Welcome to Blackbrook Zoological Park

A warm welcome awaits you at Blackbrook Zoo

A visit to Blackbrook Zoological Park is a wonderful day out for the whole family and a great chance to get up close to some of the most endearing and rare species in the world.

We have a wealth of attractions on offer to see, not least the Pink Paradise, Flights of Fantasy in our brand new Tropical House, The Warty Pig Walk with our endangered and unique Warty Pigs, the kid's favourite Lemur Lodge, Pelican Cove, Swan Lake and of course our World of Penguins.

Your visit...

On your visit be sure to sample the delights of our award-winning Scarlet Tearoom, and stop in to our newly refurbished gift shop. Blackbrook Zoo is well known for accessibility, with ramps to all major attractions.

Why not get out of the office and join in on our corporate events, school visits or celebrate your birthday here with a penguin feed! Or even join in and be a keeper for the day!

Check out the Your visit section for more info!

Your wildlife...

Blackbrook Zoo is a charity dedicated to preserving wildlife for future generations. You can help by donating to the charity, by becoming a member – and getting free entry and other benefits, adopt an animal at the park, or volunteering your time to help out!

Check out the ‘Support us’ section for more info!

Your future...

We all have our part to play in conserving animals in the wild. The park is just the beginning! As part of EAZA (the European Association of Zoo’s and Aquaria) the park holds many animals as part of breeding programmes – and for the Darwin’s rhea we even co-ordinate the breeding programme.

We are committed to our local, regional, national and international environments – with links to projects in the wild in countries as far away as Brazil. Check out our Conservation page for more info.

Volunteers needed!
