Paignton Zoo looking for investment
A MESSAGE TO OUR VALUED MEMBERS AND GUESTS
We are aware that recent media coverage regarding Wild Planet Trust may have raised some concerns and questions, and we wanted to provide you with some reassurance and clarity.
Both Paignton Zoo and Newquay Zoo remain fully open and operational, and we continue to welcome members and guests as usual. Your continued support is hugely appreciated and plays an even more vital role during this time. All bookings are still valid, and all events, including Halloween and Christmas, are going ahead as planned.
As part of our commitment to the long-term sustainability of both zoos we are exploring the possibility of securing external investment. These discussions are in the early stages, and no decisions have been made. Any future steps will be taken with the best interests of our animals, our staff and our mission to help halt species decline at heart.
Please be assured that our priorities remain unchanged: delivering the highest standards of animal welfare, education and visitor experience to our members and guests.
We will update you when we are in a position to share more information.
Thank you again for your continued support.
Keep up to date with everything zoo-related here!
As a 80 acre site, there is always lots going on at Paignton Zoo. Here is where you can find out about all of the latest updates prior to your visit. Whether it be maintenance work, an exhibit closure or an animal off-show, we aim to keep you informed so that you have a great experience with us.
Can’t see animals right away?
There may be times when some of our animals may not be viewable at the exact time that you visit an exhibit as we not do not ‘force’ them to be ‘on-show’. If an animal is not immediately visible, they could be resting in their off-show area or somewhere out of view in their naturalistic exhibit, so please make time to pop back later in the day – it will be worth the wait!
Current projects
CONSTRUCTION WORK AROUND SITE
Some of your little ones might be excited to see some diggers around on site! There’s a handful of separate construction projects ongoing at the moment. We are very excited to be starting work on these new projects, and hope you will be too!
