A Fun Day Out! I recently had the opportunity to visit Twycross Zoo on a works trip, and I'm glad I decided to stay over and explore this hidden gem. Located in a convenient spot, the zoo offers ample parking, making it easily accessible for visitors. Upon entering, I was pleased to find the admission price to be reasonable, at PS26.00 per person. As I wandered through the zoo, I was impressed by the quality of the enclosures and cages, which seemed to cater well to both small children and adults alike. While Twycross Zoo may not be the largest zoo I've visited, the attention to detail in each exhibit was evident. The zoo's layout was easy to navigate, and I appreciated the variety of animals on display. From primates to big cats, and even a few surprises in between, there was something to fascinate every visitor. I particularly enjoyed the primate enclosures, which offered a unique perspective on these intelligent creatures. My only criticism was the weather on the day of my visit, which was overcast and cool. While the zoo's infrastructure is well-maintained, a sunny day would have elevated my experience and allowed me to fully appreciate the outdoor areas. Despite the weather, I was pleasantly surprised by Twycross Zoo and would definitely recommend it to others. In fact, I plan to return on a sunnier day to experience the zoo in all its glory. If you're in the area, Twycross Zoo is a great option for a fun and educational day out with family or friends.

This is a great family day out. Would highly recommend it. We were parked up.at 9.30 but our tickets weren't valid until 10am but by the time we had sorted ourselves out and got a coffee it was time to go in. We didn't queue as we had prebooked and we were in. I'd recommend feeding the birds early and seeing the chimpanzees early as that gets really busy. There is so much else to do including a wet area for kids who will need a change a clothes. Have fun.

Had a great day, highlights were the gibbons and the butterfly farm. Gruffalo trail was pretty good. Only two things that let it down for us - toilets were not always clean and the ones near the water park had a huge wait. It was also very busy so we went to the back of the zoo first early on. Also good that we can come back for as many visits within the year for free!

Really liked this Zoo it has a lot of space and a good mix of animals (primarily primates), and fun things for the kids, the Gruffalo trail was interactive and the kids loved collecting the stamps, they had a really good splash pool and two playgrounds. The facilities were good across the park with lots of toilets and places to eat, nowhere to fill water bottles though (not that I found)

Oh my, it was crowded! We went there at 11 a.m., and it was the biggest mistake. Firstly, it was difficult to find a parking space. We had to walk about 5-7 minutes from our parking spot to the entrance. Secondly, there were so many people that you could barely get close to the screens to see the animals. Thirdly, our first round through the zoo was almost useless, as most enclosures were empty, the staff was cleaning the cages, and we could barely see any animals. However, after 1 p.m., the situation improved. There were fewer people, and the animals were out. We visited the Gruffalo Discovery Land, where the kids collected stamps, and at the end of the walk, they received certificates. Overall, we enjoyed visiting Twycross Zoo. My recommendations are to control the number of visitors and clean the cages before opening time.

Lovely place to go. We took 2 of our grand children there for a Birthday treat, they were 4 and had a really nice time. We saw all the animals except the Tiger. There was as indoor Butterfly area where they fly all around you. There was a Gruffalo trail on, which they really loved, buttons to press for them to interact. There was also a Lego event on, where lots of animals had been made out of Lego, life size too. Took a picnic. There was a water park area, so children could play when the weather is nice.
