Lovely zoo! Loads of animals and the elephant enclosure was great. Plenty for the kids to see and do. All enclosures are large for the animals and they have loads of room to roam around. Nice and clean with friendly staff. Also great that they have Starbucks and Subway inside to get food and drinks. Will definitely be visiting again in the future!

It's a really good zoo! This place actually has a lot more there than you think, we loved the elephants and monkeys. The zoo isn't massive so it's easy to get around, but my kids did mention they felt like the enclosure was small for some animals. We would absolutely go again.

I have visited this zoo once with my family. It’s a decent zoo with ample amount of animals. What makes the Zoo stand out is the Dinosaur walk. If you or your kids like dinosaurs, you will definitely like it. Compared to it’s closest counterpart like Chester zoo, it’s nothing close in terms of varieties of wildlife they have. However it’s still a fun place for a family day out.

Blackpool has a great selection of animals & dinosaurs to view, and a number of newer additions (babies). And even the camels wanted in on the act by mating in front of an audience 😂. This zoo is definitely worth a visit, and one we will be back to again soon.

Although smaller than other attractions, they have made good use of the space. Visited several times, and would again. Great zoo.

Blackpool Zoo has it all. From their fantastic selection of lively and friendly monkeys to their fantastic barn, birds that land on your head to be fed, brilliant sea lion exhibitions and way much more. It’s a massive park full of things to see round every corner. The only issues is some of their more larger enclosures are lacking animals and lively activities, plus, they should reintroduce their train line a lot more often. Other than that, great park and great staff!

We had an amazing day, all the animals are well looked after and happy within their own habits, custom made to look and feel like the real thing. The staff were all super friendly and happy to discuss animals with the visitors. Not my first time visiting, but it was definitely my favourite, absolutely nothing to complain about.

First time visiting Blackpool zoo today and it was great day out! All the staff/keepers were super friendly and was great to see them interacting with the birds/feeding the gorillas! Toilets/facilities were spotless - really kept on top of which was a bonus. It was all wheelchair friendly, couple of steep slopes but nothing too bad and all animals were accessible to wheelchair users through different windows/viewing platforms. Animals were all beautiful and looked very well cared for- would highly recommend a visit if you are in the area :)

Well what a amazing zoo to visit, lots of animals to see. The zoo staff are extremely friendly and helpful. As well as the grounds are well looked after and are clean. Restaurants are well stocked and fairly priced. Plenty of picnic areas if you wish to bring you own food. But beware of the seagulls. Threw out the zoo it came across to me as wheelchair friendly as well as pram friendly. Plenty of toilets around that are cleaned to a high standard. I would highly recommended a day out at blackpool zoo as you won't be disappointed.

Lots of parking available although today was a quieter day I know it can be busy! A few things closed (not many) due to covid! Easy to walk around and see everything they have! No too much of a walk between the animals! The animals do look alert and healthy! On-site has food and facilities there’s a small park for children next to the picnic area! The ramps to some of the animals can be slippy especially on wetter days! The dinosaur exhibition area is great looks amazing and great for the kids as each Dino and animal has a bit of info to read! Prices are not too bad depending on how much you want to spend!

It was a nice day out. I'm not sure if because of the weather, but most animals were nowhere to be found or hidden in their cages. The sea lion show was great to watch as well as the big cats activity. Lucas was great, explaining to us about the lions and tigers. If you love birds, I would recommend going into the aviary of the lorikeet birds where you can feed them. It was a fun experience. The nectar will cost you only £1. The dinosaur area is a great zone for the little ones. Something to consider when visiting the zoo is that the parking costs you £3 for the whole day in addition to your admition fee.

We haven't been to Blackpool for 10 years and we decided to go back to the Zoo. Great zoo especially with the Elephant enclosure and the seal pool . Some of the animal enclosures do need a make over but ALL the animals look happy and very well looked after. Great social distancing with three very helpful covid wardens. We used our Tesco vouchers to pay for the entrance with an £3.00 cost for the carpark. The Zoo are doing a great job in this difficult time for them. Well worth a visit.

Great day out for all ages! Plenty to see and explore. We’re so lucky to have this on our door step and feel we should go more often to support our local zoo! They offer discount to residents living in the FY1 - FY5 area when booked online - be sure to take ID and proof of address on arrival. You can park on site for £3.00 - can be paid via card/contactless (if you forget to take cash, like we did). We went on a week day and was surprised to see how busy it was. Some people adhered to the social distancing rules, whilst others just didn’t seem to care. We avoided the crowded areas and came back a later time. You can tell all the animals are well looked after and cared for. You can see the staff working hard to clean/feed the animals throughout the day. What an amazing and satisfying job that must be! The most relaxing spot of the zoo is walking round the Sea lion and Penguin enclosure. It’s therapeutic just looking at the waters and watching them swim. Unfortunately, we didn’t get to see the lions/tigers but I was told if you head there towards the end of the day you can see them during feeding time.

Such a good little zoo with lots of animals to see. Friendly and helpful staff but can get very busy. All the animals seemed happy and healthy and we had a fantastic day out. Some enclosures need to be more up to date but I will definitely be coming back.

