Kelly Sa month agoLovely day out for my 2 year old daughter, she loved all the animals especially the Giraffes.
Prepare for alot of walking if you've never been, as everything is scattered about.
Disappointed to not see the tiger(s), but as we went recently during the hot weather, they were probably trying to keep cool in the long grass.
Take a picnic with you, as the food is pricey.
Overall a nice day out.
Daniel Willinghama month agoAn absolutely fantastic and amazing zoo that strives excellently for conservation and has an amazing array of different animals to see. The size of the place is fairly vast and they recommend at least 4 hours for a visit to ensure you cover the whole site and see everything. There is a decent range of animals to see including Giraffes, Zebras, Antelope, Okapi, Amur Tigers, Bongo, Tamarins, Marmosets, Gibbons, Lemurs, Crocodile Monitor, Gila Monsters, Beaded Lizards, Snow Leopards, Tapirs and Pygmy Hippos, Meerkats, Sloths, Rhinos and Red Pandas to name but a few. There is also a the Wallaby Walkthrough and the Aviary Walkthroughs where you can catch a great glimpse of the Wallabies and the Tropical Birds, which are very tame and inquisitive. The animals enclosures are fairly vast and mimic their wildlife habitat very well giving a great glimpse into their life in the wild and also very tidy showing their welfare is very much cared for and this is one of the best zoos in the UK to catch great glimpse of the animals right up close and marvel at their beauty. The highlights of the animals are The Amur Tigers due to the wonderful majestic beauty and also the Giraffes as they look elegant wandering around their huge paddock. Other areas of the zoo include Marwell Hall and its Gardens which look wonderfully bright and vibrant and also there is the thriving through nature which has houses the Sandlizards and The White Tailed Crayfish and information about the conservation projects to save them and there is Cold Blooded Corner housing the Skinks and Royal Pythons. The Wild Explorers Section has some brilliant information about the conservation of Zebras, Oryx Antelope and White Rhinos in Africa. The great things about this place is that it is has contributed to a lot of Conservation projects and displays some informative information about this and it does a lot of Conservation projects compared to a lot of zoos. There is a lot of places to eat and drink at the site and they sell food and drink at very reasonable prices and there is a gift shop which sells a variety of decent souvenirs at reasonable prices. Overall this is an absolutely fantastic and phenomenal place to visit which makes for a very pleasant and endearing day out. Well worth a visit whilst in Hampshire.
Joel Pagetta month agoI recently visited Marwell Zoo and, overall, had a somewhat enjoyable time. As it was a spontaneous trip, we paid full price for tickets, which were £33.00 per adult, so it certainly wasn’t a cheap day out.
The zoo itself had both good and bad elements. Some of the newer environments were very nice, such as their Tropical House, as they felt considered and spacious. However, some of the habitats were small and looked dated and tired.
We spent about five hours exploring – it’s a big site, but there were quite a lot of enclosures under construction or with no animals in them, so it did feel somewhat underwhelming at times.
Personally, I don’t feel I would return, as it was an expensive day out, and while some parts were great, the number of empty or under-construction exhibits made it feel like we didn't get full value for money.Related categories
