Exmoor Zoo a special place that enables you to get up close and personal!  Opened in 1982  the zoo is now an ideal family venue, especially for the kids.  The zoo is always changing so no repeat visit is ever the same.

Exmoor Zoo is open 362 days of the year at 10am every morning. 
The 3 days in the year when we are closed are: December 24th, 25th and 26th Inclusive

Please check our Current Opening Times here and our current Admission Prices here 

Recent exhibits such as caracal, puma, maned wolves, tapir, sand cats and the famous “Exmoor Beast” can be seen amongst the unique and rare smaller animals for which the zoo provides “natural” enclosures. Carefully planted shrubs and trees as they have matured along the winding zoo paths keep you wondering what is next, providing a very relaxing and natural atmosphere!

Exmoor Zoo is different, neither a wildlife park or a city zoo, but a more friendly and contact orientated zoo which has grown into the North Devon countryside. You get to meet the animals, join in the handling sessions, touch a snake, hold a spider, feed a wallaby and learn about the animals during talks and feed times.

We are extremely proud to announce the we have just been awarded both the best small attraction in Devon and the whole of the Southwest – a great achievement. The zoo is not so large so as to prevent you seeing everything in a visit and has some very rare and unusual animals on display – many of which you will not see in other UK zoos!

Why  not come and pay us a visit – you would be most welcome!
