点评:Jersey Zoo feels like a rare find, a conservation space that prioritises quiet connection over performance, and encourages you to slow down and really observe.
As a team working in educational publishing, we spend a lot of time thinking about how children learn best, through stillness, observation, curiosity, and care. And in many ways, this place reflects that back at you.
We spent time watching an orangutan by the water’s edge. At first glance, it seemed like stillness - until he reached in and drew out a sack filled with food, placed there with thought and purpose. That quiet moment captured something essential: the idea that learning doesn’t always announce itself. Sometimes it waits.
The enclosures are beautifully designed, spacious, calm, and clearly built with the animals’ needs at the centre. Nothing here feels over-sensationalised. It’s thoughtful conservation in action.
An inspiring visit, both personally and professionally. Highly recommended for families, educators, and anyone who believes learning begins with looking.

我们团队从事教育出版工作,一直思考如何才能让孩子更好地学习——通过静谧、观察、好奇和关爱。而泽西动物园在很多方面都体现了这一点。
我们花了一些时间观察一只在水边活动的猩猩。乍一看,它似乎很安静——直到它伸手从水里掏出一个装满食物的袋子,显然是经过深思熟虑后放在那里的。那静谧的瞬间捕捉到了一个重要的信息:学习并非总是主动发起,有时它会悄然发生。
动物园的圈舍设计精美,宽敞宁静,处处体现着对动物需求的关注。这里的一切都恰到好处,没有丝毫夸张渲染。这才是真正用心的保护。
这是一次令人受益匪浅的参观,无论对个人还是职业发展都大有裨益。强烈推荐给家庭、教育工作者以及所有相信“学习始于观察”的人。
