Had a fantastic day at Dudley Zoo and Castle - 4.5 hours of seeing lots of wonderful animals, a lovely walk and a great castle to end the visit. Don't be put off by the old looking entrance and past reputations - this is a place on the up and well worth a visit. Delighted to hear that there has... More

This place looks really dissapointing when you park up. Once inside it comes to life. there are so many animals to see, well spaced out and in really good enclosures. All the animals look happy and are well kept. The zoo is very hilly and would be hard if pushing a wheel chair round I think but accessible if you... More

Duldey Zoo has improved considerable in the last few years. Not all of its wonderful buildings have yet been restored but excellent progress has been made.

Went there a while ago with school children, but no animals. I went there many times when I was a child and the Zoo was a Zoo, with animals. The children were very disappointed. More

Dudley zoo is a nice little day out for little ones. Quite a few animals to look at best to go in summer when thers more about. It is very hilly so good walking shoes would be good. There is a little train that will take you to the top near castle for a small charge. The food is crap... More
