we have now been to the Isle of Wight zoo 3 times this year and loved it every time, our 2 children loved it as they could see all of the animals, the zoo is a small and does not take long to walk round but is very nice and we will definatly be going back next year. more

My daughter and myself recently visited the Isle of White Zoo and were very pleased to see the dedication the staff have to these wonderful animals in their care. You can hear the lions roaring before you even enter the zoo. The guide who gave us a talk about the Tigers, Lions and Jaguars was very informative and clearly knew... more

This zoo is very small compared to others and is mainly a tiger sanctuary. This was my second visit to the zoo in two years. The second time around there weren't as many tigers as in 2008. The enclosures were very small to say they housed large cats (tiger, lions and jaguars) and two of the cats were pacing up... more

I went to the Zoo Easter time 2009, myself and the family had a great time. The Tigers are beautiful and you can get so close to them, it really lets you appreciate their natural power and grace. There are also a range of primates such as Lemurs, Gibbons & Capuchins, they have other big cats, 3 gorgeous Lions and... more

We really enjoyed our few hours at the zoo, we knew it was small and we knew it contained mainly rescued tigers and lions. You were able to get very close to the big cats and it was interesting to read their back stories and good to see them well cared for. They did have some monkeys and some smaller... more

This is a very quaint and pretty zoo. I will admit that the variety of animals is nothing like marwell or longleat, but then it doesn't cost a small fortune to enter, and it is made very clear before you enter that this place is mainly a TIGER SANCTUARY and one of the largest's in europe i believe, they also... more

After reading web and leaflets it looked a good days outing, infact it was done in under an hour. Walking round you actually thought if the zoo was doing the animals any favours. It all looks tired and the loos are in some kind of cabin and had a long wait. The entrance charge is ok any more and would... more

Quite small and a bit run down. We went on a freezing day and the lemurs had all gone inside! However they do seem to be investing in new larger enclosures and you really get to see the tigers up close - about 4ft from some of them so you really get to appreciate them. Limited collections, lions, tigers, lemurs... more

Really disappointed with this place - website looks great, but in reality - the place is very small, and the space the tigers have is also very small. Expensive to get in too - would have wanted to spend the whole day there spending that much, but in truth, we'd seen everything in an hour! more
