Visitors to the zoo over the last few weeks will be well aware that our fantastic zoo developments are finally underway. The first part of the construction work will see the otter, porcupine and meerkat enclosures revamped and updated. In order for these works to be completed we’ve had to temporarily rehouse the inhabitants, and whilst our porcupines will be off show, the meerkats and otters are still able to be seen. Just ask a member of our friendly team and they’ll be happy to direct you.
The second phase of our developments will see the demolition of our wooden aviary block, and a fantastic new structure built in its place. Obviously we’ll be rehousing all the aviary animals in alternative accommodation for the duration of this work, and whilst most will still be able to be seen by visitors, unfortunately we don’t have the space in accessible areas, so some animals will be off show.
Our zoo remains fully accessible to the public. Any blocked pathways will be clearly signposted and disruption kept to a minimum. We’re all very excited to see what the animals think of their fantastic new homes!
