I recently visited London Zoo and overall, it was a pleasant experience. The zoo is nicely kept, with clean pathways and well-maintained enclosures. It's also spacious enough to provide a comfortable visit without feeling overcrowded. One of the highlights was the lion exhibit. Watching the family of five lions interact was truly captivating and a standout moment of the trip. They seemed healthy and well-cared-for, and it was a delight to see them in such a naturalistic setting. However, there were some notable absences and areas for improvement. Unfortunately, the zoo doesn't have any elephants, which was a bit disappointing. Additionally, the variety of animals could be better. While the existing exhibits are well-done, expanding the range of species would greatly enhance the overall experience. In conclusion, London Zoo is a lovely place to visit, especially for families. With a bit more variety in its animal collection, it could be even more impressive.

This historic zoo is over 200 years old! I loved seeing the historic architecture and the animals enjoying their surroundings. We could get really close to many of the animals, which my kid especially enjoyed. The zoo has different sections for different animals, like a tiger territory, rainforest, bird area, and butterfly palace. It's quite a large place, so plan on spending 6-8 hours to see everything. They have picnic tables with shade, so you can bring your own food or buy something from their food stalls.

London zoo is a great attraction in the heart of London for tourists and families alike! There is a great variety of animals from lions and tigers to giraffes and hippos. There are talks like for the penguins for the little children but also interesting for adults. The food is expensive as you'd expect so I'd recommend bringing your own food if possible. There are a couple free water fountains around if needed also. The staff are friendly and helpful!

Wonderful day out at the zoo. It's huge, so you need to allow 5-6 hours if you want to see everything. Amazing enclosures where you can walk with the animals. Pretty good restaurants where there are many options and short queues.

I had an incredible visit to the London Zoo today! The experience was truly unforgettable. The highlights for me were seeing the majestic Tiger, Lion, Gorilla, Giraffe, and Hippo up close. Each exhibit was thoughtfully designed to provide an engaging and educational experience. The reptiles collection was especially amazing, with a diverse array of fascinating species. It was clear that the animals are well cared for and the staff are passionate about conservation and education. Overall, a fantastic day out - I highly recommend a visit to the London Zoo!

First time back since 1993 and it has significantly improved and definitely a great day out for the family. Food and drink was at typical London prices. We never got to see all the animals as the weather wasn't great so they were hiding, but it was cool to get up close to the ring tailed limas and see the baby lowland gorilla and lion cubs.
