Exmoor Zoo is located in North Devon on the A399 towards Ilfracombe and Woolacombe.
Exmoor Zoo began back in 1993 with 2 staff and 10,000 visitors. Today 40,000 people visit annually, enjoying the friendly relaxed and natural atmosphere of the zoo. Over 14 staff, a head keeper and education officer all endeavor to instill the importance of looking after the environment and respect for the habitat of native and exotic animals.
The “African Café” seating over 75 diners, the Reptile House and souvenir sales area were built in 2003. The Howler monkey exhibit and tortoise house were constructed in 2006, while Cheetah and Maned Wolf enclosures were developed in the winter of 2004.
During the year they run all sorts of events – details of which can be found on their web site along with their latest news updates on the animals. You can organise special activities such as birthday parties and be a keeper for a day.
Exmoor Zoo is open 362 days of the year at 10.00 am every morning. The 3 days in the year when we are closed are; December 24th, 25th and 26th inclusive.
