduled through the day to learn about the animals. We really enjoyed our visit 😊 great value for money also

Blackpool zoo is a great attraction for all the family. With plenty to see and do, you will easily spend a full day here. There are leaflets available at the ticket office with information about daily animal talks/shows. We saw the sea lion one today which was well worth a look. There is a play area for young children and plenty of seasonal kiosks dotted about with ample seating. The main cafe is large with a selection of pricey food and drinks but you expect it at such attractions. Plenty of toilets and well maintained pathways for prams/wheelchairs. Shop at the exit is on the small side with highly priced children's toys, again to be expected. A bit odd the car park is pay and display-about an extra £4.50 on top of the entrance fee. That being said a great was had by all!
