We’re excited to invite you and your family to a fantastic summer day out surrounded by nature, adventure, and plenty of animal magic at the award-winning Noah’s Ark Zoo Farm!

Nestled in 100 acres of peaceful countryside just 6 miles south of Bristol, this special zoo is more than just a fun day out—it’s a place that works hard to support, protect and care for the natural world, inspiring every visitor with a love for our planet and hope for the future.

Originally opening in 1999 as Noah’s Ark Farm Centre, it began with hands-on fun, including bottle-feeding lambs, tractor rides, and play in the hay barn. Fast forward to today, and the zoo now welcomes over 200,000 visitors annually and is home to more than 100 amazing species, including African elephants, giraffes, rhinos, lions, and even spectacled bears.

There’s so much more to enjoy than just the animals (though they are amazing!) — get ready for:

• Indoor fun in the Rainbow Slide Play Area, Arkiventures Indoor Play, and Under-5s Soft Play
• Outdoor adventures at the Elephant Play zone, Wallaby Hill Wooden Playground (parental supervision required), Sand Pit, and Welly Splash Pool
• Explore the Great British Wildlife Maze and Mini Maze
• Slide down the Termite Mound Slide (parental supervision required)
• Enjoy daily animal talks and displays (check times on the day)
• Don’t miss the Small Animals Meet & Greet at 2:30 pm!

Whether you’re here for the whole day or just the morning, this is a fantastic opportunity to create special memories with your family in a beautiful and inspiring setting.
