JOHNSONS OF OLD HURST | JOHNSONS ZOO - Huntingdon

Monika Mizeraite

Really nice place for kids and adults. We went on Sunday and got there about 10:30 am. Staff is very friendly and informative - we've been told a baby goat was born a day before and my 9 year old was literally jumping with excitement. A good sized box of deer/goat/ donkey/ rabbit food costs £2 only and it's really worth getting as kids really enjoy feeding animals.Terrarium is amazing and helped us to keep warm when we felt too cold? We had lots of fun and spent there longer than intended ? It's rather quiet in the morning and gets super busy at around 12 -2pm so if you have SEND children plan accordingly.
From the adult point of view: 1) layers of clothing and sturdy footwear in autumn and winter ( wellingtons and waterproofs highly recommended). 2) If you arrive early on chilly days be aware that some animals won't be getting out till it will get bit warmer ( I can't blame them ?). So have patience and try to revisit enclosure where you didn't see an animal. 3) if you plan to have dinner in the Cafe check the menu beforehand as not everyone counts sandwich as food. No offense but that wasn't my cup of tea. Hot drinks are available of course and farm shop is amazing.4) if you bring your pet dog with you beware that lions most likely will try to hunt them - dogs don't find it funny at all and may get distressed. 5) playground is sturdy and suitable for multiple ages just in muddy days be ready for muddy clothes ( reference to the waterproof clothing).6) the deer enclosure isn't accessible from inside the park. Easier to get a glimpse from the car park end. However they're not interested in humans at all and keep deep inside. There's a young deer in the goat enclosure where kids can feed it the special food purchased at the entrance.
We will be back definately - with wellington boots of course. I'm thinking spring time when most of animals have their little ones.

This is an excellent attraction. Great value for money. Our two children loved the animals and playground and the tea room was an excellent choice for lunch. Glad that we arrived early in the day though as when we left just after lunchtime, it was getting very busy indeed!

What a lovely little zoo and park, especially for younger kids. Lots of animals from bunnies to crocodiles. Food here is a bit expensive but I'm sure a good quality though there is a stall with hotdogs and burgers for a good price. Could do with better sign to show where it is off the road as nearly passed it. Highly recommend here if you have little ones up to about 13/14 years old.

Wonderful find! We’ve lived with 20 minutes if this place for years but never heard of it. It’s a really good little wildlife park, and the croc house is a real highlight. Kids also really enjoyed the bears who were very active. We had lunch in the steakhouse and the food was all really great, better than some of the other branded steakhouses.

Lovely place for a family with smaller kids, with lots of space to run and play. The crocs are great it's what my teenagers wanted to see. Food in the restaurant was great.

Fancied a steak for lunch so popped back over for a visit, have added some lions since the last time we went and a few other bits

Great day out for the family. Enjoyed the bbq and the shop, the puma and the bears remained illusive for us. The tropical area was impressive.

This is a great place to visit and very reasonably priced. A nice selection of animals. We’d definitely come back.

Super cool place for families, although it isn't huge. We did the whole place in about 4 hours.

If there were more play equipment, the children would have wanted to stay longer.

Also, only food purchased there can be consumed on site. I have no problem with that, but just make sure you don't spend a fortune on a picnic and expect to eat it inside.
