only ever been to this zoo once. That was 2 years ago. Didnt know what to expect but i had heard good reviews. First thing is that its in the middle of a college campus, which seems odd, second thing is that parking is a nightmare and we had to park in a side street close to the zoo. That aside, this is a really great day out. Without a doubt, every member of the family had a great time. Had been told that there were exotic animals there, but sadly no elephant or giraffes. Not Longleat, but still a great day,

I LOVE BRISTOL ZOO! A great day out - The time flies by. Personally I love Monkey Jungle but another highlight has to be the penguins - It's lush watching them swim over your head. I took my 2 year old neice here earlier in the year and she proper loved it - Nearly as much as me! So whatever your age, get down to the zoo, it rocks!

ahhh I love this zoo so much! It is not quite the same now there is no elephant or giraffe but they still have some really cool sights to see (my favourite being the mouse deer!) It is nicest if you visit the zoo on a warm day and spend from mid morning to early afternoon there stopping at the cafe and eating your lunch outside. It's a great day out for anyone of any age!
Go and meet Jock and have a great day out

Another great day out in Clifton is provided by the Bristol Zoo Gardens. Whether it's huge beasts or little critters your interested in, Bristol Zoo caters for it all. I love going to zoos and have been to plenty across the country, including Newquay, Chester and Paignton. Bristol has great little areas – like Gorilla Island and Monkey Jungle – that are very cleverly designed. A great day out for all the family and thoroughly recommended. One word of advice, don't pay to park in the car park when there is ample street parking in the vicinity.
