No matter how old we are, or whoever we’re looking to spend our days out with, pretty much all of us love seeing and learning about animals from all walks of life. Which is why zoos and wildlife parks are fantastic days out.
Especially when you know the attraction you’re visiting really cares about wildlife. And that goes for Dartmoor Zoo.
Nestled on the borders of Devon’s Dartmoor National Park in the South West of the UK, Dartmoor Zoo covers 33 acres of gorgeous woodland. And this habitat just so happens to be home to some incredible animals and stunning gardens…
Perfect for anyone looking for things to do in Devon with their family, friends and loved ones, Dartmoor Zoo needs to be at the top of your list for your next adventure.
What you’ll find at Dartmoor Zoo…
Dartmoor Zoo is a walk-through wildlife experience. Stroll at your own pace, spend as much time as you want meeting your favourite animals, stop for a spot of lunch or an ice-cream on a hot day, before continuing your wild adventure.
Here’s a little sneak sample of some animals you’ll come across on your zoo adventure:
Lions, tigers, zebra, jaguars, cheetahs, wolves, meerkats, wallaby, otters, ostriches, and so many more including a Reptile and Bug House for those who love creepy crawlies.
And if you’re a lover of gardens, make sure you leave enough time to discover the fabulous flora. You’ll notice they’ve dedicated some areas to re-wilding and by letting nature run its course, the ecosystem plays a vital role in helping local wildlife thrive.
We love it, Dartmoor Zoo!
Conservation is key at Dartmoor Zoo
Zoos are lots of fun and they make it so easy to get wrapped up in the excitement of a great day out.
As you make your way around, there’ll be lots of opportunities to learn about the incredible conservation work the team at Dartmoor Zoo do. When you stop for snack, or settle down on a bench for a rest, it’s a great time to reflect on this. The more we learn about conservation, the more we’re all able to help protect our wildlife and our world. And if you have little ones with you, could there be a better time to start learning when in the presence of the very animals we need to protect?
