I wasn't expecting the size of the zoo to be so big, and there's plenty to do around the site while seeing the animals. Food on site was good, and service was above standard. Overall, it was a great experience for all the family.

Had a fantastic time at Newquay Zoo. We were there of six hours! It isn't the biggest zoo, but it's really nicely done. Some great penguins, super cute red pandas. Talks by the keepers were really good, and they were very knowledgeable answering questions after, too. Plus, pizza at the cafe was super nice and very filling!--we didn't even finish one between the two of us. Slightly cheaper to buy tickets online, but not necessary.

What a lovely day out. Took my daughter and two Granddaughters and we all really enjoyed ourselves. So much to see and do. A real emphasis on conservation of species. The whole zoo was faultlessly clean and well kept and toilet facilities were spotless. All staff we met were knowledgeable and very friendly. I would recommend to anyone.

We love Newquay Zoo. We visit every time we are in the area. It's a smaller zoo but the price reflects this. The red pandas, Tapir and Sloths were our highlight this year. The staff are so lovely and informative. We took the land train in from the headland. You need lots of patience to spot some animals or a revisit to that area later. Slight discount if you book online

Excellent small zoo and really good to explore. Lovely grounds and so peaceful away from the main part of Newquay. Some lovely animals to see and the clever design means you can get up close to some of the primates. Highly recommend a visit if you are in the area.
