Blackpool Zoo is just ten minutes from junction 4 on the M55 and 2 miles behind the seafront of Britain’s busiest resort. The Zoo is home to more than 1500 exotic animals that include lions, tigers, Asian elephants, gorillas, orang utans, camels, kangaroos, zebras, red river hogs, sea lions, tapirs, otters, llamas, capybara, large families of rare primates and much, much more. Here you will find a wonderful world of animals and reptiles, also exotic birds in naturalistic environments surrounded by 32 acres of mature parkland and lakes.

Children's Zoo

A chance for younger visitors to meet and even feed some of our friendly, domestic animals in a special walk round area. Miniature donkeys, meerkats, rabbits, guinea pigs, Smokey, the llama, the zebu cattle and various chickens and waterfowl all live here.

Run Wild Play Zone

Two specially designed outdoor play areas are situated in the park to allow supervised little ones top let off steam and mimic the climbing skills of the nearby orang utans.
