I recently visited Bristol zoo after my trip to Somerset. My cousin went to Bristol university and recommended that I visit the zoo gardens. I paid £12.50 to get in which I though was very reasonable compared to other zoos I have visited across the country! Car parking was £3 for the whole day which wasn't too bad, but other zoos don't tend to Charge for the use of there car park, I'm not too bothered though due to the fact I had a great day! Location: Located just outside Bristol city centre, its very easy to find by the signs and your sat nav, I had no trouble finding it. It's in a lovely area which is very appealing to look at.

Bristol Zoo Gardens is a charitable organisation dedicated to the conservation of endangered species and habitats. It is located in the Clifton area of Bristol and covers an area of 12 acres. This might seem small compared to attractions of a similar nature, but they have really maximised their space without compromising on providing the best possible habitats for their animals. The zoo is open from 9am-5.30pm and I usually spend 5 hours here on a typical visit. ===GETTING THERE=== It is quite a walk to get there from the town centre so I would recommend getting the local 8 or 9 bus which leaves at various points through the city centre. This is ...  Read the complete review

I regularly visited Bristol Zoo as a child as it isn't too far from Wales. Getting there is easy for everybody however. After taking a train to Bristol Temple Meads, you can take a bus from outside the station to Clifton. The drivers are helpful if you're not sure which bus to take. The zoo itself isn't that large and is easily seen in a day. The thing that struck me was how well organised it is. The zoo is split into several definitive areas such as the Seal and Penguin coast, the Reptile House and Zona Brazil. You won't find too many large animals at Bristol Zoo. They were phased out over the last 20 years. Exceptions to this rule are the 2 ...  Read the complete review

I've been wanting to take my twins on a day trip somewhere all year but I'm limited as to what I can do with 21 month twins on my own especially as I don't drive. I asked my darling 15 year old brother if he fancied a trip somewhere and we both agreed on Bristol Zoo as it was a fair distance to go to get us out of Newport for a few hours as a break yet not too far to struggle with two babies. A FEW FACTS Bristol Zoo is open daily from 9 to 5.30 peak time and closing at 5pm off peak. It is shut on Christmas day! These prices include the voluntary donation; Adults 12.50 Child (3-14) 7.75 Under 3 - Free How to get ...  Read the complete review

I love the zoo. I have been to all local zoo's and wildlife parks, including london zoo. I am quite the keen animal lover. I havent always driven either so it hasnt always been easy to get to other zoo's. i drove to bristol, so i am unsure how close it is to train stations and other public transport. but it was very easy to find without a sat nav or anything and i live about three hours from bristol. it was very reasonable pricing even with the donation. without a donation it was £11.36. food and drink as you would expect was still overpriced, but nowhere near as bad as some of the zoo's i had been to. you could get a reasonably sized soft drink for just over a pound.
