Visitor's Code

Compiled for your safety to ensure your visit to our zoo is a safe and happy one.

Safety Barriers

Never climb on, over or under them - barriers are provided to keep you at a safe distance from possible harm.

Do Not Feed The Animals

All animals receive specially prepared diets, and unsuitable foods could cause them distress. Unauthorised feeding could put you and the animals at risk.

Respect The Animals

Please remember you are visitors to their home, go quietly, do not cause alarm to the animals by inconsiderate behaviour.

Children Must Be Accompanied

Without exception, all children under 16 years of age are required to be accompanied by a responsible adult at all times whilst in the zoo, for their safety and for the welfare of the animals in our care.

Scooters, Roller Skates, Ball Games

Due to the nature of the zoo we ask visitors not to bring in scooters, roller skates, roller shoes, or balls into the zoo.

Dogs And Pets

We like them too, but not in the zoo. This prevents any possible distress to the animals - guide dogs are also not allowed in the zoo.

Commercial Filming

Permission must be obtained from the Zoo Management prior to your arrival, for any filming or photography that is intended for commercial purposes.
