To help make the most of your experience at Hamilton Zoo we suggest:

Plan your day

Plan your day around our 'Meet the Keeper' and 'Face 2 Face' animal encounters. These are an excellent way to learn more about your favourite zoo animals, and to meet some real characters!

Bring a camera and some comfortable walking shoes.

Keeping safe at the Zoo

Children under 14 years of age need to be supervised. There are a number of natural waterways at the zoo, so please watch children at all times.

To ensure the safety of our animals we do not permit the following into the zoo grounds: rollerblades, skateboards, bikes, balloons, whistles, balls, frisbees or other throwing games.

Please do not feed any of our animals or enter any enclosures, or put any part of your body into any enclosures.

General information

Check out the weather before you come. Be sure to slip slop slap if visiting in summer, or bring a jacket or umbrella during winter months.

There are a limited number of prams and mobility scooters are available for hire at reception, should you require them.

Did you know?

Giraffes can't swim.
