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
THE CENTENARY HUB IS NOW CLOSED
For nearly 2 years, the Centenary Hub has been home to 100 years of incredible memories, but now it’s time to make room for something new.
Thank you to everyone who contributed to the Centenary Hub, being able to walk through a century of conservation history has been magic!
The area will reopen in the summer holidays, watch this space!
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!
