Our Story

A unique zoo set in 33 acres of beautiful parkland just 20 mins from Plymouth. We have a fantastic collection which includes an impressive selection of big cats, bear, wolves, meerkats, tapir and much much more. Our restaurant serves hot and cold, drinks and meals and we can cater for all kinds of events up to 200 people including weddings. The Chief Executive Officer Benjamin Mee wrote a book about buying the zoo called, We Bought a Zoo. This later became the subject of a major Hollywood movie of the same name starring Matt Damon and Scarlett Johannson. 10 years on the zoo has been through a roller coaster journey but the conversion to charity in 2014 has strengthened it's future and opened up new and exciting opportunities.
