Most areas of the zoo is accessible for people using wheelchairs. Expect mostly Country Park like pathways with some uneven and mixed surfaces including roots in places, we are also set on a slight incline. Whilst we have many regular visitors who enjoy the zoo from their wheelchairs, some visitors have told us that they have found getting a wheelchair around is a hard push at times.
Because of the uneven and Country Park like nature of our pathways we do not recommend motorised mobility scooters or chairs, especially those with a narrow wheel base.
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. We recommend that, wherever possible, dogs are left at home rather than brought and left in the car as there is very little shade anywhere in the car park before 12 noon and none at all after that.
We have arranged a schedule of activities and events for the weekends and school holidays as part of our commitment to environmental education. Some activities will be weather permitting and subject to staff availability. A daily programme will consist of a selection of the talks and activities listed below, but not all of them on any one day.
