Newquay Zoo
... experience the world's wildlife

From an African Lion to a zany Zebra, get closer to over 130 species of wonderful wildlife, living side by side, in Cornwall’s Biggest zoo – set amid exotic lakeside gardens in Trenance Leisure Park, Newquay.

See the penguins relaxing in their pool, visit the creepiest crawlies in the atmospheric tropical house, watch the big cats get their lunch and learn more about conservation. Animal encounters and exciting keeper talks as well as activity trails, face painting, children’s play area and Dragon maze offer plenty to keep people of all ages and abilities occupied – a perfect day out for the whole family.

The African Savanna exhibit is home to stunning Black Wildebeest, Nyala Antelope and strikingly beautiful Zebra – for a birds eye view, watch these animals roaming their enclosure from a viewing platform. Look out, too, for beautiful red pandas, meerkats on sentry duty and the otters play in their stream. As well as a large variety of unusual species, the zoo has a village farm with more familiar faces.

You will be given a feeding times and talks sheet for the day when you arrive so you need not miss a thing.

Visit the Cafe Lemur for a varied menu and delicious food, the majority of which is locally sourced, in a relaxed setting overlooking Lemur Island.
