Blackpool Zoo

On a recent visit to Blackpool we visited the Blackpool zoo for the first time, although we have been to Blackpool twice before in the past few years we didn't go to the zoo during these visits, we read about the zoo on the internet and a few friends had told us it was really good. Unfornately we went to Blackpool for the illuminations and the weather wasn't great but we still went to the zoo and had a great day, the zoo opens at 10am and there is a bus running from Blackpool prom (outside the Tower) that takes you right to the zoo, however we didn't realise this so we got a taxi to the zoo. The entrance to the zoo is a building with the payment ...  Read the complete review

I go to Blackpool regularly. I have been in most of the attractions & this is no exception. I would descibe the Zoo as mid size. This is a good thing. You can get round it quickly if you like spending a few minutes at each enlosure & get out in half a day. Equally, if you want to know more about the animals you can comfortably spend an entire day inside. There are lots of animals from different places around the world. These include Big Cats, Hoof animals, Sea Faring Mammals & Birds also things that you won't see often like Lemurs, Kangaroos & Wallabies. There are lots of plus points. Loads of animals for starters.

For the last two years my daughter and I have enjoyed a few days in Blackpool, and on both trips our favourite of all the attractions was the zoo, in fact it was only 3 days since our recent visit and my daughter is still talking about it. Situated just a couple of miles from The Golden Mile Promenade I believe it is easily accessible and sign posted for cars from the M6, and has a large car park. However as I don't drive and we were staying in Blackpool, we took the open top sightseeing bus from the tower, which stops at all the big attractions and the nearby Haven and Pontins holiday parks, and takes you right up to the Zoo entrance. Set in 32 acres of ...  Read the complete review

I went to blackpool zoo with 2 other adults, 3 children under the age of 6 and a small baby. We all loved it. The enclosures are close together so there's not lots of walking. The park feels spacious so its easy to navigate with a pushchair/ wheelchair. Although it was a Tuesday in June when we visited so not a bank holiday/ school holidays or weekend. When I went there was some new enclosures being built so maybe next year (2010) there will be more animals. Theres elephants (all females). lions (2 females, 1 male and 3 cubs). 1 male tiger, orangutans, giraffes, reptile house, birds of prey, sea lions, meerkats, zebras, various breeds of ...  Read the complete review
