The best things to do at Blackpool Zoo

A day out at Blackpool Zoo is all about the animals, of course! Some of the zoo's most popular animals include tigers, elephants, flamingos, and gorillas. The zoo also offers animal experiences, which include feeding giraffes, meeting tapirs, and meeting lemurs.

Our top 3 exhibits to see at Blackpool Zoo are:

Dinosaur Safari

One for dino lovers, these dinosaurs might not be real but they're still wondrous. Explore over 30 dinosaur species in the Dinosaur Safari exhibit.

Giraffe Heights

Opened in 2008, Giraffe Heights is home to four female giraffes, with viewing from a raised walkway offering ample opportunity to see these majestic animals.

Orangutan Outlook

Home to a family of critically endangered Bornean orangutans, Orangutan Outlook offers plenty of action as the apes climb around their home.

Other facilities at Blackpool Zoo

While you're at Blackpool Zoo, you can head to the Lake View Café for a bite to eat and pick up a souvenir from the gift shop. The café serves a variety of hot food, salads, and snacks, while the Conservatory sells Starbucks coffees and Walls ice cream. In the gift shop, the whole family can choose from a wide selection of toys, clothes, jewellery, stationery and more to take home.

What age group is Blackpool Zoo suitable for?

Blackpool Zoo is suitable for all ages, from babies in pushchairs right up to older visitors. The whole family can enjoy their day out at Blackpool Zoo.

When is the best time to visit Blackpool Zoo?

Blackpool Zoo is a primarily outdoor attraction, which means it's the perfect place to visit in the spring and summer when the weather is good. The Zoo does offer a number of indoor exhibits and viewing platforms to take cover in when it rains, although most of the Zoo will have to be explored outdoors. Blackpool will be very busy at weekends and during school holidays, which means visitors who can avoid these peak times might benefit from a slightly quieter day out.

What to take with you?

It is advised to bring an umbrella on rainy days or a sun hat on warmer days.
