  EXPERIENCE THE WILDLIFE
At Cornwall’s award winning zoo


Discover hundreds of animals from all around the world set amongst exotic lakeside gardens, ranging from the smallest monkey the Pygmy Marmoset to ‘Ronnie’ and ‘Connie’ the African Lions.

Enjoy talks and feeding times throughout the day every day of the year (closed Christmas Day). See the very popular otter family playing in the stream in the Oriental Garden, which is also home to some rare and endangered animals like Owston’s Civets from Vietnam and stunning Hornbills from Asia. Look out for meerkats on sentry duty, penguins playing in their pool, the beautiful colouring of the Red Pandas and glimpse the strange and endangered lemurs and fossa.
 




 


There are animal encounters every day where you can meet some of keepers and the animals they care for, like Alvin the skunk, Oscar the Great horned Owl, and Martes the Coati (the animals may vary, you will be given a daily info sheet when you enter with what is happening that day).

The Tropical House is another stunning exhibit with an open jungle rainforest exhibit where you can spend time spotting a variety of exotic animals including sloths, toucans, monkeys, toads and much more. See displays on the zoo’s overseas conservation work and visit the minibeasts room with snakes, skinks, dart frogs and other creepy crawlies.
