Newquay Animal World, the only zoo in Cornwall, is set in over ten acres of beautiful tropical lakeside gardens and has a wealth of exciting wildlife for all the family to enjoy.
Opened in 1969 Newquay Zoo has become one of the leading wildlife parks in the county with more than 250,000 visitors every year. The zoo has won over ten awards since 1996 and is certainly one of the best family days out in the Southwest.
Newquay Animal World is home to many of the World's most endangered species including red pandas, black apes and pumas. Renowned for its efforts to save endangered animals through captive breeding, Newquay zoo boasts groundbreaking and innovative conservation programmes and has many educational and informative displays to raise awareness and encourage visitors to appreciate and respect wildlife.
Although the work of Newquay Animal World is very serious it is a fun and exciting day out for all the family. The best way for people to appreciate the zoo's continuous efforts is to meet some of their inhabitants face to face! From lions to hedgehogs and penguins to parrots there is so much to see and do.
The young or simply young at heart will enjoy the many feeding times and talks presented by the friendly keepers who are always available to answer any questions you may have.
With beautiful picnic areas, summer barbeques, children's play areas and gift shops Newquay zoo is a magical and memorable day out for everyone.
