Marwell Zoological Park

Marwell is my favourite zoo in the Uk. The animals always look well cared for and there enclosures well maintained. The highlights for me are the giffafe viewing platform, great for photos, the tiger enclosures the lemars, and the snow leopards. Some of the enclosures are still on the small side but at least they have been designed with the animal in mind. You can easily spend a whole day here as there is so much too see and do, and the zoo itself takes a fair while to walk around, there is also a free tractor and trailer ride which stops at allocated places and a train (which i believe you have to pay extra for.) if your feet get ...  Read the complete review

I love Marwell. I only live about an hour away which is great for taking younger kids that won't sit quietly any longer than an hour or so! I've been going to Marwell for years, even since I was a child anyway and have always loved going. The grounds are fantastic and at Christmas they usually have some sort of event, in 2007 they had santa and ice skating which was lovely. Going in the winter I think is the best time. As long as you don't mind wrapping up warm it's more magical. The park is all open and because it is cold most of the animals stay inside to keep warm which enables you to see most of them up a lot closer than in the summer when they are out.

I am lucky enough to live near Marwell Zoo and absolutely love visiting there. I now have two children and they love it just as much, if not more than me. The zoo itself is well set out so visitors can wamder around and see all the animals. The animals all have large enclosures and most seem perfectly happy to be there. There is a good selection of animals from big animals such as tigers, leopards and giraffes to the smaller animals such as monkeys and wallabies. Each enclosure has an information plaque telling you where the animal comes from as well as how many are left in the wild. This draws your attention to the fact that many of these animals are now ...  Read the complete review

Marwell Zoo is a 100 acre zoological park set in the heart of the Hampshire countryside, just 6 miles from Winchester, 5 from Eastleigh and 12 from Southampton. It is within reasonably easy reach of two main motorways. From the M3 it is junction 11 northbound and junction 11 southbound. From the M27 it is junction 10 westbound and junction 5 eastbound. Marwell is situated just off the B2177 (between Colden Common and Bishops Waltham). Marwell zoo is only 5 miles from where I live, and as a result I have visited it on numerous occasions with family, friends, school trips etc. I must say it is quite unique in that it has a very different feel to any other zoo ...  Read the complete review
