Animal Talks and Exhibitions
We have a wonderful Presenter Team giving fun, informative talks at various animal enclosures throughout the day, every day.
A different series of talks takes place on each day of the week. You can also find the Presenters at the entrance plaza at 10:30 for up to date zoo news; in Fruit Bat Forest and in the Joseph Banks Room (our exhibition space) and they are always happy to chat about our animals.
We have a very knowledgeable team, especially about the zoo’s animals, and if they can’t answer your questions, they’ll find out for you!
Animal Talks
Each animal talk lasts a little under ten minutes and includes lots of interesting facts about our own animals, animals in the wild and their conservation status and what we all can do to help save endangered species.
You can even come and hear fascinating talks and stories about the awe-inspiring dinosaurs in our Dinosaurs Bite Back! exhibit. Meet the Presentersaurus at the Dinosaur Den, in the shadow of the mighty t-rex.

Exhibitions
The Joseph Banks Room, between the Lions and Mongoose Mania, is our exhibition space. Our recent exhibition, Zoo Vets – The Inside Story which provided an amazing insight into the work of our veterinary team at the zoo, has now ended.
The Joseph Banks Room will therefore be closed for the foreseeable future, so we can put in a new and exciting exhibition.
