Colwyn Bay Zoo

 

Zoos, or zoological gardens, exist in many forms all over the world. The first zoo showing wild animals from exotic locations to the public was opened in London Zoo, in 1828.

Zoo now often incorporate landscape immersion, where the animals' natural environment is recreated in their enclosures.

Modern zoos range from safari parks, where visitors drive through vast areas, seeing animals in the open range, to petting or childrens' zoos, where children can hold or stroke domestic and farm animals. Zoos also include aquariums, animal sanctuaries, animal theme parks, bird parks and reptile parks, and there are even butterfly zoos.

Zoo visits are fun, entertaining and educational, so wherever you are, visit your local zoo.

 

 

Zoo in Colwyn Bay, Wales, United Kingdom

  • The Welsh Mountain Zoo

    The Welsh Mountain Zoo in Colwyn Bay Clwyd is a caring conservation-conscious zoo that is located in a perfect setting, high above Colwyn Bay, surrounded by beautiful gardens, breathtaking scenery and panoramic views. We invite visitors to our zoo to spend an interesting and informative day getting to know more about many rare and endangered species from around the world, and these species include Snow leopards, chimpanzees, Sumatran tigers and red pandas. There are many wooded pathways to meander along, and grassy slopes that are ideal for relaxing on, perhaps with a yummy picnic basket. Be sure to see our fascinating Zoonique presentations which include the magnificent Winged Wonders and Penguins Playtime shows, the exciting Sea Lion feeding and training shows and then of course, the favourite with young and old, the cheeky Chimp Encounter. Another favourite is the lemur enclosure walk-through which gives visitors an opportunity of getting within meters of these charming creatures. The Welsh Mountain Zoo offers year round catering facilities serving hot and cold food, as well as an ice cream and sweet shop. We look forward to welcoming you to our zoo for a fun, exciting day out.
