✨️ Limited Spaces Remaining ✨️

Know a 12-16yr old who dreams of becoming a zookeeper? Or is simply not too sure what direction they are looking to take their career in? Then this course is for them!

Suitable for those aged 12-16.
Dates: 2-4pm on Saturdays 6th, 13th, 20th, 27th Sept and 4th, 11th Oct.
Price: £175 per person

We are privileged to be the last non-motorway stop as part of the Dave's Day Motorbike ride out again today, raising crucial money for cancer charities.

Please be aware, if you are visiting the zoo today there will be large numbers of bikes throughout the day leading up to the rideout. So please take care around the car park and listen to the directions of our Marshalls. Timings are subject to change based on the progress of the main ride from London. However, they are estimated to leave here around 1.45pm

What better way to start your day than with a big yawn, stretch, and a good clean of your whiskers!

Have you spotted the latest arrivals to our nocturnal section?

These are Spinifex Hopping Mice - named for their large feet and kangaroo-like hopping ability, these mice can be found in the deserts of Central and Western Australia.

💡 Did you know... To cope with the desert heat, hopping mice can raise their body temperature so their surroundings feel cooler.

Happy Fathers Day to Pav, and all the other dads out there!

Pavan, our snow leopard, is not only a dad, but a grandad and even a great grandad! All of his kids have left home and can be found in zoos across Europe - and currently, one of his descendants can be found in the UK; his grandson lives at Marwell Zoo.

So join us in celebrating dad's of all species ❤️

Zookeeper Chloe is running a half-marathon in August to raise money for Saving Wildcats

Scottish Wildcats are one of our rarest and most threatened mammals here at the zoo, as well as here in the UK. Saving Wildcats and the RZSS, work to coordinate captive breeding of Scottish Wildcats within zoos, lead a re-introduction programme in the Cairngorms National Park and work to solve the issues faced by Scottish Wildcats in Scotland.

The Scottish Wildcats here at the zoo are part of the Captive Breeding Programme, working to save this incredible species. And we have some exciting news about this coming soon!

If you'd like to support Chloe (and Scottish Wildcats), please consider donating using the following link

Crikey! Project Fraggle Rock is almost complete!

It's almost time to play the music
It's almost time to light the lights
It's almost time to meet the muppets
But it's not the Muppet Show tonight!

With 4️⃣ species soon to be joining us... can you guess at least one of the new arrivals?

On another note...
Can you answer the age-old question - what would happen if you mixed Kermit, Big Bird, and Oscar the grouch?
