Founded by the wildlife expert, Gerald Durrell, the Jersey Zoo's aims are to help rescue endangered species from around the world by getting together breeding pairs in a stationary "Noah's Ark".  Many pioneering techniques have been developed here and over 30 animals have been saved and reintroduced back into their natural habitats.

To support this work you can become a member, visit, adopt an animal as well as have your children's birthday parties here.  And when they are a bit older you can also be a "zoo keeper for the day".  Open daily, except Christmas Day.  Check website for seasonal opening times.

We strongly recommend you ring Jersey Zoo before you set off on your family day out, to make sure they are open and to confirm admission prices. It may also be worth visiting the website for Jersey Zoo to see if there are any special events on the day for which you may have to book a ticket. Please also be aware that if Jersey Zoo hosts birthday parties, this may limit the access in the cafe/restaurant areas.
