Marwell Wildlife, The Long Room

We went on a Saturday. We bought our tickets online and saved waiting at the entrance. The park is clean, there are plenty of areas for children to play and restaurants with a good price but with a very good quality. We saw a lot of animals although there were some areas without animals. The organisation is very good and you can do the tour in one day very comfortably. There are no shows or at least we didn't see anything to see how they are fed or an explanation of their lives. Highly recommended and very good to go with children.

Been too loads of different zoo's in the past and I have too say that this is one of the best. We got there for 10 on Sunday when they opened and we walked round seeing all the different animals stopped of for lunch and had a train ride and that took us up to 2.15. It was a lovely day, the animals looked well looked after. Would have liked too see more turtles and monkeys but apart from that is was brilliant.

Another fabulous visit (members) Really enjoy being a member here, you never get the same experience and always come away with a different favourite of the day…today it was the weaver birds, busy making beats for their ladies absolutely fascinating to watch the different stages they were at with their ‘house builds’. Rhinos were very active today and we enjoyed watching them take a mud bath before bustling toward the same tree for a good scratch! Today we met a volunteer at two different points around the park ‘Dave Taylor’ he was fabulous telling us all about the lemurs and then what was new since we last visited including the new snow leopard (who we were lucky enough to later spot). We later bumped into him in the tropical house, his knowledge of all the bird species was fascinating and he helped us spot all the breeds. He really made the day more interesting and enjoyable. Very clean (including all animal enclosures we encountered were extremely well kept) family friendly day out, accessible for all with no steps, plenty of inside and outdoor picnic areas dotted around the park, even in the height of summer we have never struggled to find a picnic table. Good choice of food in the cafes/snack stations, gift shop sells a lovely array of items of interest to babies, children and adults. Would love to see a ‘keeper for the day’ experience introduced. I am still missing the Marabou storks though, loved how they liked showing off to visitors
