Jersey Tourist Attractions and Jersey Sightseeing
(Jersey, Channel Islands, British Isles)



Apart from the enormous selection of beaches around Jersey, the islands is home to a wealth of popular tourist attractions, many of which remain open all through the year, such as the Cineworld cinema multiplex, AquaSplash, Jersey Bowl and Reg's Garden, an interesting back garden open to the public in aid of charity. However, one tourist attraction stands high above the others, the Durrell Wildlife Park.

Also known as Jersey Zoo or simply Durrell, the wildlife park is brimming with interest and plays an important part of world conservation, being responsible from saving a number of species from the very brink of extinction and filled with animal attractions. During the summer season, tourists will also enjoy a sightseeing trip on the Road Train (Le Petit Train, which departs from Liberation Square at St. Helier) or with the Island Duck Tours. Also consider a visit to the scenic Lavender Farm, wine tasting at the La Mare Wine Estate, or a round of miniature golf at Jersey's ever-popular Living Legend.
