We have not enjoyed a day at the zoo as much as we did at the IOW Zoo. We decided to visit the zoo a it was a stone’s throw away from our hotel. We arrived just before opening time so expected the zoo to still be waking up, which it was but didn't take long. During our four hours... More

I was there two days ago, twice in a week. There over 40 years ago. Different place, animals happy and well loved. Agree lots of areas need updating but that will come when money is available. Bottom line - animals happy - keepers so nice - love their animals. Will go back.
