Bristol Zoo Gardens

Bristol Zoo Gardens is the fifth oldest zoo in the world and first opened its doors to the public on Monday 11 July 1836. Since then it has helped save over 175 species from extinction, showed 40 million school aged children the value of nature for human society and has given more than 90 million visitors a great day out. We save wildlife together, through conservation science research, working to protect species and habitats overseas, encouraging sustainable behaviors and perceptions, educating tomorrow’s wildlife warriors and giving families a great day out. Bristol Zoological Society is a conservation and education charity, which runs and operates Bristol Zoo Gardens and the Wild Place Project.
