What's on Today at the Zoo

Find out about some of the animal's funniest behaviours and habits at the feed and talks presented by the education team.

Packed with animal fun facts, the 'feed and talk' sessions happen daily at various times (see below).

You can also download a PDF version of our Feeding Times and Talks.

On entry to the Zoo you will be given a map with the times of the feed and talks on the back, however please make sure you listen out for announcements during your visit for any extras or changes.

We also offer a full calendar of events throughout the year.

Please note: Due to animal diets feeding is not always available every day. Our lions are not fed on Fridays and Sundays. However, a talk will still commence. Occasionally our feeding times and talks will change.

Animal experiences can be booked on the day of your visit if there is availability. Please check with the ticket staff or the 'What's On' board at the entrance to the Zoo on the day you visit.
