Within a hot interior this houses a number of birds, forest floor and aquatic creatures. You need to spend a little time searching for them but it's great to see creatures in a more natural habitat than the more conventional enclosures. There is also an alligator monitor lizard which is a rather fearsome, if shy, creature. Worth taking the diversion within the zoo. Some exhibits not working properly due to Covid hence 4 star.
Marwell zoo is a great place for all the family. There are lots of different animals to see. The tropical house is superb, the highlight being the sloth. Its great fun trying to find her amongst the trees. There are a variety of birds, fish, frogs and also pygmy marmosets in the tropical house. Season dependent, there are also lots of butterflies. As you leave the tropical house, by the exit there is a wonderful crocodile monitor who can usually be seen by the waters edge. An added bonus is how warm it is in there, a perfect escape from the cold weather in the winter. Outside the exit there is a place to refill your water bottle and plenty of places to sit down. The tropical house is always a highlight of our visits to Marwell.
What an amazing day out for the whole family. There is plenty to see and do, the animals all look very healthy and the enclosures are looked after nicely.
We packed a picnic and were spoilt for choice when trying to decide which picnic area to sit at.
The staff are very friendly too.
My little girls had such a good day they were fast as sleep before we even got back to the car, result!
We will definitely be back.
Took my niece on her 2nd birthday! It's enough of a zoo to keep a 2 year old happy the entire time round. The staff were super friendly. There were a lot of empty enclosures which was disappointing, but like I said the little one was happy!
Fantastic place. Given the current Covid situation, we felt very safe and enjoyed the visit. The zoo had put in place measures to keep visitors apart but was still able to see all animals.
