Allow plenty of time. Don’t linger too long looking at each animal. Plenty of places to eat away from attraction.

London Zoo: A Day Full of Surprises

Visited on a cold, grey April day and honestly it exceeded expectations. The star of the show is absolutely Land of the Lions, the proximity to the animals through the glass is unlike anything I've experienced at a zoo. You're literally face to face with a lion with just a pane of glass between you. The Indian street setup makes it genuinely immersive, not just another enclosure. The Reptile House was a hidden gem, dark, atmospheric and the animals are always visible up close. The Titicaca frog alone is worth a visit. The Butterfly Paradise is best visited later in the day. I went twice and the second visit was completely different, managed to photograph some stunning species up close. Penguin Beach delivered a fantastic talk and the Bugs exhibit with the spider webs up close was unexpectedly brilliant. Cold days mean some animals stay inside, but the smaller enclosed exhibits actually shine more. The zoo is compact enough to do everything in one day if you plan your talks around the app schedule.

Would Recommend

Spent the best part of around 4 hours taking in all the zoo has to offer (& there were no children in our group!). Some of the exhibits were undergoing renovation, so access wasn't possible, but there was still plenty to see. The site is huge, so be prepared to be walking around a lot, though there are plenty of benches/seating, etc. Lots of visible staff who were keen to answer any questions/help. There are plenty of restroom facilities which were clean and well maintained. A large restaurant provides a variety of choices for drinks, snacks, meals, etc.
