Welsh Mountain Zoo

Lovely family day out at an affordable price. I went as a kid and enjoyed it then and it has got better. The grounds are lovely and well kept, that are easily accessible to all, including wheelchair access to most areas. The animals are well looked after and the keepers obviously love them and their jobs, they are also lovely people and are approachable and knowledgeable. There is a wide range of animals living there from a tiger down to otters. With plenty of parking, cafes, ice cream vans, souvenir shop and picnic area, you could easily spend the day there and wear out the kids. Its easily reached by car and I believe there us a bus nearby with a walk to the zoo. It is a bit of a trek on foot from from Rhos on Sea, but the local taxi company offer a good rate from town.

Took my daughter in July 2024 and we visited again yesterday. I love this zoo mainly because it's very intimate especially on a week day when theirs less people. It's got a wide range of animals to see and it's well set out. The lady in the restaurant was very helpful and as a side point theirs excellent views from both the café and the safari restaurant. It's got a nice little gift shop and also some nice garden areas and a really impressive outdoor play area. One thing I'd change is better signage around the zoo because it's quite hard to work out where you are from the map. Also, if you don't walk well I would hire a scooter because even with a wheel chair it would be difficult in certain parts as it's VERY hilly. I think some people would struggle pushing a wheelchair up some of the hills. But a brilliant day out for all ages. I'll be getting an annual pass for me and my daughter! Good work Welsh mountain zoo❤️

Such a fun day at the Welsh Mountain Zoo! Honestly, a really great experience from start to finish. The place is huge: acres of greenery with animals that genuinely look well cared for and comfortable in their spaces, which made it even more enjoyable to walk around. There were some lovely little coffee spots dotted around, and the coffee was actually really good; such a nice break while exploring. The whole vibe felt very wholesome, with families around, kids enjoying ice cream, and just a really safe, relaxed atmosphere overall. My absolute favourite had to be the chimp. we literally had a one-on-one moment, and I’m convinced there was some real conversation happening there! The flamingos were stunning too, such a highlight. Also, the ice cream was So good. Definitely a must while you’re there. It’s the kind of place where you’d easily need a good 2–3 hours (and that’s without stopping every two minutes for pictures) to properly see everything. A perfect day out!! 10/10, would absolutely recommend!

Quite an expe sive zoo for its size however, they make up for it with how much they pack in. 3/4 exhibits were empty when we visited but even still there was plenty to see... especially the Red panda, the seals, the flamingoes and the otters. The map you get is a little vague and up tp a degree of interpretation but it does at least serve some function. On our visit we ate at the restaurant on site and the food was very pleasant and priced quite well...the drinks however are stupid money. Worth noting that they dont seem to use their listed carpark unless your disabled...rather instead they are using a field around the corner.
