Great farm, great dinosaurs - Great attraction. Lots to see and do. Plenty of animal enclosures. The talks are great and very informative. Lots of places to sit and eat too which is nice. The use of robotic dinosaurs is great and walking around them is fun. Would happily come back here.

carnivore combo - we went to do the carnivore combo for 2 , it was really good. the time was perfect and the price was worth it too. we were there for around 2 hours on the experience and the rest was on the normal park. which is also brilliant . would recommend

Excellent day out. Highly recommended - What an amazing day out at Hoo Zoo and dinosaur world. Exceptionally friendly and helpful staff. Very clean. Great play area. Caters for different ages of children. Great value, particularly if you get a platinum pass. Very happy, tired out 3 year old granddaughter, after a full day. We will be back.

Excellent family day out, everyone needs to visit. - An amazing and great family experience. Especially for young children and children with SEN needs. My daughter is sen and uses a mobility scooter. The zoo has great playground equipment. Interactivity with the animals Is fantastic. You can buy animal food and we all enjoyed the feeding the goats, deers wallabies and the llamas. We saw the amazing wallabies and even their little babies poking their head out in their walk through enclosure. The interactive experience with the moving dinosaurs was great, we all thoroughly enjoyed them and the man who was showing the interactive dinosaur was amazing, so funny, intelligent and friendly. The staff are all so friendly, thoughtful, and knowledgeable about the animals. My eldest loves the wolves and would spend the whole day watching them if she could. We spent about 6 hours there and even with the rain we all had a great day and lots of memory making.

AMAZING!!! - Honestly amazing place to take the kids no matter the weather!! I went with my parents and boys about 6 weeks ago and then back tomorrow with my hubby and boys…. The experience was so good both times, with some of the different animas active of each visit and then different activities on too! Highly recommended

Excellent experience - We did a lemur and meerkat feeding experience for my grandson’s 11th birthday. It was excellent - great zookeeper looked after us and she had loads of knowledge. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Also had a very nice day seeing the other animals and the dinosaurs!

Really informative and super friendly staff - We went for badger watching at 5:40 and arrived around 3pm to have a look around the rest of the Hoo zoo. We arrived to a really friendly welcome and was shown around the immediate area. Picked up some food from the cafe, which was ok, chips weren’t the best but I can forgive that because the staff are just so nice and welcoming. Walking around the Hoo zoo, wish we had allowed more time before our experience, there’s lots of animals to look at and learn about and they are clearly looked after really well, there’s lots of staff know their stuff and their animals and the enclosures are really well fit for the animals in them. I particularly liked the wolf wood where the wolves looked really happy. The badger experience was very good, we were really lucky as sighting is not always guaranteed, Sarah our guide was super and really knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend. Thank you Sarah and everyone at Hoo zoo, it was a very enjoyable day

Good but no shows? - Really good experience. It was our 1st time visiting. Definitely wear wellies or walking boots very muddy in parts. The highlight had to be the wallaby walk. Play areas for kids dotted about. Id definitely recommend bringing your own food, the hot food it the tea rooms is quite highly priced. We purchased the platinum pack for kids for £15 this included an icecream, refilable drinks all day, activity book and animal food. Lots of hand washing stations. The only downfall is there were supposed to be Jumpy the ankylosaurus and that never happened, and we never saw feeding the trex or training raptors?
