Last entry times

We accept entrance to the Zoo no less than one hour before our listed closing time on the day of your visit.

We do recommend at least 2 hours to look around as this gives you a much better opportunity to see more of the animals.

Do not feed the animals. This helps us keep them healthy.
No dogs or pets are permitted, except for assistance dogs. Please refer to our Assistance Dog Policy
No cycling, scooters, rollerblades, or rollerskates.
No smoking or vaping around the zoo, except in appropriately sign-posted areas.
Do not cross barriers, or climb or stand on any walls or enclosures.
Do not bang on the glass, or rattle/shake the barriers of the animal enclosures.
Please make sure to wash your hands after any contact with an animal.
Children must be accompanied by a responsible adult at all times.
Please use nappy bags for disposing of nappies. Ensure they are placed in the designated bins provided in the toilets.
You may temporarily leave and re-enter the zoo if you need to access your vehicle.
