I would not reccomend going for night at the zoo, I am very spoiled with the zoo by me so to be fair, my expectations were very high. There were too many tickets sold, you couldn't walk anywhere without bumping into someone, there wasn't really live music, it was just one guy sometimes playing songs. Every line for food/drinks was very long, and the drinks were very highly priced. I just think for this being paid entry, and the lack of animals and space for not only humans, but animals (truly they do not have enough room in those exhibits) it was a disappointment. It had lovely exhibits (aside from the size) but a lack of viewing areas, there were too many trees in the way to see any animals. I do like the vendors, and the interactive areas of the zoo, and how they paid homage to the countries the animals came from.

Definitely an experience you want to try out at least once. I would recommend anyone coming to get here at least by 12 pm so you have enough time to see everything and make your experience worth it. Of course the main attraction are the animals but they can sometimes be sleeping or hidden away. While this can be a bit disappointing it does demonstrate that the animals have decent size enclosures and are free to roam about as they want. If you have enough time however you might be able to circle back and catch the animals you missed. The reptile and insect section were particular highlights and if you're not creeped out by them, they are highly worth the visit. Also it has great learning potential. There are so many facts about the animals laid out in a digestible manner. What I also found great was showing how the animals are endangered and what is causing it which helps put things into context why you should care about these animals. Lastly the staff are also lovely. They are clearly passionate about the animals and will tell you so many more cool facts. In summary, while the ticket is a bit steep, with the right company and enough time to explore everything, it is very much worth it.

We had an amazing experience at the zoo! I was especially happy to see that the animals have plenty of space and that everything is very well maintained and thoughtfully designed. There are pavilions with insects, reptiles, a tropical rainforest, and also Monkey Valley, where you can walk among monkeys at arm’s length. We spent 5 hours there and enjoyed every minute of it!

We had a truly wonderful family day out at ZSL London Zoo and it easily turned into a full-day experience packed with fun, learning, and memorable moments. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was lively and welcoming. The zoo is beautifully maintained, with clearly marked paths and a wide variety of exhibits that kept both adults and children engaged throughout the day. Our children especially loved the interactive areas and were fascinated by the animals they could see up close. The penguins were a big highlight—watching them swim and play was absolutely delightful. There is a great balance between entertainment and education. Informational boards are easy to understand and provide interesting facts, which made the visit not only enjoyable but also informative for the kids. The staff were friendly and approachable, always happy to answer questions and guide visitors. Although we noticed that some animals, like bears, were not present, this didn’t take away from the overall experience. There were still plenty of incredible species to see, from majestic lions to curious monkeys and elegant giraffes. Each enclosure seemed thoughtfully designed with animal welfare in mind. Facilities such as cafés, rest areas, and playgrounds made it easy to relax and recharge during the day. It’s very family-friendly and well-organised, which is important when visiting with children. Overall, it’s a fantastic destination for a family outing in London. We spent the entire day there without getting bored, and the children left with huge smiles on their faces. Highly recommended for a fun and meaningful day out

For me, it was an amazing experience, especially getting to know interesting facts about the animals. London Zoo offers a wide variety of species, including big cats, penguins, reptiles, birds, and many rare animals that are not easy to see up close. Each area is well organized, informative, and designed to help visitors understand the animals’ natural behaviors and habitats. Interacting with the animals and watching them in such thoughtfully maintained enclosures was really cool and educational. What made the experience even better was the zoo staff. They were incredibly passionate, friendly, and knowledgeable, always willing to share insights, answer questions, and explain conservation efforts in a way that was easy to understand. This is just my personal point of view, but I truly enjoyed my visit to London Zoo. It was both fun and informative, and I would love to go back again if I had the chance.
