    Good Points: We left.


    Bad Points: Expensive food, cheek at asking to pay £1.50 per children's rides (train etc) once you have already paid to go in. not very well laid out, no signposts, empty badly laid out enclosures.


    General comments: Visited Twycross Zoo on the 27 June 2009.Paid £11 an adult x2 to get in (with gift aid donation of £1). and £7 for a child. Overall, expensive, not many animals other than monkeys, a lot of enclosures are either empty or badly designed so you cannot get near to them (reindeer case in point). Food prices are extortionate, more than motorway service stations (and that's saying something). The animal petting area was virtually void of animals.TBH you are better off going to Ash End Farm for a much better experience for your kids and a cheaper one at that.

    I'm writing as a photographer first and foremost, so much of what I write must be related to that fact.Parking was a pleasure and there was plenty of space, with attendants guiding us to the available spots.

    Well I can safely say Twycross Zoo is one of my favourite zoos now. Its not huge but its a good size which is good because all the big attractions are in a reasonable distance. There were lots of monkeys some of which I had never heard of in good ecnlosures with lots of play things. Loved the elephants who were in a simply excellent enclosure as well as the selaions-some of the features in their enclosure were fantastic! I also liked the leopards-beautiful and in a cracking enclosure. The tropi ...

    Well worth a visit for the Primates alone. Improving all the time and easy to visit if you are disabled. As with most Wildlife Parks the Staff are very enthusiastic and helpful. Reasonably good for photography. Very good variety of animals of many species, new Bird and Borneo walkways add a much-needed change to the old Zoo format. New Elephant enclosure is superb, two houses now for mature and young Gorillas; Amur Leopard enclosure superb. Twycross suffers from the 'fund raising restaurant' syn ...
