Twycross Zoo - Atherstone
 | |||||||||||||||||||||||
Twycross Zoo is now renowned as a World Primate Centre and has a wide variety of monkeys and apes including the UK’s only group of bonobos. We have breeding groups of many endangered primate species so we often have babies and toddlers playing around in our great ape groups, and in many of our monkey groups. We also hold a range of other species including Asian elephants, snow leopards, penguins, meerkats, tapir, hyena, and the world’s rarest big cat, the Amur leopard. Set in more than 80-acres, we have around 500 animals of almost 150 species to see, including many endangered animals and native species in the Zoo’s Nature Reserve. You can walk with our ring-tailed lemurs in their walk-through enclosure; see our troop of emperor tamarins leap above your head in their treetop exhibit, and watch our Humboldt penguins take their daily walk. Our keepers present regular talks and feeds where you can learn a bit more about some of our animals such as the chimpanzees, Asian elephants and South American coatis. ‘Back from extinction and rip-roaringly frightening, dinosaurs will roam the earth once again in our new Dinosaur Valley attraction. Fifteen life-sized dinosaurs will be unleashed in this ground-breaking exhibition. Towering tall with thrashing jaws, state-of-the-art animatronics will bring the dinosaurs back to life in a way like never before, featuring realistic movements and fearful roars.’ Our brand new Soft Play attraction, located in our free to enter Himalaya Visitor Centre, is now open!
