Opening Hours and useful information

We are open daily (only closed on Christmas Day!)

Our opening hours differ for weekdays and weekends. Off-peak (Mon-Fri) opening hours are 10am-5pm and peak-time hours (Sat/Sun) are 9am – 12:30pm and 1:30pm-5pm. The zoo is closed for one hour at lunch for cleaning, so you need to pre-book either the morning or afternoon sessions.

We advise you to book your tickets in advance as we are limiting daily visitor numbers. When booking online you will find our opening hours for the day you plan to visit.

Please note: last admissions are 1 hour before closing

Tickets are available to book online

We have made every effort to ensure the zoo is accessible for wheelchair users and those with walking difficulties. Accessible toilet facilities can be found within the main zoo building and blue badge holders can park by the zoo entrance.

Our Croc Cafe serves delicious hot and cold meals, as well as snacks and drinks. You are also welcome to bring a picnic.

Feeding

It’s not every day you get to see a Crocodile being fed – well, other than here at Crocodiles of the World! Whether it’s our big group of Nile crocodiles, or a Dwarf caiman, our crocs species being fed vary daily and our croc team are always happy to answer your questions.

*Please note that feed times are at the keepers discretion – they are carrying our duties and keeper experiences which you are welcome to watch. Please respect social distancing.

You will also have the opportunity to see other residents being fed. These can vary daily but could include Otters, Water Monitors and of course our Meerkats who are fed three times a day and are guaranteed to amuse!

Encounters

There’s plenty of opportunities to meet some of our smaller residents up close and personal, so take advantage of the opportunities to get closer to the wild in a safe environment.

*COVID-19 Update: Please note our live croc photo experiences are not currently running*

Our live crocodile photo experiences give you the opportunity to hold a baby crocodile/alligator. These are available daily from 11am-1pm and again at 2pm-4pm. You can then purchase photographs and keyrings as a memento.

*Participants do so at their own risk and must be over 5 years old.

Talks

Our aim is for you to leave the Zoo with a deeper understanding of our animals. We’re so passionate about them that we want to tell you all about them. Our animal talks will not only bring you closer to some special creatures, but we guarantee you’ll go away knowing more than when you came!
