About Filey Zoo

Filey Zoo is a well-designed and beautifully maintained zoo surrounded by stunning Yorkshire coast and countryside. Opened in 2008, this award-winning family-run attraction offers a unique blend of domestic and exotic animals, birds, reptiles, nature and gardens. Since opening, the collection has expanded to include more exotic animals, and with exciting new additions each year there’s always something extra to see.

  • Meet our Amazing Animals...

    With an A to Z of fascinating creatures, ranging from Agouti to Zebu, there’s plenty to interest everyone. You can meet miniature monkeys, mara and our mischievous mob of meerkats. Chat, sing and dance with our parrots - especially George, who keeps everyone entertained! At the Reptile Realm you’ll find Aja our 14 foot (4.2m) Reticulated Python, lizards, and even a Cuvier’s Dwarf Caiman. But its not just reptiles you’ll see here, we also have Red-bellied Piranha and various other ‘creepy crawlies’.

  • More than just animals...

    At Filey Bird Garden & Animal Park we love all aspects of nature - and surrounded by spectacular Yorkshire countryside, we’ve created a haven for a huge range of native wildlife. From the tranquil wildlife pond, meadow, and wood to the stunning Gold Award-winning gardens, there’s lots more to discover.

  • Don't miss our daily keeper talks and feeding times

    Experience more at one of our daily keeper talks, which are hourly throughout the day. You can watch some of your favourite animals being fed, whilst hearing more about them. Learn how our keepers keep them engaged by using training to enrich their daily routines. Find out more about animal conservation or simply learn their favourite foods! Talk times are displayed near the entrance to help you plan your visit, don’t worry if you do miss any – you can still learn all about our different species from the signs on each enclosure.
