Newquay Zoo was a good option this morning, weather was cloudy with a little wind so we wanted to do something the kids would like and get them outside. 2-3 hours is sufficient, easy to walk around. Animal stock and enclosures are not as good as others (Bristol, Paignton) but interesting all the same. Under 3's go free.

Noted as the largest zoo in Cornwall it must surely be the best.My wife and I spent over 2 hours wandering around and were taken by the set up of the zoo,the animals are kept in extremely nice conditions and you can be certain that they are happy,especially the the Penguins and Monkeys,both of which never seem to stop.

Lots to see, animals seem well looked after, we always head straight here once landing in cornwall after a 7 hour drive through the night from Yorkshire and this was our second visit. Serves a purpose to pass the time before heading to accommodation

As a local to Cornwall I used to visit the zoo as a child and having moved back to the area recently after a few years away my husband and I decided to take a look at the zoo now. A good tip is to try and find some residential parking so that you do not have to pay the... More

Got my 8 year old son a junior zoo keeper day for his birthday as he had just adopted an antelope at the zoo. Despite us arriving late due to traffic and travel sickness the staff couldn't have been more helpful or accommodating! My son thoroughly enjoyed his day, feeding animals and going behind the scenes as well. He learnt... More

Living in Cornwall, I've had the chance to visit the zoo many times and have attended 3 or 4 lectures from the staff there. Everyone working there is very enthusiastic, more than happy to answer any questions you may have and really do care about the animals. The zoo is pretty small, but that's exactly what you'd expect with it... More

As far as zoo's go it is small. You have to pay to park and its not cheap. I paid over £4 to park yesterday. There was some confusion about the price of admission but it worked out to £12 for an adult. It takes no time at all to walk around the entire zoo, which is handy because hardly... More

The day I visited was cold but we had some sunny spells which helped. The fossa keepers had got both male and female together in the hope that they would breed again. it was fanttastic to watch the in together ....no breeding though. These are rare animals in other zoos and fascinating animals. Keepers are happy to talk to visitors... More
