Twycross Zoo is an award-winning conservation charity, with an award-winning schools programme, and fun for all the family 364 days a year. Set in more than 80 acres, we have around 500 animals of almost 100 species to see, including many endangered animals and also native species in the Zoo’s Nature Reserve.

A compact Zoo concentrating on endangered species. Rightly famous for its collection and display of Primates. New for 2022 the Gruffalo Trail is an excellent addition for children up to 10 years.

Bonobo Mom and BabyTwycross Zoo is now renowned as a World Primate Centre and has a wide variety of monkeys and apes including the UK’s only group of bonobos. We have breeding groups of many endangered primate species so we often have babies and toddlers playing around in our great ape groups, and in many of our monkey groups. We also hold a range of other species including giraffes, snow leopards, penguins, meerkats, tapirs, kangaroos, snakes, flamingos and the world’s rarest big cat, the Amur leopard, plus more > Twycross Zoo animals You can walk with our ring-tailed lemurs in their walk-through enclosure; see our troop of emperor tamarins leap above your head in their treetop exhibit, and watch our Humboldt penguins take their daily walk. Watch 4 species of gibbon swing around in Gibbon Forest, and see all 4 great apes; gorilla, orangutan, chimpanzee and the UK’s only group of bonobos. Feed the lorikeets, walk through Butterfly Forest, watch the Penguin Parade, listen to our regular talks and feeds There’s an indoor soft play area, outdoor play areas and a huge Wet & Wild water play area – so don’t forget a towel! In 2013, we won BIAZA’s Best Sustainable Zoo or Aquarium and Best Education Project (public and general visitor) awards, and were commended in the Significant Advance in Husbandry and Welfare, Significant Advances in Zoo and Wildlife Medicine, and Best Education Project (Schools and Educational Institutions) categories. Our conservation breeding programmes flourished last year as we welcomed a critically endangered Western lowland gorilla, an endangered bonobo along with many more zoo babies including two endangered snow leopard cubs, meerkat pups, our first ever spectacled owl chick, and several babies in many of our primate groups. Twycross Zoo’s award winning Education Department offers a variety of discovery opportunities for many different types of groups and parties.
