There is a wide range of shops, cafes and ice-cream kiosks located around the zoo; which cater for all tastes and budgets. At our Fountain Shop a fun and professional face-painting service is available during peak periods.

In order to ensure you see everything you wish to on your day out, there are clear signs and large maps located across the Zoo. We also sell comprehensive guidebooks that can help you make the most of your day, as well as providing interesting information about the animals.
