How you can help
The natural world needs our help...and we need yours! Please consider making a donation to support our conservation, education and research work, both within our parks and across the world.
Children's Play Areas
There are several play areas around the Zoo, designed to allow children to have fun in a safe environment!
The first one is the ark, incorporating a rope bridge, slide and stepping stones. At the top of the hill is a large play area suitable for children of all ages and there is also a colourful activity climbing frame right in front of the penguins on the Penguin Lawn.
The Jungle Food Court also has an indoor soft play area for younger children, £2 for 30minutes.
The whole of the Zoo offers plenty of opportunities for children to play, but please ensure that your children are supervised at all times.
