Not very big but the animals looked well cared for. Good place for couples or families with lots of different spaces to picnic. The inside aviary was wonderful, with the birds flying freely around you. It rained on the day we visited so a few of the animals were doing the sensible thing of staying indoors; can’t blame them really. Worth the price of admission if you’re in the area.

The entrance fee is acceptable at £13.90 for a senior admission. The animals seemed happy and contented in their enclosures and there was a reasonable mix of animals to view. There wasn't a great selection but we were pleased with what we did see. Two members of staff were in various locations throughout the day feeding and introducing the animals and giving information for the visitors. The animal crackers slot was really well received by the children who could be hands on with the skulls and skins available to view. The food outlets were clean and produce available at acceptable prices, not over inflated. Of course Cornish Pasties were on sale which were very tasty and the coffee was good too. Overall we had a good day 10am until around 3pm.

Came along to Newquay Zoo today, on the 20th of November. Really happy to see such a variation of animals. It was a really nice day out, and luckily we came on a really quiet day. We spoke to a lady called Rhiann, who was very friendly, knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the conservation of animals which made our trip complete. Other staff were smiley and looked happy to be there as well. Overall really nice place to visit!

My grandson missed out on purchasing some souvenirs from the gift shop and could not forget them. I emailed the gift shop and Lauren was very helpful and I was able to get the items by post. Lauren is beyond brilliant at customer service

Despite it being a cold day there were plenty of animals to see. The lemurs were fun to watch pelicans posed for us and other birds swam around. This was before we had got five minutes into the zoo. Because it was relatively quiet we got more time with the zoo ranger who was friendly and had interesting facts about the zoos animals. We even fed mongooses and meerkats - this was interesting as this involved locusts! There was a good range of lunch options - I opted for pasty and cheesy chips which were good quality and value. The tropical enclosure was lovely and warm (considering how cold it was) and the inhabitants were really interesting. All in all a good excursion.

We had a lovely trip to Newquay zoo. I have been to Cornwall many times and not realised the zoo was here until I saw it on a recommended place to visit. Yes it is smaller than some zoos but we had a lovely time, it was quiet (due to the time of year I am sure) The penguin talk given by Rhiann was really entertaining, we later followed Rhiann to feed the meerkats and the mongoose. She spent time talking to us and giving us information on the zoo and the animals, she let us feed both animals and made the trip even better. She was very knowledgeable and spent time she didn’t have to, talking to us. Really enjoyed it and definitely recommend.

Small but perfectly formed zoo. Well tended and plenty of animals to visit. Refreshments reasonably priced (the brownie was very good!) Huge thanks to Emma from the zoo education team who was so knowledgable and presented information about the animals in such an engaging way we all (adults and children alike) left wanting to share the facts we had learnt, who knew that Meerkat society was so strict! Thank you Newquay zoo for a fun and educational day out.

We love Newquay Zoo. We don't go as often as we would like but every time we do we have an amazing time. Newquay Zoo is a modern zoo with the emphasis on conservation and education, both of which are so important and done so well at Newquay. Our recommendation would be to spend a good 4 hours or more to take a couple of laps around the grounds to see animals at different times of the day and to be able to go to the talks and get some food at the cafe. . You will see everything if you spend a bit of time at each exhibit and go at different times throughout the day. Every member of staff is friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. The food is also excellent from the cafe. A very special mention goes to Rhiann one of the rangers at the zoo. On our last two visits to the zoo we have been very lucky to be able to spend time with Rhiann as she gave numerous ranger talks around the zoo. Rhiann is an absolute star and an asset to the zoo. So friendly and welcoming and incredibly knowledgeable on all things zoological. Rhiann always had so much time for us and is always willing to discuss any topic or answer any questions. Rhiann is an excellent presenter and really good with young and old customers. We really appreciate all of the team at the zoo and all of the work they do. We're going to buy memberships and make sure that we return more often. Thank you so much everybody for always brightening up even the wettest and windiest of Cornish days.

I wouldn’t call this a zoo ! Birds and more birds ! Monkeys and more monkeys ! Tortoise, zebra and fish and a few other small animals . Overpriced at £15 per person on line . Don’t waste your money Very small zoo Would not visit again got around it in just over an hour !!! Says it all !

A wonderful zoo, lovely big animal enclosures, Great talks, informative and friendly staff. Highly recommend going to the keepers talks, staff were funny and full of facts. My son loved asking and answering questions& even got to feed some animals.
