"Five Sisters Zoo is run by Brian & Shirley Curran, with the help of some of their family & a very dedicated team of office staff, zoo keepers, ground workers, ticket desk, soft play and cafe staff. We also hugely appreciate all the help we get from our large team of volunteers, some of whom have been with us for many, many years. As a non-profit making organisation, any money is injected back into the zoo to help with the animals upkeep, veterinary bills and enclosure maintenance. Five Sisters Zoo was officially established in 2005 with just a small collection of rabbits, guinea pigs, goats and pigs. Since then the zoo has grown into an exciting collection of over 160 different species of mammals, birds and reptiles."

Haven’t been here for about 4 years & I can’t believe how much bigger it has become! We went on Easter Monday weather was nice & dry so the perfect day for a walk round the zoo! Loved to see the new cheetah’s such beautiful animals! Did not manage to see the snow or the clouded leopards so will have to go back for another visit! We also went for lunch in the leaping lemurs cafe which was tasty & didn’t take a long time from ordering until you got your food! Overall a great day out for any age

Had an amazing time at the zoo, with a great variety of animals to see. Not too busy so lots of opportunity to spend time with all my favourites. A good variety of catering options, lots of toilets, and plenty to see. We had a lemur experience, and it was so much fun and our keeper Steve was clearly passionate about the animals and gave lots of knowledge about the Lemurs. I would love to do more experiences here - I hope they introduce more in the Peak season!

Amazing place , we have visited this zoo at multiple occasions,and kids are always excited every time. Big collection of unique animals , with our Favourite lemurs and red panda . Reptali lovers will find a lot of them as well big and small. Restaurant on site sell fries  hot dogs ,and soft drinks ....ice  creams as well of course. Souvenirs shop allow your kids to gram some animals gadgets on the go. Great place highly recommend.

First time visiting the zoo and had to say its an absolute gem. Fantastic staff that were so friendly everywhere we went from the 2 young ladies in the restaurant to the lady we met while doing the lemur feeding experience. All super nice. The range of animals was unexpectedly large and was very impressed with how large animal enclosures were. We are real animal and zoo lovers and we both said we really enjoyed five sisters so much and on return to the area we would rather return here than Edinburgh zoo. Loved it.

I went mainly to see the wildcats and the other big cats. But I found all the animals really interesting. I would advise arriving as early as possible in the day as it meant the animals were still awake after just being fed.  There is a lot of walking involved in seeing all the animals but in general the surface is smooth and it is wide enough to pass other visitors.  A lot of the animals have been rescued from other zoos and circuses, and there is plenty of information about how they were brought to the zoo and  then given the chance to be themselves in plenty of space.  It is a bit weird that the Xmas decorations are still up but it doesn't really matter as you are there to see the animals.  I didn't go to the cafe I think its outside of the actual zoo but I did buy myself a slice of pizza and a can of bru - it wasn't a bad price for an attraction. There was plenty of space to bring a picnic, I didn't see a water bottle refill spot but there may have been one in the cafe.  There is plenty of parking at the zoo. I relied on my phone and google maps to find the place, I did not see any signs for the zoo on my drive there - google maps did bring me to the entrance of the zoo.  I will definitely go back to the zoo, though I will probably wait until the cheetah enclosure is finished.

We always love this place when we go. From the tribute to the animals who sadly lost their life in the fire to all the new arrivals. There’s something for everyone. We took advantage of the lemur experience and it it’s definitely worth it. £10 allows you to sit in with the lemurs whilst they take food out of bowls that are in your hand. They are extremely gentle and such beautiful creatures.  The zoo never disappoints and we always look forward to going back.

Absolutely wonderful zoo. I've always loved coming here especially as a photographer. The animals are always so well looked after and have plenty of enrichment and space in their enclosures and the staff are always so helpful and friendly! I couldn't ask for a better zoo to visit!Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo wait

Fantastic day out, spent about 5hrs there. Friendly staff, well maintained and a lot to do and see. We took a picnic with us, lots more picnic tables now and loads of benches around the whole zoo if you need to have a rest or just to sit and chill.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYes

Such a great place! Animals all looked happy and healthy, lots of animals and birds to see. We loved the red panda and the bears, but the otters and meerkats and parrots were entertaining too! Would definitely go back.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYes

Cracking zoo with a huge variety of animals. Most are rescued animals. It is a big venue and the enclosures look to be well suited towards the welfare of the animal too. The staff are friendly. We fed the ringtailed lemurs which cost an additional £10 each. They are very funny and social creatures and was worth the visit just for that experience alone. I would visit again in the future and would recommend this zoo over Edinburgh Zoo when the option is available.
