“We visited during the school holidays, and arrived just after 10am. Paying for parking took a while as the phone signal around the zoo was awful. We realised after that you could pay inside using a machine, so would do that next time. There was a small queue to get in but it only took about 15 minutes, so not too bad. The zoo was clean & tidy, we saw most of the animals and chatted to several very helpful staff. One by the Gibbons (their enclosure is great) and one by the Rhinos. There were plenty of stalls to get snacks and drinks, we didn't have food but there are a few options if you wanted lunch at the zoo. There are also quite a few picnic areas. The Gruffalo area is great for small children, with loads to look at and explore. Twycross is a great little zoo, with plenty to keep the family occupied.”
“We LOVED this zoo!! Perfect size for lots of adventure but without being too much for little legs! We only realised we missed the penguins when we got back haha so they’re first on the list for when we go back next week for our return trip! First visit was only end of June! But we booked to go back as soon as we could”
“My 2 year old loved the Gruffalo trail and monkeys. We didn't feel there was too many other animals to see, however. Lots of winding paths that don't lead to much.
If I go again, I'll pack swimming gear for the water park area.
A reasonable day out overall.”
“Disappointed, wasn't a cheap day out but was surprised by the missing animals!!! Animals were missing or non existent didn't see gorilla's, tigers lots of empty pens. Not sure i will return”
“Exceeded my expectations. The zoo was as well set out with plenty of space for the animals. Particularly good were the areas for the monkeys and apes. Everywhere was clean, well organised, well signed and fun.”
“Had a great day at TZ for my youngest’s 11th birthday. Plenty of staff around, very friendly. Animals looked healthy and well looked after, even if some of the enclosures seemed a little small.”
“Our grandchildren were so looking forward to seeing the animals at Twycross.
Unfortunately, during our visit, most of the animals decided to stay indoors and were not visible in their open enclosures. That’s nature I suppose!”
