Hoo Zoo and Dinosaur World

Really good place. Good for kids who like a mixture of dinosaur and animals like my little one.. much bigger than it looks. Animals look well cared for, something for everyone there. Pity the Landrover rides were off cos I wanted to go on that and I think lemur walk was shut. But literally we seen every animal today but it was a sunny day. Cafe is a little pricy, it serves hot dogs , burgers, pizza and jacket potatoes. They do meal deal with a drink and fries. But not much difference in prices to other places I’ve been. Really lovely little shop and friendly staff. Really great day out. Went for opening when it was quiet and stayed until 3pm. Dinosaur exhibits is amazing. Would highly recommend.

We were offered a free visit after a wash out day in February. We redeemed that ticket today and I must say I am highly impressed. We headed straight for the dinosaurs and were amazed by the quality of the dinos! The new animatronics are incredible! We then did the feed the baby T Rex which was really good. It was so amazing to see the baby meerkats, they’re adorable! We also encountered quite a lot of staff members and they were all lovely! So kind to my toddler. Especially the lady in with the dreadlocked hair. She was at the entrance around half 10 and then in the sweet/slush shop at half 1. She went above and beyond for us ❤️. We will definitely revisit after today’s experience.

Well worth it. I thought the animals would be the highlight but the animatronic dinosaurs - wow! What an experience that was! And make sure to buy the feed because hand feeding the animals are such a special experience! Thank you Hoo Zoo for a bank of family memories! ♥️

Wonderful place! We had a fantastic time here from 10 in the morning until closing time at 5pm! 4 adults and 2 boys 6 & 8 years old. We'd made a note of the timed events throughout the day, so that we didn't miss any, and then wandered around the rest of the Zoo in between. Feeding the Deer was such a treat! They're delightful animals, and it's so rare to be able to get so close. Likewise with the Wallabies. Another favourite of the day was walking through the Ringtailed Lemur enclosure. We spent ages just watching these charming creatures, and they frequently walked right by, or sat really close. There's too many animals to mention them all, but we did get to see almost all, including Cinnamon the Capybara. The Dinosaur models were surprisingly life-like, and the automated ones, especially the TRex, were amazing. The Dinosaur Break out show was hugely entertaining, but not for any easily spooked children! It's easy to get around the Zoo as it's not huge, and that meant we could quickly get from one area to another for the keeper talks, feeding times and shows. Plenty to see, interactive activities for the kids, and a super playground. There's also the most beautiful Savannah cat who likes to wander around the picnic area. He's very handsome and he knows it! All the staff were friendly and knowledgeable and we learned a lot as we made our way around. Thanks for a great day out to all at Hoo Zoo!
