Paignton Zoo

Great day out – Excellent – What a fantastic zoo, loads of animals to see and in such beautiful surroundings, great to see improvements being made and the new owners investing.(areas of work were highlighted on entry and I have no problem with this so ignore the usual whingers comments about this and the fact that they have to walk up gradients around the site)
Good facilities and friendly staff who were all approachable.
Always visits when down in Devon and it never disappoints.
Easily spend a whole day in the zoo so good value for money.

THE FUTURE LOOKS GOOOD!!! –

Absolutely blown away by how much Paignton Zoo has changed!

You can really see the investment that’s gone into the place. The new habitats are a massive improvement, looking far more natural, spacious and engaging for the animals while making the whole experience so much better for visitors too.

It genuinely feels like a zoo with a clear vision for the future rather than somewhere that’s simply maintaining what it already had. Every visit seems to bring something new, and it’s fantastic to see such positive changes happening.

If you haven’t been in a while, it’s definitely worth another visit. Massive credit to everyone involved. It’s becoming a place Devon can be really proud of.

Good place to visit for the day! –Lovely place to go for the day! We spent the whole day here and even took part in a giraffe feeding experience which we absolutely adored. The keeper was very informative and friendly and answered all of our questions and taught us a lot of facts! A lot to see and do! There is a map which is given at the start which shows the steep paths which can be avoided but if you do them in the way of the arrow direction on the map, it isn’t too bad! Would return in the future.
