Toad Hall is a fascinating exhibit highlighting the threats to amphibians around the world. More tropical species of birds, insects and amphibians including; pekin robins, poison dart frogs, toucans and skinks can be seen in an open rainforest exhibit that lets you experience life down on the rainforest floor and up in the canopy.

Newquay Zoo is some of the world's most critically endangered species including the beautiful Red Pandas, Owston’s Civets and Black Wildebeest.

Keeper talks and animal feeds occur throughout the day, but if you want to get even closer, our animal experiences give you the chance to meet and feed our cheeky Lemurs or friendly Penguins. If that isn’t enough, we have activity trails, face painting, a children’s play area and a dragon maze to keep people of all abilities and ages occupied.

You will need to keep your energy up too, so why not grab a snack from Lemur Café or Tippy’s Snack Bar.

Just a short walk from Newquay town centre, Newquay Zoo is one of Cornwall’s most exciting visitor attractions.
