Lovely zoo! Very clean and well maintained with modern facilities. Lots to see and do, plenty of room to eat and the Lakeside (?) Cafe was reasonably priced with good food and plenty of choice. It is well laid out with lots of information and good viewing platforms. There is a lovely Childrens Farm, a little train that takes you... More

I visited with my 6 year old daughter and my wife who uses a wheelchair. The zoo was fully accessible. The animals seemed to have plenty of space and there was a good selection. Feeding with the sea lions was the highlight. Well worth a visit, although expensive (£15.50 for adults) so make sure you make the most of your... More

I travelled down to the zoo with my sister, elderley grandmother and 2 teenage cousins. We paid for our tickets online saving 10% in the process. So it cost us aroud 54 pound for a family of four and a pensioner which I found to be about right for this type of attraction. It costs 2.50 to park the car... More

Very reasonable price compared to some other zoos! The staff were friendly and helpful, and everything was easily accessible even with a double buggy. As well as all of the animals, there was a good selection of 'extras'..the sea lion show, and feeding of the elephants etc were enjoyed by both of our children. Would recommend for an enjoyable family... More

very well kept animals. no decent shop, look at Chester zoos shop. the eating place was mayhem and very noisy. there should be a venue for those of us that want a quiet cup of tea. strangely lots of the refreshment booths shut in the Oct half term.

We walked there as its not to far from caravan park. We had a brilliant day so many different animals to see. We loved watching... More

I love Blackpool Zoo. Have been on numerous occasions and have luckily had the opportunity to even work there in the past. Its value for money as you can spend the whole day there. Plenty of stuff for the kids to see and do. Places to eat and drink inside to. Will be going again soon. There is a bus... More
