The zoo is a registered conservation charity and you can help support their mission by getting involved. There are daily talks, hands-on experiences and regular animal arrivals; take a lazy boat trip, hitch a monorail ride or scamper along the skipping lane!
Except in the unlikely event of a total closure of the Zoo where clause 4.11 applies we are unable to refund any tickets in the event of adverse weather conditions or any other unforeseeable events which are beyond our reasonable control in accordance with clause 25 (Events Outside Our Control).
All visitors will need an advance booking to get in to the zoo whilst we have social distancing measures in place (this includes our members and those with prepaid open dated tickets). Please don't visit the zoo without a booking confirmation as we won't be able to let you in.

For the health and safety of other guests and animals please follow these posted guidelines to help promote proper distance. All Zoo staff are required to wear masks. If a guest feels sick before their reservation, we ask that they not visit the Zoo.
Unless the government guidelines change, whether or not you have to wear a face mask will vary from zoo to zoo. A spokesperson for the British & Irish Association of Zoos & Aquariums (BIAZA) told Fabulous Digital that asking guests to wear face masks "is up to the discretion of the zoo where they deem it appropriate."
