My expectations were not great after reading other reviews on this zoo and judging by the admission price being so much more reasonable than other zoos, however I had a thoroughly enjoyable few hours.
The animal enclosures were very clean and the animals all looked happy and well cared for. You could get a lot closer to these animals than other zoos I've been to and although there are not a huge variety of animals there there was enough to see to keep my 7 year old more than happy.
A downside was not all the areas were accessible by pathways and so it was rather muddy under foot in places. Also, some of the enclosures and surrounding areas look a little tired but I think for the revenue the zoo must bring in and considering the cost of caring for the animals, then this was not surprising. I'd rather have happy animals than a state of the art cafe.
If you don't expect the size of London Zoo or the variety of animals at Wobourn Abbey then you should have an enjoyable 2 1/2 - 3 hours here.
