With over 2000 animals and countless exotic plants across 80 acres of beautiful, spacious grounds, you are in for a fantastic day out for all the family at Paignton Zoo! Located in South Devon, it is one of the South West’s most exciting visitor attractions and one of Britain’s top zoos. You’ll need a full day to see all that Paignton Zoo has to offer.

Discover your favourite species, big and small, including gorillas, orang-utans, giraffes, lions, tigers, red pandas and rhinos. Be ready for a few surprises along the way, like our giant tortoises, Toco toucans or echidna!

As well an being an inspiring day out come rain or shine, Paignton Zoo is part of Wild Planet Trust, a conservation charity that aims to help halt species decline.

To refuel during the day, there are food outlets around the site to grab a drink or snack, or you can enjoy a spot of lunch at the Island Restaurant in the heart of the zoo. Situated in the main entrance, the Living World gift shop is stocked full of unique gifts, cuddly toys and souvenirs.

Paignton Zoo is a registered charity, so not only do you get a great day out, you know your money is going to a good cause: supporting education, scientific research and practical conservation.
