Bristol Zoo Gardens

My Wife for the last two years have purchased the year pass for Bristol Zoo As its quite expensive to purchase tickets on an individual basis nearly 12 pounds If you are both to visit the zoo 3-4 times it pays for itself. Bristol Zoo is based in Clifton a lovely area of Bristol next to the downs a large grassed park which is fantastic to visit as part of tour of Bristol. A great benefit of buying the year pass is that there is no queueing you can walk straight in,to the astonishment of all the individual paying customers. The yearly pass also entitles the customer to park there car in the Zoo car park at 50% discount but its actually possible to get ...  Read the complete review

Bristol Zoo offers a wide range of animals and attractions, such as the walk under penguins area, walk through Lemurs pen and the Butterfly area, where you can mingle with these friendly flying flutterbies! Sadly, Wendy the Elephant died a few years back and has not been replaced - a zoo without an Elephant is a bit bizarre seeing as most zoo signs show an elephant! However, there are pygmy hippos, flamingos, gorillas, lions, red pandas, snakes, min crocodiles, big tortoises, iguanas, fish - including some 'nemos'! There's also displays and talks on the lawn and other areas which let you get up close with different animals and/or to hear about ...  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.

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.

Bristol Zoo is located towards the outskirts of Bristol in Clifton, close to the famous suspension bridge. It's outrageously good fun and has a great range of animals that never fail to amuse. Lions, Crocodiles, Lemurs and Gorillas are joined by the weirder or rarer Pudu, Lorikeets, Red Pandas and my personal favourite the Slow Loris (Youtube it, they're crazy cool.). The full amount of animals, birds, fish and insects is really big and it will take you about half a day to see them all. A few points stood out on my last trip. Firstly, the enclosures are really inventive. The aviaries have crashed planes, thick foliage and streams; the nocturnal ...  Read the complete review
