Twycross Zoo

Twycross Zoo has been providing the exciting opportunity to get close to wildlife for over 40 years and has achieved well-respected status as one of Britain's major zoos, attracting half a million visitors each year. Twycross Zoo is dedicated to preventing threatened species whilst providing education, study and wonder for our many visitors.

The zoo appeals to all ages and spans some 50 acres that is home to around 1000 animals, including the most comprehensive collection of primate species in the world; hence it is easy to appreciate why this is one of the midlands top attractions.

The zoo also provides a unique venue for corporate events from conferences to team building days and the education team can provide study sessions for groups of students of all ages. Please telephone 01827 880250 for further details.
