Welsh Mountain Zoo

Lovely zoo to visit. The main highlight was seeing the obvious love the keepers have for the animals. Every animal clearly cared for and not just for show.The sealion display was probably the best bit, with the lady explaining how every exercise and stunt was to help check their health and allow the keepers to safely look after them.The only downside was the map and signage, which was a bit of a challenge if you want to see everything. Some sort of 3d model on the phone might be easiest as paths which look like they are close are often metres above each other.Once we found our way we got to see everything I think. It took about 6 hours but was well worth it. Lunch was a little over priced but very tasty.

This is a brilliant zoo, with plenty of animals and wildlife to see. A very picturesque place and stunning views on a sunny day. Booking in advance made entry quick and easy. A map is provided to find your way around. The only improvement I could see was perhaps putting the numbers from the map on the signs around the park to make navigation easier. Well worth a visit

Lovely zoo! Been here many times over the last 30 years and will keep coming back. Sure it's not as big as some but it more than makes up for it in character. Set over many levels and terrains so be prepared for some walking and some of it is pretty hidden but it's all worth it. Just be aware you are high up and exposed so it gets very windy. Animals are all happy and well looked after, staff are nice and friendly. One final word penguin parade" ok it's two words but it's very important. Absolutely worth a visit if you are in the area."

Excellent zoo in stunning surroundings great access to everything. Cafes in sit a little expensive but nice and clean good service. Animals were well cared for. Not too big you can fit it all in in one day but it attracts lots of people revisiting again. Overall a fantastic place with lots of variety

A great charity zoo, a nice selection of animals although when we went the majority of the animals were sleeping. Beautiful views of the coastline. Staff were very friendly and helpful. It would be a great place to take kids as there were plenty of playgrounds scattered around.

We enjoyed a lovely day at the Welsh Mountain Zoo, with incredible views over Colwyn Bay, which were a lovely surprise.A good selection of animals to see, although we couldn't see some of them as they were a bit shy, hiding in their enclosures, but this may have been because it was quite a hot day and they were staying out of the sun. It was also a showery day and we found many places to shelter from rain.There are lots of lovely spaces to eat a picnic and spectacular displays of dahlias all over the site when we visited in August.There is also a lovely play park for the kids, with a handy ice cream kiosk nearby.

3.5/5 - we visited on a Monday in the summer holidays and it was busy. Amazing views and some special enclosures that I haven’t seen elsewhere before, the sea lions and monkeys were particularly good and you can get really close. Not a lot there though, we spent 5 hours doing several circuits and having a picnic. Our children are slightly older (14/10/9) so it may wear younger ones out quicker. Shame there is little visibility of the animals when they are inside / asleep. Lots of no shows despite popping back several times during the day. Drinks expensive £8+ for 2 x coffees but much of a muchness these days. Gates open at 9.30 on the dot not a second before so don’t arrive early. Play area was excellent for all ages and made great use of the space. As a family we really enjoy visiting zoos and couldn’t really give it anymore than 3.5 in comparison to others we have visited.

Such a wonderful zoo, views are stunning, staff very friendly and knowledgeable, animals plentiful, a perfect way to spend a day just taking everything in and enjoying what's on offer. Tickets are very fairly priced this has to be a must do activity if you love animals 100% recommend visiting

We pre booked this excursion as with everything now I'd recommend booking in advance.Upon entering the zoo you wouldn't have thought there was much to offer but definitely wrong.As soon as we had parked up we encountered two camels,mother and son let's just say for adult purposes it was entertaining.This side of the park was where the gardens were with all the beautiful daliha's on display in their full glory.Unfortunately we didn't get a glimpse of the bears but apparently they are here.There only seems to be one or two of each animal but I guess that's enough.To get to the other side of the zoo you have to cross over the road.There's a cafe/restaurant, ice cream shop and gift shop at this stage.Followed by a lovely little play park for under 5s then a few big slides and two zip wires. Even the adults in our party thoroughly enjoyed these.They have 2 beautiful tigers.The views from the top part of the zoo were absolutely stunning! If nothing else these were well worth the visit.This end was where the penguins are who take a walk daily if they chose to to visit the public, this is all cornered off at certain times of the day.Also the monkeys they had a few youngster who were very entertaining.We spent most of the day he and didn't find it difficult, we didn't see all of the animals as they weren't out or just didn't get to see them.Really lovely day out
