• "And for £4.50 per person, it was nice to walk around for 30 mins."

• "Hanwell Zoo has a collection of animals with a particular focus on birds. The flamingos are stunning as are the collection of peacocks."

Cons:

• "However, the only disappointing aspect of our visit was the size of the zoo. It felt rather small, and we found ourselves moving through the exhibits quite quickly."
• "The main downside was some of the enclosures plastic screen is rather scratched, so not always good visibility for little people."
• "Some parts are run down and broken, and it just needs a general uplift."
• "The animals look depressed, there is overgrown shrubs so visibility of the animals is poor, double netting everywhere & just really dirty."
