Jersey Zoo

Discover Jersey Zoo and the Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust

Nestled in 32 acres of lush, beautifully landscaped parkland, Jersey Zoo is a must-visit destination for animal lovers and conservation enthusiasts alike. Founded in 1959 by author and naturalist Gerald Durrell, the zoo is home to over 100 species of animals, many of which are critically endangered in the wild. The zoo’s mission goes far beyond showcasing animals; it is the heartbeat of the Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust, a global charity dedicated to saving species from extinction.

Jersey Zoo offers a unique opportunity to see rare and endangered animals up close, while also learning about the vital conservation work being done to protect them. The zoo's stunning grounds are complemented by excellent facilities, including two cafés where you can relax, and the 5-star Durrell Wildlife Camp offering glamping experiences for a truly immersive stay. For those seeking a more communal experience, there’s also a hostel and the Durrell Conservation Academy, where visitors can engage in hands-on learning about wildlife conservation.

Whether you’re exploring the zoo’s diverse animal exhibits, enjoying the tranquil surroundings, or staying overnight to experience the magic of the zoo, Jersey Zoo offers an unforgettable experience that connects visitors to the world of wildlife conservation.
