The Lincoln Zoo is a fantastic place for a family day out. The zoo is beautifully laid out, easy to navigate, and has excellent facilities throughout. The toilets were clean and well maintained, and we noticed good wheelchair and pushchair access across the grounds, which makes it very family-friendly. Parking was straightforward and close by, which is always a big plus. The enclosures are thoughtfully designed, giving the animals plenty of space while still allowing visitors a great view. Highlights for us were the butterfly house, which felt magical, and the reptile area, which was fascinating and well presented. The different shows and talks throughout the day were engaging and really added to the experience, helping us learn more about the animals. The café had a good selection of food and drinks at reasonable prices, with plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors. Overall, the zoo felt very welcoming, well cared for, and perfect for families of all ages. We’ll definitely be visiting again soon!

Brilliant family day out — worth every penny (almost!) We had an amazing time at Lincoln Zoo — it’s such a well-kept, friendly, and genuinely impressive place. The animals all look healthy and well cared for, the enclosures are spacious, and you can tell the staff really love what they do. The whole park feels clean, well laid out, and easy to get around even with little ones in tow. The highlights for us were definitely the big cats, the walk-through aviary, and Lemur Falls — which is absolutely brilliant (when it’s open!). Our only tiny gripe is that Lemur Falls is only open for half an hour twice a day. For the entry price — about £100 for a family of four — it’d be great if that section was open a bit longer, as it’s such a fun feature. That aside, it’s a full-day experience and genuinely good value once you’re in. Loads of places to sit, decent food options, and plenty for kids to do between animal areas. We’ll definitely be back — it’s become one of our new favourite family days out! 🦁🐧🦓

A Lovely Day at Lincoln Zoo We had a thoroughly enjoyable family trip to Lincoln Zoo today. The variety of animals was impressive, and the talks were both engaging and informative. Staff members were friendly and took the time to answer the many questions from visitors, which added a personal touch to the experience. There were a few areas that could be improved. Some paths—particularly near the bears, wolves, and goats—were not easily accessible for wheelchairs or electric wheelchairs. Additionally, a few enclosures could have been cleaner, such as the water areas for the otters and penguins, and the tanks near the crocodiles. The café staff seemed quite slow and lacked a sense of urgency, which led to a long queue forming. lastly the gift shop was ridiculously expensive! Despite these minor issues, we had a lovely day overall. Feeding the goats was a definite highlight and brought lots of smiles. Thank you for a memorable visit!

Not as big as the wildlife park, very friendly staff, all on flat ground so good for mobility issues except one viewing platform. Cafè is nice with a decent selection on the menus. As with all places like this, food is a tad expensive but for a treat its good. We saw most of the animals, didn't see the bear or otters tho. Easy to buy tickets on line too.

Nice place, big enclosures. Could do with a map or guidebook showing you where every animal is and talk times. When we got home we realised some of the animals we hadn't seen. Nice cafe too offering toasties, sandwiches and cakes among other things.

Absolutely lovely zoo. Extremely well maintained. Friendly staff. Our favourite was Lemur falls. We managed to stand with them twice (11:30 till 12.00 and 13:30 till 14:00). They have a variety of talks throughout the day and do animal experiences for an extra cost. The cafe was also amazing. Daughter had the best cheese toastie she has ever had and I enjoyed my tuna baked potato. Such a lovely escape. Thank you Lincoln Zoo, keep up the good work!

Well kept zoo and nice. Little bit expensive for the amount of time you can spend there. We walked round twice and stopped for a cake and coffee. We spent a total of around 2.5 hours there. Little one played in the park but because it was a hot day the slides were very hot (metal) and there was no shade for him. Toilets were clean, The whole zoo was clean , a part from the poo ( maybe dog ?) in the butterfly house. For the price of 3 of us to come to zoo, I personally wouldn't be returning. (We paid on the gate, as booking for tickets was closed at 10am , when we tried at 10.15am, we rang the zoo and the lady said you cant book tickets for the same day once they are open, but can show up)
