"Much like a 'late at the museum', Bristol Zoo Project has done a fantastic job of putting together a 'late night at the zoo'. Strolling around at night, the woods have a whole different vibe and since it is early evening, the animals are in a different part of their day so you see a another side to them....Simply brilliant!
Bristol Zoo Project is not like other zoos I have visited. The layout, the space for the animals and the information provided along the way is very well done. I especially appreciated WHY the species was at the zoo, which for me, demonstrates their key commitment is the conversation and welfare of animals."

Bear Wood
Step back in time to a woodland where brown bears, wolverines, lynxes and wolves still roam. Explore a winding treetop walkway and learn about these amazing animals.
Red panda
Red pandas are crepuscular, which means they're most active at dawn and dusk – so you'll have a great chance of seeing our new resident, Nilo, up close at Summer Lates!
Delicious food and drink
Grab a refreshing drink from the bar, or a freshly-baked sourdough pizza from Base Camp Pizzeria to enjoy as you immerse yourself in the entertainment on offer.
Lemur Walkthrough
Watch ring-tailed, ruffed and mongoose lemurs leap, run and play all around you in our immersive habitat.
