    Bus

    From St. Ouen, head to the nearest bus stop. Look for the 'Liberation Station' bus terminal. Take the bus number 15 or 22 towards St. Helier. After about 20 minutes, disembark at the 'Jersey Zoo' stop. From there, follow the signs that lead directly to the entrance of Jersey Zoo, which is just a short walk away.
