The zoo sits on Maldon Road in Heckfordbridge, just outside Colchester. If you’re driving, it’s a straight shot from the A12. There’s a massive car park, so you don’t have to play the “find-a-space” lottery that ruins every other day out.

Inside, you’ve got kid-friendly cafes (with proper changing facilities, thank goodness) and plenty of benches. You can bring a picnic if you’re feeling thrifty, which is a lifesaver when you’re feeding a family of four on a budget.

Oh, and the weather? Don’t worry too much. There are plenty of indoor exhibits, including the Rainbow Lorikeet walk-through and the Butterfly Glade. A bit of drizzle won’t ruin your day—it might even make the animals more active.

Little things that make you smile

You know those moments that just make you laugh? Like watching a seal lion clap its flippers as if it’s auditioning for a talent show. Or seeing a capuchin monkey stare at you like you’re the one on display. The zoo is full of those little surprises.

They also have a train that chugs around the park. It’s not fancy, but for kids under five, it’s basically the equivalent of a theme park rollercoaster. Expect double the excitement if it comes with a whistle.

And if you’re a parent who’s exhausted by 2 PM? There’s a play area with slides and climbing frames. Let the kids burn off the sugar from their lunch while you collapse on a bench and pretend to check emails.
