About Shaldon Zoo

Step into your own acre of tranquil woodland garden when you visit Shaldon Zoo.

This small zoo has a big heart as it works hard to contribute to the survival of animals that are at risk of extinction in the wild. All the animals receive the highest standard of care and live in habitats as closely represented to what they would be in the wild as possible. During the keeper talks you can learn more about their different family groups and habits – such as how meerkats always have a designated look out to watch out for predators. See if you can spot which one it is!

There’s a lot to see, from lemurs, capuchins, slow Loris, binturongs, birds and lots of different types of monkeys. Learn all about some of the worlds’ most endangered night-time primates as you walk through the nocturnal house and remember to check out the extra experience days on offer if you’d like to try out being a keeper for the day.

Small zoo making a big difference

We are possibly the smallest zoo in the country. But we pack a huge punch and are award winning in our fight for conservation, animal welfare, the environment and being part of world breeding programs to combat extinction in endangered animals

Activities for kids

As we are a small zoo, children cut get much closer to the animals and we like to keep the children entertained and learning. We can provide a Discovery Guide for kids to complete during their time in the zoo and we also have our True & False trail that regularly changes at least monthly. During the year there may be other activities to take part in.
