For ways to help and for up to date news from the zoo, check our social media pages regularly.

During the COVID pandemic we lost around 9 months of income and now with the cost of living crisis, our fuel bills have quadrupled, so we still need your help.

Every penny raised goes straight towards the welfare of all our animals.
