We spent an afternoon lazily wandering around this zoo, they have a nice variety of animals and you can get quite close. The enclosures are well built and all the animals looked well taken care of. The staff were friendly and helpful and we got to feed the penguins! There was a few informative "talks" during the day which I... More

We have taken the grandchildren and family here several times ever since they were in their prams so we are familiar with the layout which adds to the fun each time we go. A great place for all the family, nice food and picnic spots and great animals all at a sensible family can afford price. More

My boyfriend and I visited the zoo recently and spent a couple of hours here. The zoo is quite small and doesn't have many large animals, but they have a wide variety of smaller species, some of which we'd never seen before. Parking isn't free and value for money seems a little high, especially in the cafe. The staff were... More

Newquay zoo is a very good zoo, but it is a little small to spend the day there!! We only spent about 2 hours there and that was plenty of time! There are plenty of animals to view and you can pay a few quid and feed the penquins and meercats which was nice for the kids. The animals are... More

I have to say first off that I am not a love of zoos. Therefore, I could not give this zoo any more than average rating. The enclosures seemed too small and the animals not terribly happy. Sorry, just my opinion. More
