Fantastic day out and evening away... loved every minute 😃 about it - Amazing and fun experience. The Meerkats and Lemurs are awesome to spend time with and feed. It was also great to learn so much about them. I would highly recommend it. The keeper, Sarah, was fabulous. My friend and I saw her later on around the zoo, and she was really helpful and extremely informative about some of the other animals we were looking at. Thank you Sarah. Such a fabulous place to visit.. we will definitely return for another visit and experience. In addition we spent the night at Badger's Wood... a very high standard luxurious wooden lodge with a hot tub... lush!!!
The owner, family and all the staff... thank you all for your friendly welcoming hospitality 💜

- We did the meerkat experience with 4 of us. It was absolutely fantastic and was extremely interesting to learn so much about them. The meerkats were so friendly and just sat on our knees even without us having food. Would definitely recommend this activity to anyone.

Amazing - We did the Lemur experience saturday morning and it was AMAZING !! the lemurs were so cheeky (mainly larry 🤣) and the member of staff taking us around was so kind and helpful ! You aren’t allowed to touch them and they can’t touch you so the member of staff did an amazing job trying to prevent it but again Larry loved to play jokes !!

The Best Day Out! - We had the best day - age in group of 7 went from 22 to 81 and we all had a great time! I was able to hire a mobility scooter (first time on one!!) and it made my day as I was able to join in the fun all the way round. Prices very reasonable and the feeding experiences for the meerkats and lemurs just added the icing on the cake! Would thoroughly recommend for a family day out!

Lovely day out at Hoo Zoo - Had a lovely day out again at Hoo Zoo. Group of 4 made up of family and friends from 25 to 80 years old. It's a friendly zoo and the staff are clearly passionate about the care of the animals, many of which are rescues.
We did the carnivore experience and met with a snake, a skunk, a fox and our favorite, fed the serval.
Great day had by all, would recommend a visit here if you like a chilled, friendly day out at your own pace.
Thanks Hoo Zoo!

- We came here with our two kids (5&2) and we had a ball! This place is super family friendly and there is so much to do! We booked it mainly for the dinosaurs as our 2 year old loves them and he was absolutely amazed 😊
The staff are beyond friendly especially the lovely girl who worked in the shop/cafe today- I didn't catch her name but she couldn't have done enough for us 😊
The toilets are all super clean and there are so many amenities which are needed when going places with young kids.
100% recommend for a day out with the kids! 🥰

Fantastic 2nd Birthday Idea! - We took our daughter for her 2nd birthday. She absolutely loved the entire visit from feeding the animals to roaring at the dinosaurs and finally the park while having some lunch. Such an amazing day.

We love it here!! - I’ve been coming since I was a baby. I love it here and have so many happy memories at Hoo Farm (now Hoo Zoo). I now bring my 15 month old here and he loved it just as much as I do. We came with my mum and my husband for Mother’s Day this year and the couldn’t have asked for a better day out! Thank you so much for everything you all do! I recommend coming here 100%!!

A great experience amongst the animals - We got a carnivore combo for 2 experience day and had an amazing time. All the staff were friendly, our tour guide was very knowledgeable and interesting to listen to. The experience itself was very memorable as we fed a serval, held a skunk, a snake and went into an enclosure with foxes. We then pottered about the zoo afterwards and enjoyed seeing the rest of the animals (who looked well cared for). We'll be recommending this place to our friends.
