Welcome to Paignton Zoo

Paignton Zoo is home to thousands of amazing animals and plants. Visit the desert, cross the savannah, explore the forest and trek through the tropics. Use your senses to discover the wild world: look around, listen out - you’ll even need your sense of smell! It’s a great day out for everyone.

Why not visit Living Coasts, our sister attraction in Torquay, to learn more about animals from the coastlines of the world? Or visit Newquay Zoo, Cornwall's award winning zoo.

NEW GAME!
To mark the opening of the amazing new Crocodile Swamp exhibit at Paignton Zoo, we have developed a fantastic new game. See how far you can toss your turtle for the chance to win some great prizes!
