We reserve the right to vary animals on display and cannot guarantee that you would be able to view all of the species listed on this website at the time of your visit.

We do not shut any animal in or out, so we recommend you to go round at least a couple of times, as you will see something different each time; the animals move around within their enclosure. Take your time at each enclosure and your patience will be rewarded!
If you still can’t see something, ask a member of staff!.

YOU MAY NOT use any animal sound apps to attract our animals attention as there is evidence that this may cause upset or distress to some individuals!

We are a wildlife breeding centre for endangered species, not an entertainment centre!
