Bristol Zoo Gardens

Geoffrey's Marmosets

Visit the new Monkey Jungle at Bristol Zoo. This fabulous exhibit provides a first class home for its primate neighbours including monkeys, lemurs and gorillas. It also offers visitors the unique opportunity to interact with the lemurs in the delightful lemur garden.

Come face to face with penguins and seals in their natural element - beneath the waves - at award winning Seal and Penguin Coasts, a must for all visitors to the Zoo. Other favourites include award-winning Bug World, Twilight World, the Reptile House and the children's play area. From the smallest and rarest tortoise in the world, to the largest ape, there are over 400 exotic and endangered species to experience.

If this is all too much then why not simply enjoy the stunning gardens and grounds? As well as being a fun place to visit, Bristol Zoo Gardens is dedicated to conservation and is involved in international breeding programmes. Over the last 12 months Bristol Zoo has seen a number of significant births, a baby western lowland gorilla and baby tapir plus many more babies and toddlers running around the Zoo - so bring your own for a fun day out!!