Was pouring down when we arrived, but made the decision to stay, glad we did as it warmed up. Love Blackpool zoo, clean and tidy. Easy to follow map, clear signage. Staff prepared to answer any questions you may have. This place is amazing

Absolutely loved this place. We spent they day here in November 2021. The weather was great for the time of year. Myself and my partner took our 16 month old son for a day out Upon arrival there was plenty of parking available, and the £3 all day fee was reasonable. We had booked our tickets online in advance so the reception was quick and we were in within a minute or two. The animals they have at Blackpool Zoo are impressive, but what we liked most was the lay out. It gave a very up close and person feel with the animals, as well as making sure things weren't over crowded. We had planned to stay there for around 4 hours, but ended up staying over 6 hours. The grounds were tidy and clean, and I was really impressed with the prices of food and drink in the cafe. The prices were very reasonable and comparable to that at McDonald's. The last Zoo I had previously been to wanted £4 for just a sausage roll. Here you could get a meal for around £6, and they had further discounts for family meals etc. Overall the Zoo was worth the £20pp entry fee and we had a great time.

Great family day out. Plenty of animals to see, some of them were inside their houses, and I don't blame them as it was a chilly day. Word of warning if you havent been before, you have to pay for parking - its pay and display - £3. Machines are cash only, but you can pay by card at the entrance to the zoo, then have to walk all the way back to your car to put the ticket in it

I was warned not to expect much from this zoo but I absolutely loved it and I thoroughly enjoyed myself. So many different animals and all kept in excellent and well maintained enclosures. One if my favourite zoos.

My 4 star rating is based only on the fact the new big cat enclosure is still under development, the overall experience on the day was 5⭐️, whilst this may seem unfair it did take away some of the experience for me personally as I am a big cat fan and wasn't aware until arriving that no cats were at the zoo at all, But that aside the Zoo itself was fantastic, animals were amazing to see, I really amazing sight and some beautiful ones too! All very well maintained and the keepers were all very helpful, the various events around the zoo are highly recommended, the food stalls were quick serving (BEWARE OF SEAGULLS!) a very fun day was had by us and the grandkids, will definitely go back when the big cats arrive and will most definitely upgrade my rating!

We love coming to Blackpool zoo with our 5 year old twin boys. It is only half an hour away from us so it's a great afternoon out. The play area is also great too. The zoo is not too big so little ones will not get as tired as they would at the bigger zoos. Definitely recommend getting an annual pass too if you go even 3 times in the year it will cover the cost. There are plenty of picnic areas here and a cafe if you prefer. Staff are friendly which is always a nice bonus.

I drove across the country to Blackpool zoo with an autistic girl on a day trip. I will be totally honest. I do not agree with animals in captivity, but as part of my job I had no choice. There is a big car park (£3) within easy walking distance of the main building. Prices on admission are quite fair and it was brilliant that they offer carers free admission with ID. Massive brownie point right there. The zoo as well spread out, and I got a plan of the zoo and a list of shows happening throughout the day. Sadly, it was wet and rainy day in the park which meant a lot of the animals were understandably taking cover and could not be seen. They were a couple of guys discussing the animals on a microphone, telling us about the animals daily activities and how the zoo provide enrichment in their lives. However, as the guy talked about the lions I did think they looked rather sad in the enclosure, just lying about without enough room to really run at any speed. A lot of the monkeys, especially the orangutans were lying at the bottom of their habitat bored out of their skulls and I found that quite stressful. In my opinion, animals that normally have a jungle to swing through, shouldn’t be in enclosures. But that’s just my opinion. They seemed to be well looked after though a few of the enclosures were more prison like! Plenty of toilets in the park and a few places to eat and drink too. As expected, the gift shop was very expensive and I did not like the hard sell from the guys at the green screen Photo Booth. Overall if you enjoy zoos and animals living in captivity and not in a natural environment, you will probably enjoy this day out.

Amazing day, bought tickets online a week before and saved alot of money. The amount of animals to see is great and during the day there is multiple ranger talks and feed watching opportunities, lots of places to get snacks and eat along with an outdoor play park for kids. Plenty to do can easily spend the entire day here would recommend.

Much prefer this zoo to chester, smaller to walk around especially with kids. My kids love the dinosaur trail and playground. The sea lion demonstration really amazed them 🙂 With my youngest being autistic, it is a less crowded and more friendly environment. She can enjoy it and partly walk round without fear of getting lost or overwhelmed.

I do love the zoo and have been a few times. On warm sunny days you will have a ball. But the weather really impacts on it, and the zoo is a lot of money for me not to mention this. There are LOADS of picnic benches, etc, but none under shelter (or 1 we found that was occupied), so we had the stand having lunch at the back of the lion enclosure out of the rain (dietary needs or we would have used cafe) that was my only "complaint" Animals are more indoors when it's raining, too. The elephants were the stars of the whole show (in my opinion). Clean toilets, decent gift shop. Cafe and food shops but be warned....they are pricey! Starbucks served in the cafe too. There are a lot of open flat grounds for accessibility needs and built walkways, theres also a few play parks for kids to blow off steam and give "responsible adults" a well-deserved break.

Hands down the best zoo we've ever been to! The Big Cat Habitat was my favourite, as unlike other zoos, they had plastic viewing windows where you could see them closely and it allowed for some amazing photo opportunities. Hands down the best experience, my husband said I did not stop smiling all the way around. I think the photos say it all themselves!

