    Well at first i was impressed with the large Gorilla enclosure , but in a very short time i noticed that many of the animals weren't able to be seen due to overgrown of the surrounding vegetation . nearly all of the inclosure's were very old and in need of a update..plus many of the smaller Cat pens were in dark areas of the zoo , almost as if these animals had been forgotten about,these were small and looked un interesting for the animals , this was shown by the animals showing signs of stress and boredom .. it was not at all like their natural habitat..I also found the whole zoo area very smelly with not enough water within the areas for the animals to bathe and relax in..
    Over all i was very disappointed, with the condition of pens and enclosures within the place..therefore i wont be visiting Howletts Zoo Park again.

    We just got back from Howletts Zoo Park and I must say that we were very disappointed as we've hardly seen anything at all!
    Our 22 month old toddler adores animals so we took him there as a treat, he wasn't impressed and got bored very quickly. Nothing much to see or do, a few monkeys and far away elephants did not justify the money we've paid. We've spend around £50 for a few hours (entry + over priced lunch at the cafe) and would have been better off sending the money to the RSPCA!

    I've been visiting Howletts Zoo Park for many years. I understand what they're trying to do and why, but sadley things are starting to go bad here. I visited today and I think the management may have gone insane.

    We took our 3 year old granddaughter to Howletts Zoo Park, and she loved it all the time she was there. It is very good value for the price you pay!

    The toilets were very clean, and the zoo was quite busy.

    I will go again.

    Animals privacy well respected at Howletts Zoo Park so sometimes may not see everything, however we found patience was rewarded! My son loved it as he got to see his favourite animals and recognised the keepers from 'roar'.

    There is only a small selection of animals at Howletts Zoo Park, and many of them are similar (lots of Gibbons). Many of them were not in view. The zoo claims that it is animal friendly and that the animals are happy. They seemed particularly bored when I saw them. The zoo projects itself as not having attractions/activities like other zoos. The aim is to just observe the animals in their cages/paddocks. Plus some talks. I was disappointed to find that the recreated Anglo Saxon Village was n ...
