We arrived at the zoo and after paying full price for our tickets we found that alot of the animals had been moved etc due to the cold weather. Even though this cannot be helped we should not have had to pay full price tickets. The shows were also cancelled which we were not informed about before purchasing our tickets.... More

The Zoo is within easy reach of Paignton, Torquay and the surrounding area. There is plenty of space to park and it is a good day out for all ages. More

Love the fact you can walk around (unlike safari parks whereby you are in the car) and see all the animals to the point you can almost touch them. My 2 toddlers loved it; my youngest who is just 15 months spent most of the day chasing after the peacocks which was very funny! A great family day out with... More
