Belfast Zoo

A large zoo with around 50 different species of animal - not including the various species of birds within the bird enclosure! There is a small gift shop and a couple of shops/restaurants within the Zoo. It has a few steep inclines as it's built on a hill but otherwise an easy walk around . A great day out for the family!

Beautiful area for a zoo. I felt that the animals could have a bit more space in their enclosures. But it's well kept and nicely done. It's a bit of a hike, though as the zoo is laid out on the hillside.

We had an excellent family day out here over the summer. Young and old alike had a lovely time. We were able to see most of the animals, the park was super, picnic areas were lovely. Hills weren't great with a pram but it didn't spoil our fun

The zoo is always a fun day out for all the family and Belfast Zoo is no exception. There are lots of animals to see and areas to explore. The place is also dotted with lovely wooden animal sculptures.

Belfast Zoo is quite hilly so sensible footwear is essential and if you're pushing a Oran be prepared for quite a workout! The toilet facilities are clean although a bit old and in some areas it's difficult for children to see over the barriers; this is quite frustrating at times and I'd love to see them reduced in height a little.

Despite all of this, the zoo has lots going for it and the well-designed playpark is a firm favourite with my children and is suitable for young children up to young teens.

The sloth inside the rain forest area was a lovely surprise and seeing the tigers being fed was well worth our visit. Being close enough to a male lion to both see and hear him lap water out of his pond was amazing and the general variety of animals was wonderful. We had a picnic in one of the many picnic areas also visited the cafe at the top of the zoo to enjoy the amazing view across Belfast and a fresh cup of tea whilst the children had ice creams.

A great, fun-filled family day out.

Great day out. Well worth a visit. Lots of animals out side but could not see the tigers, also the hedges around the lion's could do with being cut away completely so u can see them. Toilets very clean,cafe at the top was a bit expensive but good. It's a great zoo with stunning views.

Amazing place ive never been to a zoo were you can be so close to the animals before my 2 year old was amazed when a small chimp was right in front of her behind glass playing hidey boo with her it made my day i will definatly be visiting again next time i visit belfast x

Belfast has got one of the best zoo that I have seen, every corner you turn there is something to see. Be prepared because this is definitely a all day thing, highly recommended

Not bad seen most of the animals but catering facilities are a let down and robbery, especially at the treetop tearoom. Walk all the way up expecting to get some lunch at the top only to be told sorry very little left and it's only 2.30pm. Then have to settle for over priced coffee.

Had a brilliant day. £32 for a family of 5. Spent about 4 hours and kids had a great time!