Nice family day out, children seemed to enjoy it, there was a decent range of animals to see and they seemed in good health and spirit. There is a large aviary heavily plant and different species of birds which was a relaxing area. There is a cafe which serves a decent meal and a gift shop when leaving. As a resident the prices are good when paid for at the beginning of the year for the entire year, however for large families with no season pass it can be an expensive day out.

Blackpool Zoo is absolutely fantastic! It took us just over 3 hours to look completely around. They is so so many animals too see! They also have cafes scattered throughout the park, and places to get a drinks. They is also seating areas. As well as a play park for the children, the park is big with a variety of things to play on which will keep the children entertained for ages!. You are also allowed to smoke within the park they is loads of ashtrays scattered throughout. The staff are very friendly and very helpful if you need help with anything or directions. You are also able to take a picnic bag with you and sit and eat it within the park it you would like to do so. I would certainly reccomend this place. The tickets are no expensive at all and if your disabled and have a carer you both get a discounted ticket fee. The car park is also £3 even if you have a blue badge so make sure you take change for the car park.

Fantastic as always. Lots of measures to support social distancing including regular hand sanitising stations around the zoo. All staff helpful, friendly and welcoming. Animals were all on top form and well looked after. Love this zoo....it's the perfect size for kids...got all of the favourites and not too big that you spend most of the day walking!

I went there and it was great!

Really great day out. A bit dearer than other zoos I’ve been too and there is a £3 car parking fee which I find odd. A good array of animals and most places have good viewing points. Couldn’t really see the big cats as they were at the other side of the viewing in the shade. Also couldn’t see the red panda. The staff were really good under the current circumstances but the one way systems and hand sanitiser worked well.

The animals were lovely well looked after accept for one of the chimpanzees who looked sad 😔 the seals were amazing to watch, very cute. The workers were very helpful and kind. The elephants a very large enclosure as big as a primary school which is good since they have a lot of space a lot of animals had a lot of space as well.

What you need to know; We booked online which gives a small saving in advance in light of current events. You get an email confirmation and e-ticket. I drove and it is well sign posted. There is sufficient parking which I imagine would be full on a weekend or sunny days as I've read. Take £3 in coins for the pay and display car park (for the whole day) - very good value and it benefits the animals or if you haven't got change then there is guest services where you can pay. There are numerous staff members and sanitising points right throughout the zoo, which was good to see. It's a spacious zoo with good access walkways throughout for all abilities. As with any place they are adapting like us all to the guidelines so everyone must take responsibilty for themselves to keep safe distance but in the main no issues. No shows on at present and it's luck of the draw on which animals you'll see because of weather and how busy it is! Fortunately we took our time inbetween the occasional shower and managed to see most. Certain areas are cordoned off to reduce the likelihood of visitors being too close in enclosed spaces. It's a shame the some of indoor bird zones walk-through areas, animal demonstrations, and mini train aren't currently able to proceed but ultimately this is with guests safety in mind. Despite this there are still some great attractions. They've introduced podcast commentaries, and the base camp for the new elephant zone is coming on. The giraffes, orangutans, mountain gorillas, big cats and more will still keep you busy.

As always a fantastic day out. The keepers are amazing. One keeper was so receptive to our autistic boys and included them in how he was feeding the monkeys by talking to the boys and getting the monkeys close for them. The cafe was very slow so a packed lunch is recommended especially with little ones. Definitely a place to visit and will come back again.

Lovely clean zoo. Animals well looked after. Well worth a visit.

Fantastic place. Wish the weather had of been better. Will definitely be back.

Charming Zoo, well laid out & easy to get around. All the animals look well cared for with sufficient space. A welcome break from the Blackpool hustle & bustle.

the right size for young children. The dinosaur area was great fun full of surprises 🤣🤣

We had an incredible time at the zoo today! So much to see and do! Plenty of cafe stops in between to rest your legs too.Would highly recommend! Also half price entry to the soft play next door if you show them your receipt of zoo entry (within a week of reciept).

Blackpool Zoo was a delight to visit. The animals appeared to be in good health and the park was clean and well maintained. Staff were friendly and there were ample opportunities to buy refreshments. The advanced ticket purchase saved a few pounds and the car parking was very reasonably priced. All in all, a thoroughly good day out.

We had a lovely day, the weather was perfect, it was very busy, families enjoying half term holidays. But there was plenty of room, the park itself is spacious and well laid out. Lots of nice places to sit. The collection of animals is great, the new Big Cat Habitat is a great enclosure. We also enjoyed the elephants, giraffes and many more, although we didn't have time to see them all. Highly recommended.

Not quite Chester Zoo level but we went to Blackpool Zoo and had a great time. The zoo is home to animals from all over the world, with their enclosures being spacious and well-maintained. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, and they're always happy to answer any questions you have. Overall, I had a great time at Blackpool Zoo. It's a great place to visit for a family day out or just if you like animals. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a fun, educational, and affordable day out.

Wide range of beautiful animals, great live demonstrations & feedings and a lovely selection of nice tasting food including a Subway (expect a long wait at the café during lunch time). Overall great place for anyone from families with young kids to groups of friends. Also completely accessible to wheelchair users.

Had a fantastic day out. Mainly went to see the new baby orangutan but lots of other great things to see and do. Only down fall is the very over confident seagulls 😡. Amazing day out!! Here are some images I captured.

