Quiet Hour tomorrow, 9am–10am 🧡

Every Wednesday during the school holidays, we open an hour early to offer a quieter, more relaxed zoo experience for those who prefer a slower-paced environment.

Whether you’d benefit from a little extra calm or simply enjoy exploring at a gentler pace, we look forward to welcoming you! 🦒

Please note that due to the weather we will be closing at 2pm today.

All guests in the park will be offered a rainy day guarantee ticket on departure. We wish everyone a safe journey home.

Happy Reptile Awareness Day 🐍

Today we're celebrating our cold-blooded animals at Africa Alive. From snakes to skinks, geckos and tortoises, you'll find our amazing reptiles in the Nocturnal House and Discovery Centre!

Reptiles play an important role in our ecosystems, but many species face threats from habitat loss, climate change and the illegal wildlife trade.

Today, we're celebrating these incredible animals! 🦎
