We got our tickets online and the booking was very easy. There's a bus right to the zoo and a lot of parking onsite too. Even with some of the enclosures under construction it did not effect our visit and it was a lovely day out with food available on site and also other options within walking distance from the zoo.

Great zoo to visit. Hadn't been since I was a kid and it was still great. Hard to see some animals as they weren't being social due to the weather. The animals are clearly looked after well and they are improving the place all the time. The place is quite hilly so be prepared to walk. Book online before you go to save a bit of money.

Ok we went for my daughter's birthday, not my 1st choice for a trip as I don't like the idea of Zoos. But I accept they are a necessary service for the animals and humans alike. There's a walk down from the car park to the entrance to the zoo. I believe however, disabled can drive down and be dropped off. Just remembered to save some energy after a long walk round, to be able to climb the hill to get back to the car park! Although for the most part it's not a difficult walk and quite a pretty pathway. Warning it is expensive to enter, about PS26 an adult to walk through the gates. Currently you get a free visit back, if you're still in the area to see more you may have missed. So with the slightly dour start done, let's move on to the fantastic bit... The park is very clean and quite spacious, the food in the restaurant is very good for this type of venue, disabled access is very good overall. Gluten free is just about doable although choices are very limited. So bring your own if allergies are a concern, but catering staff are helpful over such matters. The important thing for me was the animals are looked after very well. There's enough room for them to exercise which is good and sleeping areas are clean. It's good to see the employees attending the animals throughout the day and feeding times are well coordinated. My daughter loves the big cats and they were on show that day, last time they hid away, so don't expect to see every animal. We never saw the rhinos at all, but they must be there somewhere! As with the rest of the zoo the cats were very chilled and seemed relaxed and unstressed, which is a great sign. A testament to the care of the keepers. There are loads of ice cream shops as you walk around and there are a few slopes to climb, so on a hot day and ice cream is a welcome break. There's also a great climbing area for the kids right near an outdoor cafe, a brilliant idea. Young people seemed to love the zoo and adults were overall captivated by the closeness of the animals hence the 5 stars. Apart from the cost of entry, the whole place is well maintained and animals seem content, I guess you get what you pay for. The shop is full of cuddly toys and key rings - great for kids, but not much for adults to take away as a memory. Overall a good day out for a family, if the cost was PS15 to enter, then I'd be happier to pay it, as it would represent value for money. Although I guess the animals need their upkeep costs paid and it can't be cheap. Definitely worth a visit, the family enjoyed the trip and walk round and great to see such a wide variety of creatures in a days walkabout. Well done Paignton Zoo!

Fairly big park They've been doing some repairs and adding new enclosure areas, so some animals are not there. It's a good place to walk around slowly and take in the exhibits, come back around if you don't see any of the animals the first time, we saw much more the second time around, although it is a bit hilly. Love the monkey and gorilla areas. Only 1 main cafe for inside seats to eat, it's busy between 11.30 & 1.30. So go after, or just take a picnic s there's a lot of benches and tables around. Some other small kiosks for hot drinks and snacks. Good shop, but it closes 30 minutes after the park, so if you want to buy anything don't leave it too late. Overall it is a good place and we enjoyed our day.

My partner and I had a lovely time seeing the animals at the wildlife park. Some of the enclosures were fantastic for the animals and they seemed to enjoying themselves :). I'm not a big fan of zoos but you could tell that this one was trying to do the best for the animals. It's a hilly route around the park but a very beautiful one.

Went to the Zoo with my work. Easy to park and get in. Lots of facilities, food places, and exhibits. Lovely helpful staff. Animals look well cared for, staff were everywhere keeping the enclosures tidy. Only complaint would be that due to natural wild growing, it is harder to see the animals in larger enclosures. Even various primates were hard to see. Will return in my own time and take a more leisurely wander.
