Sovereign, the Jaguar

A Great Family Zoo on the Edge of Dartmoor!

There are over 200 animals at Dartmoor Zoological Park: from tiny stick insects to Ben our Brown Bear or Solomon our Lion, all set in over 30 acres of beautiful parkland. Discover something different, learn something amazing and help us make tomorrow's world rich in animal life.

We are open daily from 10am all year round. It is a wonderful place to bring children. Come and see the animals and enjoy new our new restaurant with-far reaching views, and delicious healthy food.

Watch the Meerkats

We've recently install these great new web cameras so you can now drop in and see the meerkats 24hrs a day.

This is the main enclosure. We'll be moving the camera around from time to time so you get to see the whole show.

This is where you'll find Sue and Timon tucked up at night in their temperature controlled house.

They've been getting down to the business of starting a family recently so make sure you keep a close eye on developments.

Keeper for a Day

LynxOur Keeper and Education currently offer a fantastic package designed for everyone who ever wondered what it was like to work in a zoo and look after all these fantastic animals.

The Keeper for a Day programme will give you a fantastic opportunity to get hands-on with some of the most popular animals here at DZP. You'll get to see what it's like to be a keeper with a unique behind the scenes experience you'll never forget.

Great News for DZP Members!

We've extended the 'price freeze' on all Keeper for a Day packages for DZP Members until 1st March. We'll also extend the same offer to anyone purchasing membership before the end of February!

Places are strictly limited, so if you're interested in getting involved, or you know someone who'd just adore this fantastic experience as a gift, then contact us now.

Great New Membership Offers

All DZP Members get a great 10% discount on the 2010 prices of all our experience packages such as Keeper for a Day and Guided Photography Tours.

For the moment, our Annual Family Membership will remain at the reduced price of £80 (usual price £105) and the cost of Child Membership will remain at £10 (usual price £25).

That's not all – we've also teamed up with the National Marine Aquarium (NMA) to give you the best membership deal in the region. If you're a member of DZP, you qualify for a massive 50% discount on membership for the NMA and of course, if you're already a member of the NMA you get the same great 50% discount on DZP membership.

At either DZP or NMA, to qualify for the membership discount simply present your existing membership card when you purchase your new membership.

Not sure if you want both memberships? No problem – simply buy a one day ticket at full price and if you want to take up the offer after your visit you can redeem the cost of your ticket against the membership on the day. It's that simple.
