“One day I’ll be as big as you dad”💕💕💕😍. Our red kangaroo Joey is growing fast and spending more time out of the pouch. We’re not sure but this might be his first meeting with his dad.

🥰VIP ANIMAL EXPERIENCE ON A NORMALLY CLOSED DAY😌
If you enjoy an experience which is a bit more special and in a quiet and relaxed atmosphere, this one will be for you. We still have a couple of places left on our VIP animal experience day next Tuesday 30th September 25, first come first served. This is a day we are not scheduled to be open so you will have the zoo almost to yourself 😃. Have a look at our website for the full experience details. https://lintonzoo.com/animal-experiences.
You will have a chance to get up close and hand feed a couple of our amazing animals (see the choices listed). There is also the option to add on a big cat feed, where you really will be as close as a whisker!
If you are interested please email the office [email protected]

🌞😊We’ve had a fabulous few weeks with the summer holidays, we’d like to take this opportunity to thank all of you who have supported us by visiting. It’s been lovely to see many familiar faces and lots of new visitors too. Nice also to see many of you upgrading your day ticket to an annual pass. We are now open at weekends and there are some tickets on for a few weekdays.
Here are a some pictures from the last few weeks.
After the much needed rain of the last few days, the weekend is set to be warm and sunny, perfect for a zoo trip.
Whatever you do, have a great weekend from all of the team!😊😊
