This summer, The Very Hungry Caterpillar is visiting Bristol Zoo Project! Following the caterpillar’s footsteps, wind your way through the giant apple and pear archways and climb through the plum tunnels! Scan the QR codes to discover augmented reality filters for your phone to capture fun selfies for a truly immersive experience.
The Very Hungry Caterpillar Trail runs from 22 July to 3 September.
At the end of The Very Hungry Caterpillar Trail you’ll find giant cocoon swings to have a swoop in. There’s also a caterpillar slide and giant lawn games to play.
Join one of our interactive talks or feeds to discover more about our amazing animals. Watch our adorable meerkats or lemurs get their lunch, or learn surprising facts about ostriches, giraffes, bears and gelada baboons!
Explore the barefoot trail, take on the balance beams, explore the giant bird’s nest, and run, climb and slide on the climbing frames in the Fun Fort.
Wind your way around the beautiful butterfly maze, spotting butterflies on the wildflowers surrounding it. Discover amazing facts about butterflies as you solve the maze!
Back in June we welcomed two new Philippine spotted deer to the zoo. These endangered deer are endemic to the Central Philippines where they’re threatened by habitat loss and illegal hunting. We’re hoping our new deer will go on to have young! Find the deer in the old wolf wood area, near Tower Meadow.
Discover 8 giant street art murals on Tower Meadow, created earlier this year in partnership with Upfest. The colourful murals were painted by local street artists including Aspire, Bex Glover, Cheo, Felix Braun, The Hass, Sian Storey, Silent Hobo and Sophie Long. The artworks tell the story of our conservation work around the world and look to the exciting future of Bristol Zoo Project.
Enjoy stone-baked pizza in the basecamp pizzeria, overlooking the cheetah habitat. Freshly baked and made from locally-sourced ingredients, pizza is a great treat for everyone. Vegan and gluten free options available.
