AREA CLOSURES

Please be aware our Amur tigers at Tiger Taiga will only be viewable in the smaller enclosure between Monday 4th July - Friday 8th July 2022. There will be no viewing possible in the bigger enclosure due to essential maintenance work taking place. Viewing of our Warty pigs and Spotted deer at Island Dwellers may also be restricted during this time.

Due to technical difficulties, the sandpit in Discovery Den will NOT be available TODAY.
