The highlight was the lemur enclosure where I had a lemur sitting on my shoulder! The highlight of some of the children's holiday!

Visited this attraction for the first time in many years, some of the animal cages did need better thought and felt very sorry for the meercats in a inside pen with little room to explore and perch as in their natural habitat- however the lemurs outside were pure magic as they freely leap all over the visitors and were a...

We took our grandchildren ( 3 1/2 and 12) to this attraction in August 2011, the tropical bird aviary was very hot , so beware. If you are quiet and stand still, you will see the very small brightly coloured birds weaving their way through the shrubs, trees and exotic plants, take a while to enjoy this experience. The out-door... More

Amazon Zoo World is wonderful for kids. My 8yr old son thoroughly enjoyed it, and got to handle a corn snake.As an adult I found the enclosures too small for many of the animals. But a fair price for the facilities provided. Easily accessible by bus.

The first part is basically an enormous greenhouse, a bit like going into the hothouse at Kew Gardens but with birds and amimals included. Large collection of South American monkeys, and a great children's adventure playground outside.

Went here a few years ago and iot was a nice little zoo and I'm sure it must have been good value as we took 3 kids with us. However on returning last week my overwhelming impression was, 'what a waste of money!' I appreciate that a day out in this country can coast up to £100 for a family... More

This was a well laid out, interesting and fun attraction. There was plenty to keep children interested and some good information to keep adults interested. There was a serious aspect behind it all, and that came across well in the very informative guide book, as well as in the exhibits. The walk through lemur pen was good fun, and something... More
