Is London Zoo good?

Question

I am taking my partner to London tomorrow for her birthday, we're seeing a show, having a meal etc.

I am thinking of taking her to London Zoo during the day and I'm wondering if it is good?? Actually I'm more worried about whether it will be really busy? It winds me up when you pay to get in and then its so busy you can't see anything of the attraction anyway... sorry small rant lol. Is there usually a massive queue to get in?

So is London Zoo good??!!

Answer 1

I will ask one of the keepers to let one of the lions out so that the place will be empty just before you arrive!

This London attraction is busy at anytime of the year as it is one of the most famous zoos.

You will need Regents Park on the Bakerloo Line for access to the Zoo. I hope you have a nice day out.

Answer 2

London Zoo is quite good, yeah, and it shouldn't be too busy as its not school holidays or anything. Only problem with it is that its not fantastically convenient to get to by public transport. Check out their website though http://www.zsl.org/zsl-london-zoo/

Answer 3

didn't it shut down?

Answer 4

I visited with my girlfriend a few months ago, it was raining so the place was deserted and a lot of the animals were indoors, but we still had a brilliant time!  Make sure you go to see the gorrillas (and other animals) being fed, as they love to play up to their audience!

I would advise bringing your own lunch unless you don't mind paying through the nose for food from the cafe (although in fairness, some of the money goes towards maintaining the animals)

Answer 5

I think its excellent..but try to go during the week when its not as crowded as the weekend.

Its places the empahasis on scientific research and species preservation, and its displays are fascinating. It has no elephants or rhinos anymore, but there lions,giraffes  and gorillas if you're into big animals. It has a brand new ape enclosure, which is very impressive, and is particularly good with smaller animals and birds.

Answer 6

Alot of the animals from London Zoo has gone to the Whipsnade safari park. Whipsnade is definitely 100% better. The last time visited London Zoo I was quite disappointed.

Answer 7

Not really its a pretty old fashioned zoo, better of with the safari parks like Whipsnade or Woburn.

Answer 8

London Zoo is fantastic. You should definitely go but leave time to see all the animals they have there. Last time I went there wasn't much of a queue.