One of the best zoos we've been to with children. A very well laid out zoo with various animals. We totally loved the conservation area where we walked through a huge bird cage which was very unique and lovely trees and foliage. Creating an absolute serene feeling. All the animals looked well and the zoo keepers are working hard to keep them in shape. The whole zoo areas where the animal habitations were, had been tailor made and looked so close to the real deal was well achieved by the people who developed them. They also had the children play areas where you could take a break etc. A nice farm play area too and peacocks, peahens strolling around the zoo was another grand experience for the kids. One let down were the speakers during the live shows as they were too loud and crackling and fuzzy. Didn't help our child with autism. There are also a large number of seagulls present so don't take any breaded sandwiches with you otherwise they'll be at you like vultures! All in all a great time and we shall return for another visit. Allah willing.

Marvellous zoo with a wide variety of animals to see, in a reasonably compact site that enabled me to see almost everything in one afternoon. Particularly fond of the Tigers, Elephants, Giant Anteater, and Sea Lions. Was disappointed not to see the Gorillas, though. Lovely afternoon in the September sunshine amidst beautiful animals. Not too busy, especially later in the day.

Lovely zoo and lots of different animals. The zoo is very well set out and a brilliant zoo to take the children! We even saw elephants 😍 Fantastic dinosaur area to walk around at the beginning too!!

I have been living quite close for many years. Never thought that the Zoo is so good. Enough fun for kids and adults alike. Good day out especially when the weather is friendly too. We just got a full year membership at the end. Lovely place.

Wonderful day out despite the Covid restrictions and the odd bit of rain . My grandson loved it - his favourite being the sea lions and penguins ..... my still the tigers .

A lovely day out had by all. One of the Otters was a little showman. Monkeys showing off. Dinosaur park was brilliant. Can't wait to go back. 5*****

Visited when it re opening after being closed due to covid, we really enjoyed the visit, the shows weren't on as the staff were around the park making sure visitors kept to social distancing rules. We really enjoyed the elephants, giraffes and monkeys! We finished our visit with the Dino walk.We would recommend a visit here!

Lovely zoo, spaced out nicely, lots to see. nice cafe not expensive. 3.00 parking but this contributes towards the animals.so no complaints there. gift shop not bad but a little pricey but then again arent all gift shops in zoos.

Loved it. Had a brilliant morning. Elephants are my favourite so pleased to see them

Visited mid August, had a very enjoyable day here. Something for everyone. Gift shop not overly expensive, parking was £3.50 for the day. Hand sanitizing points throughout

Lovely place to take the kids although probably better if you don't go when its raining like we did. It was fun but not a lot of dry places in the rain.

Great place to visit.

Booked 2 days prior on the morning we went it was torrential rain we dudnt see any animals but we had actually booked lunch for my daughter si went to cafe . We were greeted by a stupidly long queue and was told it was a 90 min wait in torrential rain . I'm totally disgusted I know they cant help the weather but their attitude was awful especially wit a 5 year old who was sodden. I spent 45.00 for 45 minutes no animals seen and no food. Blackpool zoo the staffs attitude was repulsive if you want food you have to queue un the torrential rain . Will never come here again even if last place on earth

Fantastic as always loved the halloween display and event, my son loves going to see all the animals

Good day out for the family. Well sign posted for one way for social distancing. Felt safe with measures put in place

Love this place. They do a great job looking after the animals

A covid day out! The Zoo was set up really well to maintain social distance but to still be able to really enjoy. We had lunch here and the family meal deal was really worth the money and not too expensive. The animals are looking very good, it's a shame that non of the displays are on but it's just a sign of the times. All of the keepers are more than willing to stop and explain things. Well done Blackpool Zoo and thanks for keeping us safe.

BEWARE! Appalling, only a lip service concern for covid 19. We visited today. And had to park at the back of the overflow car park. It states that they are running a limited capacity due to covid, yet even the overflow car park was full? I asked to change the tickets to another day and they said its the terms and conditions to not change dates. Inside it is crowded and all the viewing areas are cramped and it is impossible to socially distance properly. The 1m rule is a joke here. All in all its waste of £50, avoid if you have any worry or concern of covid, especially with Blackpool rated one of highest areas in the UK.

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

A great day out for all the family, dispite the wet weather 😊

Nice place to visit, good for all ages pitty the shows were not on.

Despite the atrocious weather it was a great place for a visit. Book online before you go and take a picnic!

Brilliant zoo lots of animals excellent food

We all had an lovely family day out. Good covid measures in place.

Great place ...even when raining.....great fun

Ok but very over priced for families.

Great day out

Had a great time. Weather was a bit damp. Had a coffee while it rained. Afterwards got to see most of the animals. Been a few times best viewing of the red panda and the otters. The tapir just demanded to be photographed. Could hear the lion all over the park. Only issue was that the bus only goes into the park entrance on weekends. Had a 15minute walk from busstop to entrance. Got a taxi back from entrance to coral Island £7.

Great little zoo, Shane the big cats were closed but in this mad Covid-19 world, things are to be expected. Lovely and clean, friendly staff, would definitely visit again

Love coming here lovely staff and brilliant well looked after animals x

Best Zoo in the Northwest. Lots of open space, great viewing points to see the animals. Ques for cafe can be quite big however had a great day

Lovely day out

Very friendly people

Great place to visit with the family, all the animals can be see, there is only one cafe open due to the virus, but well worth a visit, don't forget your face covering

Great zoo, first time visiting and will be back!

Love this zoo. But sad that we could not see the animals being fed this time due to COVID restrictions. Still a great day out though.

