Terence Eulalie Llanda-Subade](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/109849150832236328693/reviews) ★★★★★ Lots of fun activities for the kids. One day is not enough to do all the activities so I reccommend going back! Some of the activities are not included in the entramce ticket so you have to pay extra. The zoo layout was going in circles so always check your map. They have Peppa Pig and Dinosaur meet and and greet when we visited. Lots of animals to see and the best dinosaur park we have been so far. Arrive before opening times so the queu is not that long for the entrance. Overall, it was a wonderful experience. · via Google [Tamarin Louw](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/116810980700125105535/reviews) ★★★★★ I visited with my 18 month old, she absolutely loves animals. It was so nice to see a lot of enclosures you could go into and really see the animals up close. They have everything there for kids, including a splash pool, lovely big park and soft play! We ended our day with soft play which was the cherry on top of her day. We also upgraded to membership so we can keep going back there! · via Google [Deborah H](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/105329081616653998251/reviews) ★★★★★ A good day out - would say membership cost effective if local or using ZSEA cards for a free visit is recommended to get the most of it. Dinosaurs were amazing. Long trek to the entrance from the car park so arrive early if you need to park close by. Zoo animals were enjoyed by all. Some no sees such as the tigers but we expect that from a good enclosure to be honest. Bird display was very busy so couldn't find a seat but worth a watch as so few places do these any more. The boulder beach was a bit uninspiring and empty. Would prob not go just for this aspect unless a member already! Found it tricky to find a drink at one point but there's a good range of food outlets at entrance. They didn't stay open until close so we missed out on donuts! Overall we spent an afternoon here - about four to five hours. · via Google [Shipra Suman](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/102950181892542098331/reviews) ★★★★★ We had such a fantastic day out at Hertfordshire Zoo! The entire park has a wonderfully welcoming and vibrant atmosphere while still feeling calm, safe, and amazingly well-maintained. There is so much to see and do throughout the day—from watching the impressive big cats, penguins, and primates to stepping back in time along the World of Dinosaurs trail. The habitats are modern and spacious, and the entire layout makes for a smooth, stress-free experience where you can enjoy everything at your own pace. 🦖 Fun Fact: The zoo's World of Dinosaurs attraction is one of the biggest in the UK, featuring over 40 life-sized, moving, and roaring animatronic dinosaurs hidden among the woodland trails! Also, if you ever watched the popular CBBC show One Zoo Three, this is the exact zoo where CBBC brothers Aaron, Tyler, and Cam film their animal conservation adventures! 🚗 Parking: Ample on-site parking available with dedicated accessible bays located close to the main entrance, making arrival quick and completely hassle-free. ♿ Accessibility: Excellent, mostly flat, and paved pathways throughout the park that are smooth and easy to navigate with wheelchairs, pushchairs, or mobility scooters. 🚻 Toilets: Exceptionally clean, well-maintained restrooms, accessible facilities, and baby changing spaces are conveniently distributed across key areas of the zoo. · via Google [See all reviews on Google →](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m4!3m3!1s0x48762119e90bd203:0x78a7f79018d64e08!9m1!1b1?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) People say this zoo offers a wide variety of animals, including big cats, and features an amazing dinosaur park with animatronic displays.
