Jersey Zoo, zoological park in Jersey, Channel Islands
Jersey Zoo is an animal facility in Trinity that houses various species from around the world in designed habitats. The grounds include different enclosures, outdoor spaces, and visitor areas where people can observe and learn about the animals on display.
The facility was established to care for animals and support conservation efforts while providing educational opportunities for visitors. Over the years it has developed into a center focused on wildlife protection and research programs.
The zoo serves as a center for environmental awareness in the community, where visitors can observe animals from different regions and learn about their conservation. The setting encourages direct engagement with wildlife and raises understanding about why these species matter.
The zoo is easily accessible on foot with well-maintained paths connecting different sections of the grounds. Wear weather-appropriate clothing as much of the site is outdoors and Jersey's weather can change quickly throughout the day.
The facility runs significant breeding programs for endangered species and collaborates with international conservation organizations. This behind-the-scenes work is often invisible to visitors but makes a real difference in protecting animals at risk worldwide.

Jersey features a history that spans from the Neolithic period to World War II. On this Channel Island, visitors can explore Mont Orgueil Castle, a 13th-century fortress overlooking Gorey, and Elizabeth Castle, a 16th-century fort accessible by a causeway covered at high tide. The War Tunnels, a one-kilometer underground network built between 1940 and 1945, illustrate the period of German occupation. La Hougue Bie hosts a 6,000-year-old burial site topped with two medieval chapels. The island also offers natural areas such as Saint-Brelade Beach, maritime collections at the Jersey Museum, and local products available at La Mare Wine Estate or the Anglo-Normandian Islands Distillery. The Jersey Zoo, established in 1959, is dedicated to protecting endangered species over 13 hectares. These sites help understand the island's history, from its earliest inhabitants to maritime activities that have shaped Jersey up to the present.
