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!

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 ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

Bristol Zoo is an oddly designed structure in that it is totally enclosed within Clifton Town itself, its high perimeter walls preventing man from entering and indeed, more importantly for the inhabitants of Clifton, prevent beast from escaping. Situated between Clifton Down and Clifton College, Bristol, this quirky and quaint zoo was ...  Read the complete review

After a ...  Read the complete review

Bristol Zoo was started in 1835 by some eminent local citizens who wanted to create an attraction for the people of Bristol to explore and enjoy, some of the descendents of those local citizens are still on the board even today!

UPDATE *** I went to the zoo last Friday (May 25th) with my kids' school. It was interesting going as part of a school trip, as we had an educational talk about the rainforest too, which was very good. The Foot and Mouth crisis has changed a few things - the elephant can be seen from a distance, but not close up; the giraffes ...  Read the complete review
