Had a great day here! Lots of parking, all buggy proof, very kid friendly. All of the animal exhibits have QR codes, so you can learn about them, watch them being fed etc without having to wait around for a "talk time". There's lots of play areas and places to eat. staff are very friendly and there's also toilets at all the different parts of the zoo. Will definitely go again as it's amazing value for the price you pay. Enjoyed more than Chester zoo.
We went to Ponderosa in July 2021 and again today. Both times we absolutely loved it. Its only small so we got around all of the animals in about an hour. There are 2 playgrounds and some big bouncy pillows and a cafe. Its always clean and there's a good variety of small animals. Our daughter got the chance to handle a giant snail and a stick insect! She also loved the lemur walk where she could get up close to the lemurs.
Ponderosa is a super little zoo. Lots to see and playgrounds for children. As we visited during the winter months the cafe was not open but the restaurant was serving a variety of tasty snacks and warm drinks. All the staff were friendly and helpful. The keepers, restaurant staff and the lovely lady in the gift shop.
Came here this morning and completed the otter encounters experience with keeper Ryan. It was incredible value for money and well worth the visit! Ryan was extremely helpful and knowledgeable about not only the otters but all the animals within this small zoo. The zoo itself has great facilities, plenty of gender neutral toilets and is very accessible. It has ramps for disabled access, plenty of small park/playground areas for children and a small cafe which serve various hot/cold drinks, food and ice cream which are all reasonably priced. Staff throughout were really polite and pleasant to speak too. The zoo is worth lapping a couple of times as some animals are out at alternating times within their enclosures, this way you don't miss out on seeing any! This zoo isn't just great for children but there plenty of opportunities for the armature photographer too
Loved it although we went quite early and a lot of the animals were asleep still but they had perked up later on. Kid friendly with lots of places to play or sit down if needed. The cafe was nice and the gifts were well pricedVisited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYes

Office staff are more polite towards visitors.Great value for money.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYes
Absolutely beautiful little zoo, well worth a visit. Each enclosure was well maintained and all animals were visable. You could see all animals up close, even though they were enclosed and staff were amazing, friendly and helpful. We didn't know but on the day we visited, StarWars characters were roaming the park which was brilliant and really fun for the children and adults!! You get your own little map of the park upon entry which is nice and colourful and easy to use to navigate your way around. Plenty to do for children, climbing parks and even a little sanded area which was labelled 'The beach'. Plenty of places to sit and stop to admire your surroundings or to have a little bit of food and plenty to choose from if you decide to get food there also. Plenty of toilet facilities that were clean and available at each point of the visit. We really enjoyed the Lemur Lookout, which gives you the opportunity to walk around a short little enclosure, getting very close to the lemurs. The staff in this enclosure were extremely helpful, friendly and were both happy to answer any questions and chat about the animals too. The park was wheelchair/pram friendly and had toilet and changing facilities for disabled and babies too. Perfect place to visit for a short trip out, or for a full day out depending on how long you wanted to stay for. 10/10, would highly recommend.
Really lovely small Zoo, easy to get around, loads of spaces for children to play. They have a unique experience of walking around the inside of a Lemur enclosure where they come up to you. On site toilet and cafe facilities are great and there is a lakeside restaurant. If you miss anything due to it sleeping or not around then it's easy to do the loop again and catch them. A definite must visit if in the area.
My son had a great time doing the meerkat experience as did I! He loved the new air pillows too, as well as seeing all the animals. There were Star Wars characters and music too for the jubilee weekend. An excellent visit
Great place and only 20 minutes from my house. I'd never heard of the place before,all the animals look happy and well fed unlike a lot of other place's like this. Theres plenty climbing frames,slides and a zip wire for kids. Theres a few different places for food but only 1 was open today no doubt the other's are open during the summer.
