A friend had said she was disappointed how few animals there were and we agree. The grounds are beautiful and the animals seem well cared for. There were none of the following: elephants, lions, bears, ostriches, kangaroos, wolves. The food prices were very good. Parking is free but the spaces are not marked so people carelessly park anywhere they want. This results in lots of wasted space.

Fantastic family day out. I took my 11 year old and 2 year old. We booked online,under 3s are free. Easy to get around and there is a lovely little train. We went and it started to rain so the train ride came in handy it cost 2 pound per person no charge for my 2 year old.Plenty of toilets and places to eat. Gorgeous animals to see we were lucky enough to watch the red panda playing in the tree and say some gorgeous birds in the open aviary and there is some lovely garden areas and the manor is absolutely gorgeous.

Always great fun for everyone.Will disagree with previous reviews that there was no animals. We managed to see most of them.We actually had a nice meal in the zoo canteen. To compare to another this to type of places ( mainly theme parks) food was very tasty and reasonably priced. Also, the ice cream by the playground was awesome.Clean toilets all around the park. Free parking.

Incredible, sunny day at the zoo. Started the journey and got on the M3. Clear signage to go to the place. Lots of parking spaces. Prices as shown in pictures, paid on the day (so not sure if its more affordable online). Great open spaces for the animals. Fairly clean throughout. Many kiosks, a restaurant and cafes. We enjoyed the day so much and took amazing photos. A place that I highly recommend for an entire day to have time to see as much.

Really great experience we have been many times although lately there seem to be fewer animals and more empty enclosures. Many enclosures are a bit overgrown and staff are few and far between but they are still really friendly and knowledgeable. Maybe a bit overpriced but still good fun

Fantastic day out for families. I had not been in 30 years and I have to say that some of the place looked a bit tired and some of the old enclosures have been left to rot but what they do have is a fantastic range of very healthy looking animals. The range of animals from Tigers to monkeys, birds and a big hit if a red panda, is just right and the ability to see the animals as you walk around is just right. It's a good few hours of walking with a land train that lets you see the whole thing of you want. There are lots of picnic spots, and play parks dotted around. Kids that normally moan after a few hours were well entertained.

Marwell Zoo is a brilliant day out, I’ve been visiting for years and it’s amazing the conservation work that they do for all animals but especially endangered animals. There’s a lot of great animals to see my highlights are the red panda ‘Tashi’, the snow leopards, the Amur tigers and the clouded leopards, (if you can spot them)!Throughout the zoo, the enclosures are spacious and well thought out for the habitat they need. We always love visiting, the membership is really good value too. The zoo is easy to get to and accessible for everyone. Still yet to see the sloth properly but we keep trying!

4 wonderful hours spent here today, for what I believe was a very reasonable amount of money. All the animals looks happy & content in there large enclosures, never saw any pacing back & forth. Zoo was clean & tidy without litter lying around, toilet's plentiful & clean. Nice areas for children to play in. Will return. Highly recommend.

Fab day out! Facilities were all clean as was the zoo itself. Plenty of toilet facilities throughout and places to stop for food and drink.Several play parks for when the kids are getting a bit bored of seeing the animals or the grown ups need a rest!

Haven't been there for a while but we went back and spent a excellent day there.They've been working on changing some of the exhibits and are really working hard on the animals welfare and well-being.It's a good walk around, slowly as some of the park is on slight inclines.Lots of animals, good places to get drinks and snacks.Definitely need a new café/restaurant though as it only has the one which is small.Still worth the visit and annual pass is around 2.25 cost of day ticket, so good value.
