                Tropiquaria is a small tropical house and zoo in

West Somerset, sixteen miles from Taunton and nine miles

from Minehead. We are based in a 1930’s art-deco BBC

transmitter hall, which is now a grade 2 listed bulding. A zoo has

been run from this site since the early 1990’s and the current

owners took over in 2007. Since then, efforts have

been made to develop a slightly more African

theme to the tropical hall and aquarium. As

well as the animal displays, we have a number

of other attractions based here. Including a Radio

Museum, the Shadowstring Puppet Theatre, and a range

of indoor and outdoor children’s play areas.

Weston and Travis our White-fronted

Brown Lemurs and the story of how they

eventually arrived here at Tropiquaria

was featured on ITV’s “Wildlife Patrol”

on the 23rd August 2011. If you missed

this episode of a great wildlife series

you can still catch it on the ITV player

online by clicking on this “link”

 

Weston and Travis are father and son, and were rescued from an illegal animal dealer. They now live in a wonderful new spacious enclosure next to our Ring-tailed Lemurs

 

This enclosure could not have been created without the assistance of the students at Weston College, who built the dividing wall and play area, and the Williton branch of Travis Perkins who donated all the timber required.

 

In recognition of the help given by our friends at Weston College and

Travis Perkins, it was decided that we would name the lemurs after them. Hence the names “Weston” and “Travis”

 

Over 160 different species on display
