Really great for small little ones and a short family day out. Not huge but enough to spend a few hours keeping the little ones busy. Different activities also, which is great. Park and cafe just outside which help give you options. Car park is a short walk and free, but can get full quickly.

I was really disappointed with this zoo. The ticket price was cheap, but I left feeling very sad for the animals. Many of the animals have very small enclosures and not enough space to move around. The Caribbean flamingos were in a small area with dirty water, and the margay wild cat was alone in a small cage. A lot of the enclosures also had double fences, so it was difficult to see the animals properly. I noticed many children couldn't see the animals at all because of this. The zoo is very small for the number of different animals it has. I would rather pay a higher ticket price if it meant the animals had bigger, cleaner spaces to live in. If the zoo cannot provide enough space for some of the bigger animals, it would be better not to keep them. I hope the zoo improves the living conditions for the animals, because they deserve much better.

Great local zoo, small but tons of fun. Amazing flamingos, amadillos, alpacas and best of all, the lovebirds just near the entrance. The cutest things I've ever seen. Staff are incredibly knowledgeable and super passionate. Great value. And free parking up near the church 5 mins walk away

Parking was easy but the car park does get very busy. We got a bit lost in the park before we found it. Friendly welcome, reasonable price to get it and you can go out and in as many times as you like until last entry on the same day. Its a bit worn around the edges but does what it says has some animals, some you can see and some you can't as they are hiding. Great mini day out if you dont want to schlep it to London zoo, and want more then hounslow urban farm. The kids enjoyed seeing all the animals. There is a small playground onsite. There is also a playground outside the zoo and a man with some bouncy castles (extra charge for bouncing as not part of the zoo) I would recommend as it is a nice place to kill a few hours.
