    An abundance of God's feathered friends, in all their colourful splendour. Highlights: feeding of the rainbow lorikeets & attending the big bird show! Man, that was amazing!

    Nice and pleasant zoo. The food was also good. But unfortunately they don't keep it clean and there's a lot of rubbish on the ground. Otherwise nice

  • 5/5 Stefan M. 4 years ago on Google • 19 reviews
    Nice ZOO, has a wide variety of animals. As a reference, took me ~5-6 hours to see all the tracks. Also, all animals seem to be treated quite well.

    This review is just about the food. We were there on a busy day in April. Several of the restaurants and snack pavilions were inexplicably closed. The one restaurant we did eat at (Lepelaar) was awful by anyone's standards, i.e. overpriced FEBO-style snack food and a stressed out sandwich bar. They really need to get a restaurant makeover. I refuse to accept that this zoo's patrons do not want higher quality food when they go to the zoo with their families. If Ikea can do it, you can do it too.

    Parking is a bit expensive, but the zoo is spacious and nice. However, when we went, there were several repairs going on, so we didn't see much. If you go in the morning when the animals are active, you can even see polar bears joking around.

    Even much more various of animals than a regular zoo. Not just bird species but the the madagascar section with lemurs are also amazing.

  • 5/5 Maria L. 3 years ago on Google
    Lovely bird zoo. The birds of prey show is good, but most fun is feeding the loris.

  • 4/5 Anna Nicol T. 3 years ago on Google
    The animals looked beautiful. There's a big playground, which is very fun for the children. I believe there's about 3 restaurants. I went to one near the playground, and the food was absolutely amazing. Even though the park needs some serious cleaning in certain places - like the pools in the penguin area, they were very dirty and hardly had any water in them - I'll give it 4 stars.

  • 5/5 obinna o. 4 years ago on Google
    The hotel has an adjoining park that is free for individuals checked in at the hotel. Park has about 22 species of birds, several small bridges across water bodies that accumulates into about four small lakes and I one large one. There are playing area for kids and a perfect holiday stuff for the whole family.

  • 5/5 Sarathlal M. 3 years ago on Google
    Wonderful place, we had really great day. Park having lot of variety of birds. There is nice play ground for kids and gardens. Night safari to see owl is simply awesome and tropical area too. I feels like this is the best place to see birds and definitely a place to go out with kids

  • 5/5 Gedeon S. 3 years ago on Google
    This park is owned and operated as a nonprofit organisation, it shows, it's beautiful. An unforgettable experience for both young and old. Unexpected bonus: The playground is an attraction by itself.

  • 5/5 Kelsey B. 3 years ago on Google
    This place was amazing!!! The birds were great, the mammals were great, everything we saw was great. The space was so large... very open and very clean. We'll definitely go back one day.

    (Translated by Google) A bird park? That's nothing was our thought ... We went anyway because we had tickets from an amusement park subscription (otherwise we would never have been here!) The park was way beyond our expectations! The park really amazed us! We are very surprised by this super nice and cool park! Are you in doubt? So just go, it is more than worth it !!! (Original) Een vogelpark? Das toch niets was onze gedachte... Toch gegaan omdat we kaartjes hadden vanuit een pretpark abonnement (anders waren we hier nooit heen geweest!)

  • 4/5 Clara G. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) You can really get anywhere with the walking routes. It's just a pity that there is no direct route to the exit from the playground. Then you would have to go around the entire main route again. And you would like to do the playground last and not first. Nice park and also a really nice playground for the kids. With 4 children (6.8 and 2x 11 years) all had a nice day! (Original) Met de looproutes kun je echt overal komen. Alleen jammer dat er vanaf de speeltuin geen rechtstreekse route naar de uitgang is. Dan zou je dus de hele hoofdroute weer rond moeten. En de speeltuin wil je juist graag als laatste doen en niet als eerste. Leuk park en ook een onwijs leuke speeltuin voor de kids. Met 4 kinderen (6,8 en 2x 11 jaar) allemaal een leuke dag gehad!

  • 5/5 Jaydey J. 3 years ago on Google

  • 1/5 clifford w. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) My experience was bad ... beautiful pictures on the internet but in reality it is 3x nothing. Too bad .. I don't advise anyone to go there .. and you pay 18 euros. Entrance and if you want to walk in the room with those loose birds, you also have to pay extra. Ridiculous ... bird show was super boring too (Original) Mijn ervaring was slecht..mooie plaatjes op internet maar in het echt is het 3x niks. Jammer ..ik raad niemand om daarheen te gaan.. en je betaal 18 euro.entree en als je in de ruimte wil gaan lopen met die losse vogels, moet je ook nog extra betalen. Belachelijk... vogel show was ook super saai

    Our favorite place to spend any day it has a lot of things to do and to see. If it’s raining we are going to Amazonica, Aquarium, or a covered playground. If it's a nice sunny day to go through the zoo and enjoy a great view of animals. The zoo has a lot of playgrounds for kids and nice snack places to have a beat. Highly recommend to visit Blijdorp.
