Accessibility Information

Exmoor zoo is on a gentle slope. There are two short steep slopes to be found in the grounds. At least 65% of all paths are laid to tarmac for ease of wheelchair and push chair access and level paths exist between the gentle slopes.

All other paths are laid to scree. The paths turn to scree at the lower section of the zoo furthest away from the entrance and the use of manual wheelchairs in this area is not advisable. These paths can be adequately accessed by electric wheelchairs and mobility scooters.

The steepest incline is at the initial animal enclosures (1-2) as you enter the zoo. It is advised to have your scooter on a low speed and check your brakes on a manual wheel chair before attempting this small incline.

Enjoy a day out at Exmoor Zoo, one of the “West-country’s hidden gems” on the edge of the National Park. Here you can experience a truly unique rural zoo set into a valley in North Devon.

Discover rare and unusual animals seldom found in other zoos like Sand Cats, Binturong and Clouded Leopard, along with everybody’s favourites too, Meerkats and Red Pandas.

Home of the Exmoor Beast!
Exmoor zoo has the only black leopard on exhibit in the UK! Is this the cat that has been seen roaming around the South-west and Exmoor? The Exmoor Beast myth is as alive now as it was back in medieval times – what do you think?

What’s On?
Every day you visit something different should be happening every half an hour at the zoo! Every month you come a different activity or theme you can join in will occur! Look at the daily timetable or the monthly events to see what you can do when you visit.

Meet the Animals
Any visit to the zoo is all about the animals you could see! Exmoor zoo has some unique and very unusual animals – Binturong, singing dog, Tayra, sand cat, hunting dog, Yellow throated marten to name a few! Go and Explore!

We regret that dogs are not allowed into the zoo (except guide dogs).
