Marwell Wildlife, The Long Room

Had a great day out here and there was something for everyone. My 3 year old daughter loved seeing the Giraffes up close and was excited to get up close and personal with the monkeys and see them get fed too. The staff were very knowledgable and friendly and were really keen to chat to us casually and explain some of the funny behaviours that the monkeys where displaying too! It was a great day overall and it's so important that places like Marwell not only exist, but thrive. Conservation is so important and its great to see so many endangered animals roam around happily in large, clean, interesting enclosures. It would be tragic if these creatures went extinct before my three year old reaches my age and so places like Marwell that focus on protecting and breeding these endangered animals are so crucial. :)

Wonderful zoo, the animals are well looked after, staff are all great and care for the animals and their jobs. Lots of walking paths and places to explore, stopping points and food outlets. Number of play parks en route. It’s about 3 miles total walking distance around the outer perimeter. Very clean and tidy. As with any zoo, the big cats and primates can’t have as much space to roam and play as they would in an ideal world but they are safe. We went on the weekend when it’s very busy and in the week as well, during the week is far better and less crowded. The zoo relies on donations, paying customers and ticket entry - it’s all going to a valuable cause.

Amazing little zoo. Such good value for money. It had many more animals in high quality enclosures than I had expected for the size and price. Little gem