What a joke this is a word wining zoo no way must be the worst zoo I have been to there is nothing worth seeing

Very good day out....children under 3 free so very good for little ones.. lots of outside space and plenty of animals to see...can make a long day or just a few hours so very good

Very well laid out, excellent distancing and sanitising procedures..... but most importantly brilliant selection and variety of well looked after animals. We had a BRILLIANT day out at the zoo and have already recommended it to several friends.....

Nice day out for all ages Pitt the shows are not on

We visited on Monday 19th October 2020 with my husband and 10 year old daughter. We have been before but not for the last 5 years. First impressions was that it was so so quiet. It felt like we had it to our selves. There are sanitizer units everywhere, it felt very safe and clean. Our favourite part was the elephant's, what an amazing enclosure for them, we could have stayed there all day. We had a fantastic day and would definitely go again. But I have to say its such a shame to see it so quiet, I know it's because of the virus but limited numbers must mean limited funds for the zoo. I hope things turn back to normal soon for them and they can get the high number of visitors back in.

Was ok. Not the most organised zoo I have been to. Plenty of animals in far field that you couldn't see from the path.

I.love Blackpool zoo but last time i.was there was far to busy

Good day out with the family

Great zoo

Lovely zoo,just big enough for a 5 year old. Would be 5 stars but food on offer Tu humans is truly terrible (cheap white sandwiches, greasy burgers etc) and all expensive !

Nice size zoo to get around in 3 or 4 hours (Chester is a 2 day job with young kids). Kids had a great time. Not all attractions were open due to covid but thats not their fault. Would definitely recommend

We had best and nice day kids enjoyed they had lots fun helpful staff car park is not free but you will pay only £3 for all day

Had a great few hours.....a little expensive at almost £20 each, but still had a great day....queues too big at the cafe to feel safe but that is expected at lunch time. Would definitely still go back always supporting local businesses.

When isthis place gonna open now ?

The Zoo is okay, too overpriced for the tickets and dont really get to see some of the animals. The map is kinda confusing lol .. The gift shop even keyring and tiny things are way yo expensive. Apart from that its a alright day out and I didn't like the fact we has customers have to pay for parking when we already paying for tickets for the visit parking should be free in places like these. Like Chester zoo has free parking.

Love this place, we've all got zoo passes and they are worth every penny.

Blackpool Zoo in a really nice small zoo with a large selection of animals. The Indian Elephants base camp is absolutely fantastic and world class. They have a very good selection of primates from Mountain gorillas and orangutans. The zoo keeps on improving its facilities and animal care.

Fabulous place to visit.

When I went to this zoo, there was a “dinosaur” thing going on. My partner is crazy about dinosaurs so we went and he loved it. You’ll love visiting this zoo, is worth it

Always a good day out at Blackpool Zoo! Okay with the covid-19 restrictions all indoor areas are closed but still plenty to see, we arrived about 10. 40 and as we walked around we managed to see most of the animals feeding time. Yes it's cold and yes it's a shame some areas are closed off but it's still a good day out and well worth the money.

Class

Still plenty to see , some of the animals were inside and couldn't be seen but a lot outside. Probably better because it was sunny today.

A nice zoo with some updated enclosures, fun day out

First tourist place I visited back in 2003! Great zoo

Ok

A good place to visit with the family

Love this zoo, small enough to get around to all parts. The sea lion enclosure is the biggest in Europe.

My 1st visit and lived the place. Not over crowded and so many animals too see. Will be back

Always a pleasure

Great day out with young family. Good social distancing/covid rules. Very upset/disappointed at the Kia enclosure. We are from New Zealand so know the birds well. The enclosure is not at all adequate for the birds. The keepers must not know the animals well as they have such big characters and are very entertaining but are in a darkened, tiny , out of the way 'cell'. What a shame.

Very good zoo. A lot of animals give yourself about 4 hours to see everything

Always love coming here. Me and the Mrs have a silver pass each and visit as often as we can.

Very quiet and so not foghting to view. Staff very helpful and park was nice and tidy and well kept. Good job.

Blackpool zoo super nice zookeper cool animals nice food

Lovely day out 😁

Brilliant experience loads of different animals

Great place for people of all ages.

The improvement in the pens after the new elephant 🐘 closure has been completed make this a good day out for the family. The dinosaur park has been much improved by the animated dinosaurs.

Always a great day out

What a great time we had plenty to see

Nice day out. Dinosaurs have had work done on them and move now! Little man loved it.

Great walk lots to do as family couple of friends

Throughly enjoyed our visit during the Halloween week, searching for clues - need to do more of these themes - keep up the good work of keeping animals and humans safe x 😊🤗

Great zoo for its size, well kept and great staff

Great zoo

A fantastic day out and a really good size zoo for younger children with little legs!

Randy otters and plenty of penguins. What more could you want.

We loved the pumpkin hunt 🎃🖤

It fabulous love animal xx

Loved every second seeing the animals. Everyone observed the distancing and mask wearing and there was hand sanitiser available at frequent intervals around the park.

Love this place ..... always a good trip and food not too bad either!!!

Fantastic Halloween adventure 👍

Loved this place. Lots of animals and fun, educational things to explore. Ideal location in the heart of Blackpool with lots of parking. Very reasonable entry prices. Good areas for food and prices good. Staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. The zoo is extremely clean and tidy and can't wait to visit again. Highly recommended.

