How To Get Here

Children small

There are lots of ways to get to the zoo.

Obviously we care about the planet and its wildlife, so our favourite forms of transport are trains, buses – and especially bikes.

We’ll even give you a 15% discount if you come on your bike! There are many cycle paths to the zoo, as well as bike racks at the entrances.

If you come by car there's plenty of free parking right by the main entrance.

Here's a map of where we are.

The smartest way to the zoo
