   I visited this zoo with my son on October half term and we both thought it was one of the best we'd been to. There were so many amazing animals to see, and we could view them really well. The environments looked lovely and natural for the animals. We got round the whole zoo and then went back to our favourite animals. The cheetahs were lovely to see, they clearly are used to people and followed the train as it went past their enclosure! The white tiger was magnificent, and we enjoyed seeing the gorgeous lynx, the sleepy wombats and walking through the aviary. The play park was also very good and had some unusual climbing frames to try out! We had such a great day and really recommend this zoo park.

   BEST Zoo i’ve attended. It brought me back to childhood. I cannot express how thoroughly i enjoyed the vast amount of animals, the expansive nature of the zoo park is great for a full days worth of fun! We came during the October half term and did not feel overwhelmed with people because there is a great amount of space, easy parking, large spacious bathrooms that were cleaned throughout the day. I cannot say a bad word. The cafe serve tasty hot meals, quick to arrive and reasonably priced. The cafe was a squeeze however, we attended during the lunch time rush, there is outdoor seating if you can brave the cold. Hot drinks and cakes also available. I feel Hamerton zoo park is brilliant for all ages- my daughter fell in love with the amazing playground with a zip line, high climbing frame and interesting cube maze that was fun and challenging. We will certainly be back with more family in the Summer.

   Lovely day out. Took our friend who's never been before. Zoo entrance and shop has been modernised. Lots to animals see and watch. We really enjoyed our day. Cafe sandwiches were nice, but the part cooked sausage rolls were not so good. Note: Carers pushing wheelchairs don't get free entry anymore, not even with a "carers card". The zoo has their own system to apply for.

   Always loved Hamerton Zoo. Used to visit a lot with my children now have purchased season ticket to take grandson. Not too far for us so can go regularly. Love the bird house and nice to see the improvements over the years with lots undercover. Nice enclosures. Play park vastly improved. Large cat area still being updated. Cafe whilst improved facilities is seriously lacking. Food pretty awful but coffee and cake fine. Missing a trick I think as some good healthy food choices & a range of cakes would be far better. Didn't see any baby food options. Gift shop looks OK but at the end of the day am going to see the animals so its a fab day out!

   Brilliant place. Big enough for a day out, small enough to get around again if somethings not out. Some very unusual zoo based critters, we say around 6 or 7 we've never seen before. For example wombats, ardwolves, dingos, brown hyenas Really kid friendly, play areas are very good. Very wheel chair and mobility scooter friendly. It"s clearly a zoo that's growing, the animals look really happy and breeding. Can't wait to keep visiting and see whose next to arrive. Cafe is limited for gluten free, but you can get a jacket, chips and I think the burger or 1 of the hotdogs.

   It is a lovely park and does have some really good animals you wouldn't normally see, we were lucky and the Syrian bears had come out of hibernation, beautiful white tiger and you felt so close to a lot of the animals. It's a bit tired on the outside and on the first half you can very clearly see the old and the new, just needs some a fresh bit of paint and a bit of care. Was a little sad as much as I was absolutely obsessed with the sloths and how active they were it is a small environment for 5 of them.

   Great place to visit, awesome variety of animals and super friendly staff! Was incredibly quiet when we went which was even better because we didn't feel rushed by others. Would definitely go again/take kids/recommend to anybody. Very respectable and reasonable price too.

   The zoo has lots of animals ( exotic/endangered/rate ones). Outdoor play area for kids. Took my 7 yr old and 2.5 yr old(free entry under 3) today. Thoroughly enjoyed the time there. Highly recommended for any families or animal enthusiasts....

   A hidden gem in the middle of nowhere. They have tigers, camels, bears, meerkats, a wide variety of apes and monkeys, and a lovely walk-through aviary with budgies and finches. They are always improving the exhibits so don't be surprised to see work going on. There's a decent children's play area and a train ride. A lot of the walkways are covered, including a picnic area, so it's still a decent place to go when it's raining. It's probably best to take your own food because the cafe is rather expensive (approaching £4 for a slice of cake).

   WOW! Honestly I am truly amazing by Hamerton Zoo, When your driving towards the zoos location you start thinking to yourself "where am I going". Upon arrival to the car park I thought it doesn't look that big.. well how wrong was I! Honestly it was amazing here, so many different animals to see, and they are clearly expanding which is fantastic to see. They have a lovely cafe inside and HUGE play park for the kids. The staff are really amazing and happy to help and talk with you. Overall I would highly recommend, I will be returning in the future! Thank you!
