Paignton Zoo is based in a natural environmental park and is considered reasonably wheelchair and pushchair friendly. Gradients are less than one in twelve however, some hills appear fairly steep, therefore not all paths are easy to manage independently in a manual wheelchair or some smaller electric scooters. Path surfaces are either tarmac or crushed and rolled stone and there is plenty of seating around the site.

Manual Wheelchairs: FREE*

Mobility Scooters: £20*
