Paignton Zoo (Devon) Reviews

I grew up near Torbay, so many of my childhood memories involve going to Paignton Zoo for day trips, family birthdays and school trips. Everytime I was remarkably impressed, particularly when I compare it to other zoos I have been to. Firstly, and perhaps most importantly, the welfare of the animals is clearly at the heart of ...  Read the complete review

Each year there is something new to look at - this year (2009) saw the birth of three beautiful tiger cubs. Great viewing spots with plenty of ...  Read the complete review

Each enclosure is specifically designed to be as close to the animals natural habitat as physically possible. As you getting around the zoo it is very wheel chair, push chair ...  Read the complete review

My fiancé bought be a gibbon for Christmas...well when I say that he sponsored a gibbon. I was so pleased when I read the letter as love monkeys and gorillas. Last time I visited the zoo ages ago on a college trip I went home really wanting a monkey. I am always a bit funny about zoos. I hate the thought of these creatures ...  Read the complete review
