Traveler reviews
A must see experience
There was a lot of walking involved. I enjoyed the entire experience. I would highly recommend to visit.
Easy
What an easy way to see the various islands and zoo. The staff were helpful in planning the excursions
Amazing
I have visited only Uk zoos in the past I can honestly say how the animals Was looked after was ( amazing ) Plenty of animals to see And the koalas just blow me away I fell in love 🥰 Terrsngo zoo is the best
Best Zoo ever
This is the best zoo I’ve ever been to. The enclosures don’t look or feel like cages, and animals are active. Staff at the zoo are very friendly and knowledgeable. The shows are entertaining and informative.
Highly recommended!
I was on site as a solo traveler and had a really great day. I got some bad reviews at first but I was absolutely thrilled. The enclosures were partially walkable and you put a lot of value on the well-kept picture here. I also found the paths where forests or mountains are simulated absolutely great, I don't know anything like that from Germany.
