Gorillas and big cats
Gorilla Kingdom opened in 2007, Tiger Territory in 2013 and Land of the Lions in 2016. On cold or wet days some animals prefer to stay indoors, and most enclosures have indoor viewing areas.
Penguins, lemurs and monkeys
Penguin Beach opened in 2011 and In with the Lemurs in 2015. Monkey Valley, inside the frame of the former Snowdon Aviary, opened in 2022.
Talks, not shows
The zoo holds short talks from its experts through the day rather than animal shows. Check the What’s On board when you arrive, or the zoo’s app. Audio guides are available in seven languages; bring your own headphones.