Fantastic zoo. Plenty of things to see and do, even during these COVID times. I just wish they had more play areas for the kids. The dinosaur adventure is fantastic.

Extra fantastic

Was fantastic. Food was decently priced and the layout is great for people in wheelchairs or using a pushchair. Got quite busy but not too busy to feel crammed. Really enjoyed it and my favourite Zoo. Was unfortunate that the train ride and the animal shows weren't on though.

Great zoo, with lots of information on enclosures. Plenty of places to eat picnics, purchase food/drinks/ice creams. Animals seem well cared for with beautiful and spacious enclosures, with staff giving very detailed talks of the animals at regular intervals throughout the day. Shop has a variety of goods for sale. Parking is plentiful and is charged at £3 (20/8/21). Only complaint would be the standard of cleanliness of the toilets, poorly maintained - doors that don't lock and not cleaned regularly enough. Would highly recommend a visit to this zoo, lovely day out and easily a full day out.

Plenty to see and do. Park very well presented and pleasant. Parking extra at £3 per day. Seagulls were a nuisance when eating food outside. Animals quite easy to spot and lots on show. Kids petting zoo area disappointing, not much there. Went with 10, 4 and 2 year old and they all enjoyed it and were entertained.

A great day out, just a bit let down by the BBQ food area as it was swarming with large birds that tried to take food out of my 3 year old daughters hand as she was eating. No amount of shooing them away helped. Also disappointed that so many of the hand sanitiser dispensers around the zoo were empty.

Love Blackpool zoo. Such a great place for a day out lots of animals to see unfortunately we didn't see much of the lions and the tiger as they were enjoying their rest Nice big zoo. There's an on site cafe and gift shop..Great for kids...

We went to the zoo before we checked in on a haven site, thinking w would only be there a few hours but we got there at 11 and didn't leave till around 5! So much to see, the animals were all visible, regardless of weather! We got a few good chats with staff. The cafe was rammed mind so I'm glad we took our own or my kids would have lost their minds haha great play areas and the whole place was lovely and clean.

One of the best zoos around! Clean! Tidy! Animals well looked after! Amazing place, visited with a group of 13 people ranging from 6 years old to 60 years old. All of us had lots of fun. It's a must go

So far best money spent on the kids even if they kept on about playing in the park there, just kept taking them to the different sections after quick play times. Could have done with some better vantage points for the kids to actually see some of the animals but apart from that excellent day out.

I absolutely love the zoo. It is an amazing day out!

Good zoo. Small and compact. Not too many people in. Really enjoyed it.

Halloween theme was really good. Even in extremely wet weather. Kids had fun even when most animals were inside.

Excellent day out with my family !! We go every year for my sons birthday because he loves it there !!! Last year it rained but we still had lots of fun, this year the weather was on our side so we could take longer to observe and enjoy watching the animals and then lions and tiger was out which my kids loved .they also had a Halloween theme going on with it being Halloween next week . Also this time of year is when the blackpool lights are also on in october so we headed down for a good old fish and chips at a place called papas 👌.

Lovely zoo, all the animals look so beautiful and lovely to see them with lots of space and clean homes.

Despite a near full car park (pay and display!), it was pleasantly quiet. Not particularly big as some zoos I've been too but less expensive. Good if the kids like dinosaurs.

Great size zoo for young kids, animals are nicely spaced out and plenty of open spaces to sit if you have brought a picnic. You get great views of the elephants and giraffes by being on platforms so easily for the little ones to see. Was there for at least 4-5 hours.

Loved the zoo, great day out, well worth the money.

Apart from the rain we had a good day. I hadn't been to Blackpool zoo for a while in fact we were concerned about the animals welfare. But since the investment the zoo looks brilliant all the enclosures were in good condition. I will return.

Really great day. Even if it was cold! Lots to look at and the keepers were very informative. Unfortunate that the talks and shows weren't on due to covid (of course). Last time we went the seal show was very entertaining. My favourite part of this zoo if the Giraffe 🦒 enclosure. You can go up top or underneath and watch them. Food was okay and reasonably priced. The dinosaur area was a little bit questionable and could do with updating or removing for something else, as it doesn't seem to fit the surrounding theme

This has to be the best zoo I have visited. What a fantastic day out so many different animals to see Excellent 5⭐

Went for my grand sun's 4th birthday it was brilliant covid restrictions in place but we enjoyed going kids loved it nice visit in tough times.

Son bought tickets online for 4 of us and omg what a fantastic day, Been to zoo's all over but this was amazing. A nice mixture of animals. From dinosaurs to giraffes, monkeys and lions and so much more. A few bits closed due to work and to protect infection on the animals but it was January and the work has to be done and the animals have to be protected from infections so we were fine with that. Only the main cafe open so if you wanted a drink you had to go back to the main area to get one, would have been nice for 1 soft drinks ect area to be open to be open on way round but having a son old enough to send back for us oldies lol was ok. If your in Blackpool well worth a visit. We will deffo be going back when it's warmer. Monkey's where one of my favourites and watching them eating was adorable. The lions where waiting for there's and was nice to get a close up picture amazing.

Brilliant place, even with some covid restrictions in place, very conservation driven. Take your own butties, limited food but plenty drinks available. Animals well looked after. Small shop for souvenirs, kid friendly. Definitely recommend.

