Newquay Zoo

Newquay Zoo is worth a visit however it is a little on the small side and you do get around quite quickly. However if you take the trail, go around the maze and have lunch/picnic then it does fill a morning/afternoon quite nicely. There are lots of animals for the kids to see and various interesting talks throughout the day. Would recommend the food in the café we had a lovely lunch there.

We came here on a damp and drizzly day but the zoo didn't disappoint. It is small but there is a kids trail to do on the way round and interesting talks about the animals. The kids loved that they could pay 50p and feed the penguins!! I would recommend it for a day out but be aware that it isn't big and therefore if you didn't want to spend time doing the trail etc, you could be finished fairly quickly.

Lots to do at Newquay Zoo!

Although comparatively small, this is reflected in the price and there is still plenty to do to make a worthwhile day out. The zoo is well landscaped throughout, with further improvements currently being carried out, making for a lovely walk if nothing else! The animals all looked healthy and were easy to see, and we were given a map, some vouchers and a timetable of the talks/shows upon entry. Considering we went out-of-season, on a very cold February morning, there were at least five feeding times/talks to go and see throughout the day, plenty of picnic benches and a cafe (although the little food stalls dotted around were closed), plus a small shop, packed full of animal-related bits and pieces. All in all, a worthwhile trip out on a budget!

zoo

if you've got kids this is a good place to take them if the weather turns. It is quite small but in school hols they put on lots of entertainment and it is generally pretty interesting.

Friendly little zoo, right next to the swimming centre and skate park for those groups with a mix of interests. You won't see the range of animals you expect at the larger zoos, but those that are there are happy and well cared for. You won't see penguins, tapirs, lions and lynx anywhere else in Cornwall!
