Jersey Zoo
Overview
Gerald Durrell's unique sanctuary and breeding centre for many of the world's rarest animals. Visitors can see these remarkable creatures, some so rare that they can only be found here, in modern, spacious enclosures in the gardens of the 16th-century manor house. Major attractions are the magical Aye-Ayes from Madagascar and the world-famous family of Lowland gorillas. There is a comprehensive programme of keeper talks, animal displays and activities.

About the area
Jersey is the largest of the Channels Islands, but at 45. 5 square miles (118 sq km) it’s still only about a third of the size of the Isle of Wight.