Fantastic day out the grandchildren loved it . The weather was lovely and this helped. On arrival the carpark was quite full all the disabled spaces were taken I drove round a few times then a lovely guy stopped me and asked what I was looking for when I said a disabled space he moved a cone from a space near the front and said I could park there well I could have kissed him as walking and standing are a very painful experience for me . We strolled round the zoo and kept stopping for rests and had a lovely picnic. The animals were all lovely and very well kept and looked after . Thank you for a lovely day out making memories with my family xx

Never been before & trying to get Mrs P into photography. Maybe I was expecting too much?. We got there at 11am. Most of the animals were inside which is difficult from a photography POV. Those that were outside were naturally behind a cage (again not good for close up shots). Lots of 'little people' which again makes moving around difficult but overall the Zoo itself was tidy, well laid out & the animals looked well cared for. I would definitely go again (maybe in Summer when the trees etc are more lush) but that would be it for me. Great value for a day out with lots to see. More for the little ones I'd say.

My favourite zoo of all time! We were annual members a few years ago when our children were small and now we just visit once or twice a year. It's the only zoo we visit as we love the size and location etc.

We LOVE Blackpool zoo. We try and take the kids once a year, usually for our anniversary, and the kids LOVE IT!!! It's got everything you want from a zoo, and some awesome shows too. Prices are usual for a zoo, a little high maybe, but worth it. Car park is big and cost £3 all day, so you can't moan what so ever about that. They also have an indoor and outdoor play area if you just wanna chill for a bit. 100% recommend to everyone

Great Zoo Some work going on making things better for the animals. Not overlly populated. All Animals look well cared for. Very easy to walk round lots of picnic spaces. Overall the zoo looks well maintained and looked after

Always a great day out! My youngest loves aardvarks and can't wait til his birthday to be able to feed them! If you are looking for an affordable family day out -this is it!! (Definitely worth getting a pass if you are going to visit more than once)

I really enjoyed walking around this zoo, the animals are well cared for and the enclosures are well maintained and full of enrichment items to keep them entertained. The ground is quite flat so is really good for people mobility issues. The big cat house is being redesigned at the moment and will not be open until next year. I definitely recommend buying tickets online as it works out cheaper. The car park is pay and display, costs £3 for the whole day.

We visited here today (family of 4 - 14 and 6 year olds). The zoo is nice. It’s clean and tidy and compact so there is not lots of walking for little legs and little kids won’t get bored quickly. We went at a time when the Big Cat enclosure is not open as it’s being moved which is a shame because that’s always a good part of any zoo. They have plenty of places to eat and drink. We went for a Subway which was good. This is a good zoo to visit and I’d recommend it.

Fantastic day out. Its not cheap but as a treat for two of our grandsons it's been a brilliant day. We spent over 5 hours there and if the little one wasn't tired we could of stayed longer. We take our own picnic with us but there is a Big eating place and plenty of picnic tables. Animals enclosures are all clean and well kept. Zoo shop is expensive but not as bad as some. It was busy, car park was full when we arrived just before 12 - £3 a day parking - but once we where through the gates it wasn't over crowded anywhere. Plenty of space for kids to run and lots to keep them interested and learn about animals, insects etc. Nothing bad to say.. Easy 5 stars

It's fantastic, much bigger than we expected. Do take the time to walk around slowly and go back to different areas, this way you'll see animals that sometimes are hidden. We went back to the tiger and lion enclosure and they were both active later in the day. Good café with vegan and vegetarian options. Lovely staff around to help if you require any. Be prepared to walk around a lot, it's real live animals and they can be having a rest so keep returning to the exhibits you may be lucky to see them.

Wonderful enclosures and well tended landscaping. Plenty of sitting areas and all day parking for £3. Wheelchair friendly, with ramps and full or low level viewing windows. A brilliant day out even today which had a few rain showers.

Really enjoyed our visit. The new big cats enclosure is really good, plenty of space for the animals to explore, and the new penguin enclosure is much better! Plenty of places to sit and get a drink to cool off too! Great day out!

Our experience here was mostly great. The only issue we had was a lack of coke freestyle machines working around the park, so to fill up, we had to go to the main cafe. The food was OK. However, the animals really steal the show they were happy and amazing and active

Took my 2 year old for her birthday and she loved it. We all did. Out off all the zoos we've been it's far the best we've been too. Well looked after animals, nice staff.

Good day out with the kids, can easily get around the zoo in a day as its not that big. Plus points has seal an birds show and is a nice place to walk around. Quite a few animals to see and dont forget you have to pay for car parking separately to your ticket you purchase. I have been better zoo's in the country if i be honest hence why I have given it a 3 star rating.

We had the best day ever. We arrived about 12 and had no issues with parking. We went all around the park and brought a packed lunch with us. We managed to eat whilst watching monkeys play, which was lovely. The bird house was easily our favourite. All of the birds instantly took a shine to everybody wandering around. We paid a small fee to feed them, and they took a shine to my glasses. There are lots of vending machines around and a lovely park for the kids to play. Only small gripe was the train not being available, which happens a lot since this is the 4th visit, and it always seems to be closed. All in all, a wonderful day out for the family. Highly recommended.

