This is one of the best zoos I’ve visited! A really good day out for young and old. It just the right size and takes a full day to have a good look round without being too big. Some zoos are far to big to do in one day and you have to rush round. Colchester is just right. The thing that impressed me most was that there was somewhere to eat round every corner, and there’s plenty of toilets and benches. There is a great selection of animals and has all the big one you would want to see like lions, tigers, elephants, giraffes, orangutans etc and some more obscure ones. All the animals look healthy and well looks after. The only thing is that it is expensive especially if you have a family. However all zoos are pretty much the same, they are all trying to recoup lost revenue from covid. All in all a very impressive zoo.

A great place to visit. One good thing is the number of foilets, when you have a large group of children this is essential! There are lots of picnic spots, seating areas and places to get snacks. Staff are friendly and helpful. Our 'train' driver was brilliant, the children loved his sense of humour and the adults liked the information he gave us. Didn't know there were so many types of lemurs!!

By far the best zoo I have been to in many years! Nicely spaced out and easy for a pushchair. Animals all look well looked after. Fabulous day had by all four generations of the family 😀

Had a great morning at Colchester zoo before it was officially open. As gold pass holders we got to see the animal's morning routines and watched many of them get their breakfasts in this special event. We were all agreed that the highlight of the morning was watching a sloth dash (relatively speaking) along a rope to get breakfast out of a bucket. We got some amazing photos! We also had the best display we've ever seen from one of our firm favourites - the sea lions, ahhhed at the peacefully sleeping lion and... Oh, so many wonderful moments. Thank you Colchester zoo for a lovely and memorable morning.

Lovely day out at the zoo. We are gold card holders so go a lot. We went on a Friday in term time. The car park was still so busy at 4pm when we left, inside the zoo it didn't feel too busy as people were spaced out.
Top tips - pre book soft play. The play area at the top is great for older kids (needs more benches though!) There is a fab play area just past the elephants which has equipment for smaller children plus picnic tables and toilets.
Loved the guinea pig village, so sweet! Also great to see the baby alpaca and baby monkeys. Glad to see the brick trail, thanks for keeping this Colchester Zoo!
The car park is large but not the greatest design... a very narrow road between parking areas so can be very tight to manoeuvre which is a shame as there is plenty of space for the zoo to make these roads wider. Also I understand the need for wooden blocks at the end of the parking area but they're not the easiest thing to see when turning out of the car park, a higher fence would be better!
Overall I recommend this zoo. You can easily be there a full day.

Zoo is excellent albeit it was a hot day and animals seemed to be out the back. I wished we had taken a picnic! Food cost me £53 for three adults two children and was poor at best. Drinks are also expensive. This was out first time since covid and surprised they now charge £20 to feed elephants and giraffes. This used to be free and was a real highlight. Overall expensive day out. Next time I will be taking a packed lunch.

Last time I went was last year as been working away but it’s somewhere I love to go when I’m free. I love the chimps and could watch them all day, listened to a fab talk from a lovely girl who we’d seen giving a talk before at sea life in Southend, really knowledgeable and happy to answer questions, she played tag with a chimp which was lovely to see. Do wish the orangutans had a better enclosure and the lions too.

Is it possible to buy tickets on site at the zoo?
Selina L

We bought online which as others have said is cheaper but o believe it is absolutely possible to buy on site. Also, buying online enabled us to add on things like feeding experiences (which were actually really reasonable) which have to be pre booked in advance.

Hello,
I live in the Netherlands and going to England in 2 weeks and want to visit colchester zoo and want to book an animal experience. I am looking and like the giraffes, pinguïns, aardvarks and armadillos. Anyone done one of these. How was it like do you get to feed them and get really up close. Can you make photos during this experience for my photobook

They all sound good. There’s a feeding experience you can do in the zoo also - you pay £20 I think and up to 5 people can feed the giraffes or the elephants so that is something you can look to do. It is just feeding but it’s great and means you can do this as well as the experience. You have to book it though and ideally in advance as they can go quickly

We arrived at 9, left about 1, so 4 hours to see all animals and have lunch.

If bringing a picnic in the winter months, are there designated indoor areas where we can eat? If not, does anyone know if you’re allowed to eat your own food in the cafes? I know this isn’t usually the case but in light of the recent (Jan 2020) terrible reviews about the eateries, I don’t feel inspired to dine there!

There are plenty of areas for picnics inside and out and I’m sure there are heaters as well. We went there in December and people were having picnics.

Could someone please tell me what exactly the hyena encounter entails? I love hyenas! Thanks x
monkeynip
Ipswich, UK54 bidrag
The hyena encounter is more of a behind the scene experience facts from the keeper and that you get to feed them etc but not touch them.
planing to buy online, do we need to show proof of id at the entrance? is it still a good idea visiting in a rainy day?

If you don’t mind it , It’s good on a rainy day as it won’t be too busy
No proof of ID need it but you’ll need the car you paid with

Do they ell family tickets. I’m a single dad with a 17 year old 14 year old and a 6 year old. Single prices would make it a very expensive day out.

yes they do but children must be below 12. They do TESCO vouchers, so if you shop there it is v. helpful. Anyway look at the website, it does give you all the alternatives.

I want to book the penguin experience but am worried it’s just a simple and quick feed and out again which is a lot for the money. Has anyone done it before and can tell me what it’s like?

Me and my girlfriend have just done the keeper shadowing experience with penguins. Had an amazing time, in total you have about 45 mins to do it all, 15 mins or so weighing out their fish then the remaining half hour feeding it to them all. An amazing experience to have penguins literally standing on the ends of your shoes and slapping your legs with their flippers to make sure they are first to get fed. Definitely got half an hour with them but it flew by. Just a tip if you do it, give them the fish very slowly and you'll drag out the time.
