I have visited Durrell several times over the years since the mid 80s and always like to come back when on holiday in Jersey. I am not a fan of zoos but Durrell is a very different place, with conservation and preservation of endangered species foremost. There are a number of well publicised talks throughout the day which coincide with... More

tickets are roughly £13 for an adult single. their is a wide range o animals, unfortunately no tigers or lions e.t.c. it is after all jersey and quite a small place. however the tour guide is very helpful and each talk lasts approx 20 minutes which is pretty long enough t stand around watching each animal. i havent eaten at...

Very good day out and highly recommended! Good for families with children with the wide variety of animals. More than just a zoo as you can see the hard work that has been put in to the park.

The reptile and amphibian house was more interesting than I thought it would be. Try playing 'spot-the-frog'! Some of them were unbelievably tiny.... More

Loved the open spaces they've gotbalance right with being able to view the animals Great selection of walks around and on the whole he animals look very happy nod well cared for

my first visit and loved every moment, even the weather was kind and kept the rain to a minimum. We had a wonderful guide - John, he was informative and funny and obviously loves his role as a volunteer, long may he continue. After our visit we had a well deserved coffee and great big piece of banoffee pie, my... More

We visited the zoo on a cold spring day and many of the animals were huddled together making it difficult to find them. The zoo is well set out but for an entry fee of £13.50 you think they may have thrown in a map. With out a map we were still able to find our way around. Getting to... More
