Blackbrook Zoological Park
A visit to Blackbrook Zoological Park is a wonderful day out for the whole family and a great chance to get up close to some of the most endearing and rare species in the world.
There is a wealth of attractions on offer to see, not least the Pink Paradise, Flights of Fantasy in the brand new Tropical House, The Warty Pig Walk with endangered and unique Warty Pigs, the children's favourite Lemur Lodge, Pelican Cove, Swan Lake and of course World of Penguins.
On your visit be sure to sample the delights of the award-winning Scarlet Tearoom, and stop in to the newly refurbished gift shop. Blackbrook Zoo is well known for accessibility, with ramps leading to most attractions.
As part of EAZA (the European Association of Zoo’s and Aquaria) the park holds many animals as part of breeding programmes.
