Bristol Zoo Gardens have ensured everyone has a safe and enjoyable visit with an one-way system and social distancing measures. To ensure the safety of visitors and staff, please read the site rules before visiting. Some areas remain closed because it is difficult to maintain social distancing at present in those locations, or because they include multiple high-frequency touch points.
