Fodor's Expert Review Bristol Zoo Gardens
Editor's Note: This location is reported to be under new ownership and therefore this review may contain inaccuracies.
Alongside the leafy expanse of Clifton Down is one of the country's most famous zoos, with more than 400 animal species living in 12 acres of gardens. The Seal and Penguin coasts, with underwater viewing, are rival attractions for Gorilla Island, Bug World, and Twilight World. Take Bus 8 from Temple Meads Station or the city center.
Online tickets bought at least a day in advance are cheaper than tickets bought at the gate. In addition, travelers to the zoo by bus or cycle can download a voucher from the website and present it with their bus ticket or bike helmet at the gate for a 33% discounted entry.
