We are toad-ally in love with our giant Asian toads!

They have just moved into their new enclosure and are enjoying exploring their new home.

We’ve still got Kid For A Quid running through half term, so when you come and visit us keep an eye out for them in the exotic corridor!

The whole team at Reaseheath Mini Zoo would like to pass on our heartfelt thanks to everyone who has reacted, messaged and commented following the sad news we shared last week about Timmy. It means a lot to know how many people loved him!

We're open to the public again this weekend - Kid for a Quid is still running, and will continue to the end of February Half Term. Payment by card on arrival.

We also still have a few spaces left for zoo school on the 18th, 19th and 20th February. More info and bookings on our website: https://reaseheathzoo.co.uk/discover-and-explore/zoo-school-and-academy/

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved friend, Timmy, a Brazilian Tapir, here at Reaseheath Mini Zoo. Timmy joined us in 2007 and has been a cherished member of our zoo family, delighting staff, students, and visitors alike.

In recent years, Timmy’s health began to decline due to worsening arthritis in his joints and untreatable cataracts that affected his eyesight. Despite dedicated care from our vets at Birch Heath Veterinary Clinic and adaptations to his home and daily routine to support his needs, Timmy's condition continued to deteriorate. Following advice from several vets who assessed his medical history and long-term prognosis, the difficult decision was made to put Timmy to sleep to prevent further suffering.

We will always treasure our fond memories of Timmy and are deeply grateful to the staff, students, and visitors who have cared for and spent time with him over the years. We invite you to share your own memories or special photos of Timmy as we remember the joy he brought to so many.

It's been a cold few days at the zoo this week. It's beautiful, but gives the team a lot of extra work making sure all the animals have access to fresh water, giving extra food and bedding and even defrosting padlocks so we can access enclosures! ❄️ Most of the animals are sensibly snuggled up inside where it's warm, but there have been a few venturing out to explore.

We reopen for our first weekend of 2025 tomorrow, 10am-4pm, and it's kid for a quid! The weather is due to stay pretty cold, so please travel carefully if safe to do so ❄️

ITS BACK!

Kid for a Quid 🥳- starting this weekend, Saturday 11th January, and running every weekend until the end of February half term (15th-23rd Feb) 😁

All children (4-15) can visit the zoo for £1 when accompanied by a full paying adult or concession. No need to pre-book, payment via card on arrival. We open 10am-4pm (last entry 3.30pm).

❗️ Important notice for our visitors this weekend - 14th & 15th December ❗️

Unfortunately due to the inclement weather last weekend, along with ongoing works at the zoo we have decided to close the zoo to the public this weekend.

This was due to be our last weekend opening of the year, so all of us at Reaseheath Mini Zoo would like to wish our visitors a very Merry Christmas ⛄️🎅 and we look forward to sharing our completed developments with you all in 2025!

The lemurs have been enjoying some early Christmas enrichment as a treat 😃

We're really sorry to say that we won't be able to open tomorrow due to the awful weather forecast!

We're still hoping to open as normal on Sunday 8th December, so please join us for our fun filled Christmas activities and keeper talks - 10am-4pm
