Nice Zoo and very goof value if you get the year pass :-) Best always on a sunny day and always worth bringing a picnic. The price is in-line with other Zoo's but a years pass is a very good idea as its only a small amount more. Parking can be busy and you have to pay :-(

Love it ... We visit here nearly every time we go to Blackpool which is on a yearly basis and always find something new each time. You can get extremely close to some of the animals and can be quite exhilarating at times, the lions are great when they're active as you really get to see how huge these beasts... More

I have been to this zoo on a few occassions and have always enjoyed. My fave bit is the lion enclosure. This is outdoors with a lot of glass, there is a walk in part that sort of allows you to go further into the enclosure....me & two lions were virtually face to face, a helicopter flew overhead and for...

It was the first time we had been to Blackpool Zoo and visited recently on our daughters 4th birthday. The zoo itself isn't as large as some of the others, such as Chester Zoo, but it has the advantage of being a little quieter and allowing you closer and easier access to the animals. The feeding and animal shows are... More

This is a great zoo, compact but full of fabulous animals kept in great conditions. Informative and entertaining staff. Good value especially for a season pass. Good food and snack offer great modern facilities for babies groups etc.

We have been going to this Zoo every time we visit Blackpool. The variety of animals are second to none. Entry is very organised and efficient, disability access great. There are plenty of talks on the animals, The Bird, Seal and Penguin shows are great, you need to get there early to get a seat. My only gripe is the... More
