Disabled visitors
Most areas of the zoo is accessible for people using wheelchairs. The pathways are mainly grass or gravel and the zoo is set on a slight incline. We do not recommend motorized mobility vehicles as some of the pathways are country park like and uneven.
Dogs and pets
We regret dogs and pets are not allowed in the zoo. This includes guide dogs and assistant dogs as this has been known to upset the animals.
