Hoo Zoo and Dinosaur World

Hoo Zoo and Dinosaur World Hoo Zoo and Dinosaur World, formerly known as Hoo Farm Animal Kingdom is a small family run zoo in Shropshire.

TripAdvisors 2nd Best Zoo in the UK for 2023 and 2024. Celebrating their 30th birthday in 2021, Hoo Farm Animal Kingdom took the huge step of relaunching as Hoo Zoo and Dinosaur World. With over 100 species of animals, 30 animatronic dinosaurs and activities taking place all day Hoo Zoo really is a fun day out whatever the age. Hoo Zoo and Dinosaur World launched back in 1991 as Hoo Farm Country P

ark and over the past 30 years has become one of the midlands premier attractions - even winning National Farm Park of the year along the way. In 2004 the farm became a licensed zoo and hasnโ€™t looked back. Now the zoo is home to not just sheep, cows, pigs and horses but other zoo favourites such as Meerkats, Lemurs, Servals, Caracal and even Wolves. Hoo Zoo and Dinosaur World is extremely passionate about conservation with a strong message throughout the zoo of conservation through education. This is put across through the fun informative meet and greets that take place but also the renowned animal experiences (advanced booking essential). Whilst being great fun, the new dinosaurs are an important part of this message with it being more important than ever that steps are made to stop us going the way of theโ€ฆ..well dinosaurs! It's strongly recommended that customers prebook their tickets at www.hoo-zoo.com due to limited capacities.

* Big Fat Hoo's Knows Quiz Of The Year *
Hosted by our wise Quiz Master Tortoise ๐Ÿข ๐ŸŽ

1. Over the years, there have been 24 pets whoโ€™ve appeared on iconic BBC childrenโ€™s show Blue Peter, including Henry, a Beagle-Bassett cross rescue dog, who joined the team in April 2019. But do you know who was the first ever Blue Peter pet?

2. Flushed Away is a 2006 animated adventure comedy film about a pampered pet mouse named Roddy St. James (voiced by Hugh Jackman) who is flushed down the toilet by a comfort-loving sewer rat, (voiced by Shane Richie) โ€“ can you remember his name?

3. The Wizard of Oz, starring Judy Garland as Dorothy Gale, is a family favourite at Christmas. But can you remember why Dorothy ran away with her little Cairn Terrier Toto, which saw them transported to the magical land of Oz?

4. Sir Isaac Newton may be best known for his ground-breaking discoveries about the laws of gravity โ€“ but heโ€™s also thought to have invented something else for his cats. Do you know what it is?

5. In the wild, these supremely social animals live in groups of up to 100, where they dig complex burrows to hide from predators, complete with nests and food stores. Unlike many small furries, these little rodents are diurnal, which means they are active during the day. What are they?..

If you've visited in the past couple of weeks you may have seen a new habitat being built in our 'Animals of the World' section. The storms have slowed things down but it should be ready for early 2025.

Any ideas what it might be for?
