Family days out at a zoo immersed in nature

At Bristol Zoo Project, you’ll find amazing animals in large, natural habitats, and plenty of space to play.

As well as our animals, you'll find woodland walks, a winding treetop walkway and a sprawling meadow.

Our animals

Alongside giraffes, meerkats and cheetahs, you'll meet bears, blue-eyed black lemurs and red river hogs.

Some of our animals are outside the ordinary, but there’s a good reason we’ve chosen to care for them. Discover why on our animal pages.

Tip-toe along a treetop walkway...

Explore award-winning Bear Wood via a treetop walkway. Catch a glimpse of wolverines and wolves bounding along the forest floor, see the bears playing in their pool and the lynx resting on their raised platform.

Plenty of Play
