We have been there a few times. It's a nice farm zoo with a woodland open for visitors. Café food is great but avoid lunch time hours or go a bit before to make sure you have a table. During summer and in good weather there are tables outside too. Steak house is busy so better to book a table if you want to eat there.

What an incredible hidden gem in the heart of Huntingdon! Great zoo, the animals seem happy & content, and it’s good value for money! We arrived just before 10am and parking wasn’t a problem, but by the time we left, it was packed, so I would advise getting there early-ish. It’s dog friendly, the only place in the zoo they’re not allowed in is the tropical house due to it being too hot which is understandable🦩🐊🦋. We took a bowl and a bottle of water as it was a warm day, and I’d advise anyone who does take their dog, to also do this as we didn’t see any facilities where dogs could have a drink. Will definitely be returning!

Had an amazing day at Johnsons. Well worth the visit. The entry fee was very reasonable and you can buy the animal feed at the ticket desk. We went early and all the animals were out and about (worth taking some antibacterial gels/wipes if you choose to feed the animals as the sanitiser pumps that were available were empty). Lovely woodland walk as well. We ate at the Steakhouse, ordered from the 2 course set lunch menu...very reasonably priced. Will definitely be visiting again.

This is a spectacular place to take families, in fact there is something for everyone. There are lots of animals to see here now, including lions (they are in amazing condition), sloth bears, alligators (they are big), snakes, goats you can feed, peacocks, owls, deer, ostrich, & more, great facilities, incredible farm shop, restaurant with lovely food, & a Sunday carvery, this is highly recommended

Zoo entry is cheap (£5.50/adult) but on-site food is expensive and very busy on busy days (fair enough). The animals in the zoo did not have much space in each enclosure and there wasn’t much to stimulate them or many places for them to rest from people.

My partner chose this restaurant for her birthday meal and we weren't disappointed. Yes it is slightly on the pricey side - £40 fillet steak - but the sides and other dishes were pretty reasonable . That said, we both agreed it was the best steak we've ever eaten, which is saying something. Great food and great service, will definitely be returning soon.

Great day for the Easter half term. I took my sons who vary in ages from 1 - 11 years old and they all enjoyed the day out. Staff were brilliant and nothing was too much trouble. Would have been better if we could have brought tickets in advance also but we waiting up to 10mins as there is only one entrance and exit so made it slightly difficult with a pushchair with people walking into you. Site is clean and food is available when you go into the zoo area. Play park was an added bonus as we enjoyed this at the end of the day when everyone had left.

I have not been to the zoo. Excellent cake is sold in the café, and proper tea. I sometimes come here on my motorbike just for those. There is some hard standing to be found close by it. There is a large restaurant on site for very good meals at a mid range price, with good service. The farm shop sells local and homegrown products, along with excellent celebration or occasion gifts; a cookshop; excellent sausages at their Butchers. We come here for our Christmas meats. There is plenty of parking, 2 fields if needed so campervans need not worry. The zoo has alligators and.a lion I believe, and many others, I simply have not been round it yet, hence why only 4 stars. A great place for so many reasons and we'll worth a visit.

We had a great day over the Easter Half Term and considering how busy it was in the car park we managed to park with no trouble. It was busy inside but there was still plenty of room for everyone and we could still see all the animals easily and the children still played on the park without having to wait too long for turns on things. We had lunch at about 2ish and we didn't have to wait long for the food to arrive. Another fantastic day out at Johnson's ☺️☺️

Visited the zoo a few weeks ago and I was honestly disgusted by the lack of space that the animals had. There are 2 beautiful lions in a tiny pen… no stimulation in there for them. They looked so sad. The bear enclosure was also tiny and the poor thing was pacing looked very distressed. There were a number of owl enclosures which were also tiny. There’s an indoor part with crocodiles where you are walking around a platform up a height from them, there are barriers around which went up to my waist - and could very easily be climbed, no safety netting.. nothing. So a small child could very easily climb over and fall in to a pit of (far too many over crowded) crocodiles. It made me feel so anxious the entire way around and I just wanted to get my 3 year old out. If you love animals do not visit here, it left me feeling depressed leaving. Also - the farm shop kill the pigs that you go and lovingly feed 😑

Oh my days..... My other half had to roll me out after eating here.... And I only had a starter and a main!! It was very much a case of 'eyes bigger than my belly,' or in this case 'belly bigger than my eyes'.. The food was faultless, succulent and flavoursome and cooked to perfection. Looking forward to returning, to try other options from the menu. The only reason I have given 4 stars and not 5 is because, while we waited to be shown to our table, we were sat having a drink by the bar, but the seating looked out at others dining and this felt awkward... Such an amazing place to take the family.

Went with my family including grandson just before his second birthday. A very positive experience. Firstly, only £5 to get in. Not a huge collection of animals, but what there were, were good, including a pair of lions (male and female). A most amazing collection of alligators and crocodiles in a very well constructed building. A playground for the little 'uns. And one of the best farm shops I have encountered. We came away with a beef and ale pie from the butcher's section, and that turned out to be delicious. Access and parking was easy. I wholeheartedly recommend Johnson's of Old hurst, especially to families with young children.

What a gem of a place only £5 to access the zoo. Great alligator enclosure and the lions are just stunning. The bear was hiding this time but a fair few animals to see.

There is a cafe there also which does great food.. Nice little day out..

Super cheap Johnsons of Old Hurst is an absolute gem! It's a unique mix of a family-run farm, zoo, and farm shop, making it a perfect day out. The variety of animals is impressive, from crocodiles and big cats to farmyard favorites like goats and pigs. You can get really close to the animals, which makes it an amazing experience for kids and adults alike. The setting is lovely, with well-kept enclosures and a peaceful countryside feel. The farm shop and tearoom are a nust-visit-delicious homemade food and top-quality local produce. The staff are welcoming and passionate about the animals, adding to the experience. Whether you're an animal lover or just looking for a great family day out, this place is well worth a visit. Highly recommended!

Unfortunately it poured with rain as we arrived so we made a dart for the entrance where there was no wait to buy tickets. We have been previously a few years ago and so much has changed since. The tropical house has been extended and there are loads more reptiles to see. By the time we came out the rain had stopped but everything was very wet, it was nice however to have fairly clear walk ways along the animal enclosures so you don't get too muddy meaning we could still see the animals even though it was wet.

This zoological garden is perfect for a day out with kids. Plenty of parking but would recommend getting there early as the car park does fill up quickly. The entry prices are good value for money, you can't take food in however your hand will be stamped so you can go in and out of the zoo. Lots of exciting animals to see and didn't once feel too crowded at any point. I got a pasty from the farm shop and a burger from the BBQ stand, the pasty was delicious but the burger, wow oh wow, genuinely it was the best burger I have ever had, I can't recommend it enough! It's worth noting the BBQ stand can't cater for allergies. The only downside from my day out was the 1 toilet for men so had to queue for 5 mins. Overall we had an amazing day, really good value for money and lots of delicious food on offer, will definitely be going again.
