Paignton Zoo Environmental Park specialises in protecting rare species and new babies are being born there on a regular basis. It is a spacious and beautiful area where the animals are kept in a natural-looking habitat, and feeding times are a treat for children to watch. There are picnic and play areas, and a mini train for those who cannot... More

It had been a few years since we had visited Paignton Zoo and we were really pleased to say it's better than ever! New exhibits and enclosures have been added, we had a great day out.

Went to Paignton zoo as a small group of adults and despite not having children it was still a great day out! We really liked the wide open spaces that the peacocks could roam in and seeing the various animals. However it was a real disgrace to see some parents (and there were quite a few) allowing their children to... More

Paignton Zoo was fabulous as usual. My father in law was able to hire a mobility scooter which worked really well for us. There aren't many places which can entertain two people in their 80's and 2 teenagers A wonderful day for the whole family.
