Marwell Wildlife - Winchester

Fantastic day out. All the staff were really friendly, especially Elenor. The animals look so happy and relaxed. We stayed all day, it was great!

What happened to Marwell? Used visit all the time but it was become unkept lots of empty run down exhibits.. what happened to all the animals half the cages seemed empty and where did the Farm petting Zoo go??

Disappointing trip. Took my daughter for her 9th birthday having been many times before. Penguins were closed, reptile house still closed, many empty exhibits. Didn't see red pandas, sloth, leopards and many more. I accept that zoo's can't make animals be out, but you do expect to see animals at a zoo. Really expensive for what we saw. Saving grace were the rhinos, tiger and giraffes. On the day we went our children saw kids with face painting and posters for events at the hall. Got to the hall and realised it was a private event for John Lewis partnership day, explains why it was so busy. So more disappointment for the children. The train is also chargeable so ruled that out. I've been to Marwell many times and this was a disappointing trip and I don't think we'll be back any time soon.

I was extremely disappointed with my experience at this restaurant. The lighting displays were haphazard and some were even of lower quality than what I've seen in my neighbors' gardens. Despite signs warning against using flashlights on the trail, certain areas were dangerously dark. There was no ambiance at all, no background music to enhance the experience or to consider the animals. I had attended the Glow event at Wisley gardens the previous year for the same price, and it was a stunning experience in comparison. It was a complete waste of money, and we left within 45 minutes. When I shared my feedback with the Customer Relations team, I received a very disinterested response after two messages. I would recommend avoiding this place and going to Wisley instead.

My family and I took our grandchildren (6, 4, and 2) to Marwell Zoo and were extremely disappointed. The animal habitats were not well-kept, making it difficult to view the animals that were supposed to be on display. The only animals we really saw were the Lego dinosaurs scattered throughout the zoo. Overall, it was underwhelming and I have no desire to visit again.
