Firstly. Visit 241 London website and get a voucher to use with a train ticket. This makes this great attraction superb value for money. A good zoo. Lots of improvements made over the year, but only so much they can do with limited space in central London. My kids really liked it and we were there for 6 hours and... More

another brilliant day out at London Zoo. Highlights for us on this trip - New male gorilla amazing, 6 week old okapi calf adorable and fascinating seahorse talk. Can't recommend enough. We are ZSL members so only paid for parking as it was a Saturday. Looking forward to the restaurant reopening in August as the Pavilion restaurant is clearly temporary... More

We visited the zoo using a 2 for 1 deal with our train tickets which worked out at £25 for the two of us. There has been a lot of money spent on the zoo since our last visit, and the animals have benefitted with larger and better areas to live in. It is a full day outing and one... More

The clue is in the title. After seeing Zoo lates advertised online, we were really looking forward to meandering calmly around the zoo and seeing lots of animals before they go to bed. Unfortunately this is just not he case. The zoo is terribly overcrowded with mostly drunk people who are obviously there for nothing but alcohol and wearing stilly... More

I got a groupon voucher for the london zoo lates on a friday. I think it was £12.50 each and i have to say it was brilliant. It is for over 18s only and on 6pm-10pm. On the way to the zoo you could see everyone en route and people had made an effort getting dressed up with masks -... More

I went to the zoo lates on Friday evening. It is definitely worth a visit if you want to go to the zoo but don't want to go when it's full of kids! It opens at 6pm and we got there for when it opens and walked straight in, no real queue. There is a range of food stalls at... More

There are lots of animals to see at this zoo and we had a really enjoyable day. Overall, we spent just over 4 hours here. We visitied during term time which I would reccomend as it was not busy at all, apart from the odd school group that you ran into here and there. I particularly enjoyed the walk through... More

London Zoo is a good day out. There is plenty going on and hundreds of animals to admire. The Zoo is undergoing renovation and a lot of work has been put in over the course of the last few years. A number of exhibits are ageing, but a number are modern and enjoyable to walk around. We went on Wednesday... More

We visited with a 2 & a half year old kid, & were really impressed with the zoo, right in central London. The animals seemed to be in great health & their habitats were very well made, & maintained. Getting to see Tigers, Kangaroos, Giraffe, Zebras, penguins & lions at such close quarters was wonderful & thrilling. Seeing the animals... More
