    An incredible place to visit. Great for all ages. This is not a typical zoo. 90% of the animals are rescue animals and are now in a place of care. The staff are all fantastic the facilities are clean and well maintained. They have feeding times posted for many of the animals but the biggest treat was the separately paid for lemur experience. The staff took us into the cage and told us all about lemurs up close and personal. It was incredible and worth every penny. Most importantly is the care and respect they had for the animals.

    Categorically the best wildlife park experience I have had. The small but very cheap attraction/rescues Centre is a truly amazing experience that gives you much time and engagement with animals. We spent a good 45 minutes hanging out with Lemurs and Tamarinds. Best tip, go early about 11am to have the park almost to yourself and enjoy staff feeding the animals. A truly wonderful experience.

    Absolutely stunning gem in Gib. The zoo is small but there's a lot packed in and it is very well designed over multiple terraces (note: lots and lots of stairs). All of the animals are rescues and it's obvious they're very well cared for. Plus, it's very inexpensive (£6 for adults). Highly recommended, as well as the gorgeous botanical gardens where it sits.

    Very very good value for money and this place was recommended by a friend. Small but really well laid out over several terraces and with clever nooks and crannies to get closer to the animals. None of them seemed like they had cramped conditions and it was a great way to save illegal imported animals seized by the Gibraltar customs. Do not miss feeding times around 12-1 or 4 until close- we thought we had missed them arriving around 2 but then the otters got fed and There’s nothing as adorable as they meowing they make when they’re expecting food. Adults and children alike will be entranced by all manner of birds and animals such as parrots, snakes, bats, bearded dragon, turtles, terrapins, otters and a few types of monkeys and lemurs. As an animal loving family, we easily spent 90 mins in there without getting bored, and for the £6 entry fee it’s a bargain

    We stayed in this park for two hours, captivated by the adorable lemurs and monkeys. The care given to all the animals was heartwarming and added to the overall experience. It's evident that the well-being of the animals is a top priority. We absolutely loved it and highly recommend a visit.

    Amazing little place with a variety of birds and little monkeys. We were the only ones there & saw all the animals with no problem. The ring tail lemur was very curious and he was not respecting the plate saying "do not touch animals" - I was the animal in this case. He came to say hello and was very interested in my phone. Amazing experience. Some animals did not enjoy us bothering them but some (like mr. lemur) were happy to see us and tried to interact. The price was £8 for an adult, so slightly more than was before.

    Despite it not being the biggest wildlife park I have been it it has its own charm. There are plenty of different animals to look at. The main being the monkeys but they have a walkthrough area with birds and lemars. The price was very budget friendly so despite its size it was well worth the cost. After being in the wildlife park there is a lovely garden to walk around that it is located in with a good park for the kids at the bottom. Also, the entrance to the park/gardens is at the foot of the cable car to Gibraltar rock so can be easily tied in with a visit up the rock. Definitely worth a visit.

    Very friendly staff girl and very cute animals. There is even one closed space, where you can be in contact with several birds and lemurs.

    The park is small but absolutely beautiful. Loved it much better than the over-advertized top-of-the-rock monkey experience. The surrounding boranical garden is stunning. A must-visit place!

    Small wildlife park but interesting, a few species of monkeys, snakes, bats, turtles and parrots can be seen there. It was nice, the ticket for an adult is 6 pounds / 7 euros.

  • 5/5 James H. 1 year ago on Google • 55 reviews
    Had a great time, a good mix of smaller animals. Quite a lot of steps so could be a problem for those with mobility issues. Nice and cool due to dense foliage.

  • 5/5 Stuart W. 6 months ago on Google • 54 reviews
    A little gem within the Botanic Gardens with conservation at its heart. A good variety of animals housed within an interesting maze of interwinding trails. Can easily be seen within an hour. Well worth a visit. Entry is not cheap although it goes to a worthy cause.

    This wildlife park is amazing. The park does incredible conservation work and protects beautiful and vulnerable species. The highlight of our trip was seeing the Vietnamese pot-bellied pigs who were so gentle, and the blue and yellow macaw that said ‘hello’ to us!

    Small but well kept place Animals seem well looked after and staff helpful and welcoming

  • 3/5 Botskimo 7 months ago on Google
    Went there, no tourists, literally about 20 staff around the tiny zoo. I counted 12 animals, most of them being monkeys and snakes. Not accessible by car and a bit of a long walk. Decent shade around the place. And I understand its a charitable place but u don't need that many people working there for 12 animals

    Small but fun zoo. Entry fee is very reasonable. Zoo is mainly made up from confiscated animals from the illegal wildlife trade. Great to see them being given a better future. Walk in lemur exhibit was a highlight!

  • 5/5 Jamie F. 1 year ago on Google
    Cheap, great selection of animals, well looked after, great for kids. You get to go into the area where the Lemurs live. Worth a visit if your in Gibraltar!

    Lovely seeing rescued monkeys and the parrots were very vocal. Small, only took 30 minutes to walk around. £8 entry fee. Disappointed most enclosures were empty and not a large range of animals that were stated online. A small cafe or shop would benefit for income and time spent here.

  • 5/5 Mara V. 2 years ago on Google
    It’s brilliant and very well kept. Everytime I go I fall in love with it more and more every animal is perfectly looked after.

👍👍 This destination is almost at the apex of the Rock of Gibraltar! However, people with Acrophobia may want to avoid as the scene is pretty intense. Again, this was a destination of the Taxi tour.
