We are adjusting our public opening times for the festive period while our team continues to care for the animals.
As we approach the festive season, we want to update our visitors and community on our opening hours for Christmas and the New Year.
While our dedicated keepers will be on-site 24/7, ensuring our animals receive the highest standard of care and plenty of festive treats, our public access hours will change slightly during the holiday week.
Holiday Opening Schedule
Please note the following changes to our standard operating hours:
- Monday 23rd December: 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM
- Christmas Eve (24th Dec): 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM
- Christmas Day (25th Dec): 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM
- Boxing Day (26th Dec): 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM
- New Year's Day (1st Jan): Closed
Normal opening hours apply to all dates not listed above.
Visiting Us
If you are planning to visit us on Christmas Day, please note the earlier closing time of 12:00 PM. We recommend arriving early to make the most of your time with the animals.