Great zoo with plenty of animals and attractions such as bird and sea lion shows, along with parks and activities to involve the kids too! A somewhat sunny day brought us to Blackpool Zoo. Everywhere was beautifully kept and well maintained. Animals such as Lions, Sea Lions, Elephants, Giraffes, Zebras, Lemurs, Wallabies and much more all on show where you could get up close and nearly personal! The lemur habitat was great! A small walk through enclosure where they literally come up to you! A highlight was definitely the Sea Lion show though. Short video attached. There are plenty of amenities including a restaurant. The food certainly overpriced, with not much allergen information available, however did also include a subway as well as Starbucks which did. There was also the option to buy a refillable large cup with filling stations for the new Coke machines (with lemonade, coke, Dr Pepper etc) in. A great idea! Again, pricey but the ability to fill it up every 15 minutes made it worth while, especially on a hot day. All staff were pleasant and knowledgeable and would certainly recommend. Just be aware it can become costly. ** REMINDER ** if you have Tesco Clubcard remember to check to redeem your money on there as currently it gets money off your tickets here!!

First ever visit whilst on holiday with my wife and two children. The zoo is really nice. Lots of beautiful animals and really good viewing areas. The dinosaur sarafi is a really nice touch, both my children absolutely loved this area. The zoo is very clean with nice friendly staff, I do have to mention how nice a young girl member of staff was who was operating the jungle bouncy castle ( I didn't get her name, but she had pink hair) she was very good with the kids and talking to the adults waiting and went to the aid of a child who was crying which was nice to see as she didn't hesitate to do so. Lots of food facilities across the park. Definitely worth a visit. Many thanks for the memories.

We've been quite a few times because we absolutely love it here. Great selection of animals to see although the lions are my favourite and my sons too I think. The staff are lovely. Can't comment on the cafe as we never go in but I always visit the gift shop. Definitely recommend 👌

Great zoo, ideal for small children as it’s not too big. Was good even in the rain. The enclosures looked a good size and well maintained. Was nice there was a Subway and Starbucks too.

I visited Blackpool Zoo after many years and was surprised with how it has been transformed since I last visited. Ample parking available, I think as it is council owned car park it was a reasonable £3. Zoo is deceptively big with a very good selection of animals and birds. My personal favourites were the red panda, lemurs, tigers, lions, elephants and giraffes which have a balcony to enable you to get up close. Thoroughly enjoyable day at a reasonable price compared to other zoos in the area.

Brilliant day out! There are so many talks and shows which are informative and lots of different animals to see. We took our 1 year old and 6 year old. They both had a great time and it was just the right size that they weren't exhausted. The enclosures weren't too spread out so they were always able to look at something. It was nice and clean with staff regularly walking around litter picking. Lots of picnic areas and stalls for drinks/ice creams, which didn't cost an arm and a leg. Would highly recommend and go again. The price is much more reasonable. If you book in advance online its a little cheaper.

Great experience for the whole family! 4 year old son loved the dinosaur safari. Food wasn't bad priced either. You get warned as you go in about seagulls swooping down at meal places, but you still get the odd person who will leave food for them.

Hands down one of the best Zoos I've been to. You'd think if you've been to one zoo then you've been to them all, but that is definitely not the case here. There is a large dinosaur section. Sadly they're not real 😅 But it was great for the kids. We're from Edinburgh and our local zoo doesn't have elephants so it was nice to see them here. The size of the place was much larger than I expected so expect to be there for a good 4-5 hours if you want to experience everything. We witnessed the Sea Lion show which was fantastic and FREE! This would definitely have been an additional cost back home. There are also interactive areas to pet and feed certain animals.

Such a lovely zoo, got to see all the animals the day we visited. Plenty of animals to see while walking around and the zoo itself isn’t too big or too small. Great day out for everyone.

I loved the quick and easy check in to get into the park. There is a variety of animals like red pandas, sheep, turtles, ect. The zoo is very pretty as well. Food was good but was a very long wait. Recommend this for all ages.

What an amazing zoo, second time I've been here and I really enjoyed it. Great enclosures for the animals, very informative staff who were more than happy to answer my daughter's questions on different animal. The information dotted around the zoo was really informative without being too much to take in.

Great visit to Blackpool Zoo. Lots of variety of animals, shows and talks. From wolves to wallabies, monkey areas to play areas - and a dinosaur trail to enjoy too. Spotlessly clean, plenty of parking. Would recommend and will definitely visit again.

Wonderful day out for all ages. We will be going back the animals are well looked after it's very informative and lots of things to occupy all ages. Very clean very friendly and welcoming.

Fantastic place to visit. Not to busy. Plenty of clean toilets. Many places to sit down. Staff really friendly. All animals made an appearance. Animals looked healthy, areas they occupied had food and water. Fed the birds.Highly recommend you visit here really worth the money. Only negative is arrived and car park machines not taking money. As going in side I noticed a man with orange jacket who i got a ticket from. If ever back in Blackpool will be returning.

Lovely clean and well kept zoo. We were there for 3 hours. The enclosures were all fab with lots of space for animals to move around. The peacocks are free to move around and you will find them everywhere. There was little chicks with the penhen :) Theres a large cafe with Subway sandwiches as an option. Its a large zoo with slight hills but plenty of benches for rest stops. You can hire a wheelchair from reception. Would thoroughly recommend

We had a lovely day here, the staff were very helpful and informative. The facilities were good, plenty of food and drinks and toilets. Lovely setting with trees and lakes. Food and drinks were great. Good selection of animals to look at with information about the animals next to the enclosure.
