“We had a fantastic day at Twycross Zoo with our 2-year-old! The zoo is very family-friendly, with plenty of space for little ones to walk around safely and explore. Our toddler loved seeing the monkeys, giraffes, and penguins, and there were lots of opportunities to get close to the animals.
The play areas were a huge hit and provided a great break between exhibits. The facilities were excellent, with clean toilets, baby-changing facilities, and plenty of places to stop for snacks and drinks. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout our visit.
The zoo is well laid out, making it easy to navigate with a pushchair, and there was plenty to keep both children and adults entertained all day. We created some wonderful family memories and would definitely recommend Twycross Zoo to anyone visiting with young children. We can’t wait to come back!”
“Few things were still shut when we first arrived, opened later during the day. There’s no clear way to walk around in a way that makes sense, find yourself walking back on yourself. Enclosures were beautiful, was amazing to be able to get up close to the animals.”
“We chose to go twycross zoo and to be honest it wasn't the best experience we had there, it was way to busy, most animals were inside and the queues was massive to go see the animals and having a Sen child that is not ideal, I mean any child it's not ideal. It was around 12pm and the animals still weren't out which I can't understand why the animals are all inside when they open alot earlier. We ended our day out alot earlier than expected because we was so disappointed to not see many animals”
“Lots of fun to be had! A good day out for the family. Unfortunately lots of areas were having work so unaccessible to us but we still spent a good 4-5 hours here. Kiosks were closed which was a shame but lots of picnic areas to enjoy. It can get very busy so we personally avoid peak times so we can take our time.”
“Pros - Mostly clean, mapped out well, lots to see, some things to do (could be more and better) ie more face paint stalls in the summer.
Staff were all good around people from my experience, plenty of bins provided and safety measures implemented (sanitiser mats) etc.
Could maybe use some more hand sanitiser stations, anyway great place to go!
Con - my only main con was the food, little bit dear but still manageable by the average family having a day out but the quality and option for the price was not good ...
Still the place is great to take a picnic and the new water area is amazing for the children, I recommend people to go!”
