Or alternativley you can opt for a delicious fruit scone served with clotted cream and strawberry jam for just £3.75.

Fantastic gift ideas so you can really spoil mum!

Is your mum wild about animals? Then why not make her day extra special by purchasing an animal experience for an up-close encounter?

You can also adopt her favourite animal here at Colchester Zoo.

Why not treat mum to a gift that keeps on giving and purchase a Gold Pass to provide wild days out all year round with a host of extra special benefits!

Alternatively our Open-dated tickets are a great way to offer mum the choice of which day she would like to visit Colchester Zoo within a year!

Treat mum to something special just like her! It’s free to visit The Outpost Gift Shop without having to enter the zoo, so why not visit the shop for some inspirational and unique gifts including jewellery, homeware, garden ornaments, luxury bath sets and candles just to name a few!
