“Need to bring back the talks and feeding also allow you in to see the small monkeys and don’t like the way they take you round as you can miss things . only spend couple of hours as not much to see. cost a lot and also voucher code didn’t come off at checkout on internet but was a ok day .”
“Really disappointing if I am honest. We travelled 2.5 hours to visit Twycross as we remembered it from before as a great day out. Oh dear, what's changed??
25% discount at the moment so we went to book. Go all the way through to checkout and discount went, couldn't get it back any which way and all reference to it had gone from the website .
So we booked anyway, and then an hour later it was back, I'm happy the money is going to conservation but the staff were super unhelpful saying that the discount only applies to a limited number of tickets per day and there was nothing they could do.
So we went along and visited anyway.
No birds, they are all locked away because of avian flu, many enclosures closed, no orangutan's, no bonobo's, no lorikeets, no lemurs, no staff in sight anywhere, no keeper talks, no feedings ......not really what you'd expect from a zoo.
Especially one more expensive than London zoo and whipsnade, certainly a better day out there.
And one final point the whole place is sooo muddy, huge puddles and mud everywhere, take your wellies you'll need it.”
“We visited Twycross ZOO with our two boys and we all had a fantastic day out. One if the highlights was hand feeding the lorekeets but the main reason was seeing the snow leopards and gorillas for the first time. We had the best fish & chips next to the Gorilla Enclosure and we loved seeing all the different apes and monkeys in the ZOO including several species we never even heard of before. Great family trip, can’t wait to return!”
“This is a great zoo - it's mainly monkeys but they have some other star residents /attractions including penguins, jaguar, meerkats, otters and many more including a pair of snow leopards! I was so excited to see them - best to get there early in the morning if you want to.They've also built a 'gibbon village' in recent years and - most amazing - a walk with lemurs experience where you actually go in with the lemurs. My nearly-two-year-old was laughing his head off at the monkeys. Loved it. I believe that some or all of the elephants are being moved this year but they still have giraffes. Be aware it's a huge zoo so lots of walking but lots to see. Giving it a high 4 stars.”
“Such a good day out! One of the best things is how spread out things are, so even on the busiest days, it doesn’t feel overcrowded. Loads of animals and some pretty cool spaces for them too. The monkeys are always good to watch, and there’s loads of different types here. Decent amount of parking which is free, loads of picnic areas and some decent food and drink places around too. All in all, one of the best zoos we’ve been to in the UK.”
