East London Zoo

4 stacey-lee brown - a year ago

1.Definitely enclosure improvements
2.Animals are in good condition
3. Unfortunately not many animals to see but the main ones are there.
4. Children's play area is well maintained
5. Unfortunately the train was not active nor were the boat rides

Although there were some let downs, it's a great place to spend the day. Take a picnic basket and a blanket and enjoy lunch while the kids play.

The zoo was clean but needs more maintenance, but animals that are left seem healthy and well feed. There are a lot of empty cages that are just overgrown and left empty, which makes it look worse.

The WORST experience we had, a lot of the cages are empty. The ponds are dirty with green water. Many of the animals or caged alone with no other animals of the same species.
The animals have no energy for people. There are no boards or signs to guide the tourists.
It is in its worst appearance. A definite waste of our time and money

Sad state of maintenance. I went for nostalgia and childhood dreams. The zoo is possibly on its last legs, unless urgent interventions happen to preserve and maintain the infrastructure.

⚠️ Came back with multiple bug bites, some with severe side effects (take bug spray or Tabard especially if you're with kids)

Loved the zoo but quite a few of the animal shelters were empty ????. I'd definitely go back though.

Its a thrilling experience for kids and anybody who's never seen some wild animals in person. However, some animals are none existent currently (maybe will come back in future not sure, the zoo also seem to be under some works currently

Inside there is a kiosk for a couple of snacks at an affordable price. They also have a private vanue you could hire out for a personal event.

What an absolutely shocking and disgraceful place. Took my daughter and nephews and it was horid. The grass hasn't been cut, the place is filthy, broken empty cages overgrown with weeds. Absolute disgrace don't waste your money. I feel so sorry for the poor animals (those that are left). You should be shut down.
