Important Update:

Our Energy for Life: Tropical House and walkthrough aviaries have strict measures in place in accordance with national legislation to protect our birds and prevent any future spread of Avian influenza.

  • Additional handwashing, sanitisers, foot mats and foot dips have been put in place at our walkthrough areas.  If you see these on your journey through the zoo, please use them.
  • If you keep captive birds at home, who are usually outdoors, please avoid entering our walkthrough aviaries and Energy for Life: Tropical House.

Thank you so much for your understanding. We can’t wait to see you soon!

Planning ahead

As an outdoor attraction our indoor areas are limited. Don’t forget to check the forecast before you book and make sure you dress for the weather.

If animals are not immediately visible, they could be resting in their den or under a shady tree so make time to pop back later. It will be worth the wait!

Sorry no cash

All payments are by card only and we’d really appreciate you using contactless (£100 limit) wherever you can.

Eat and drink

Café Graze, the Coffee Shop and our outdoor catering outlets are open.  Some outlets are seasonal and you will find more information here. 

Ask us

If you have any queries, our team are, as always, delighted to help. We will always treat our guests with courtesy and in return we ask you are patient and respectful of our team and other guests at all times. As a family attraction, we have a policy of zero tolerance against abusive behaviour.
