We will be donating £1 from every individual admission ticket sold online during the Easter holidays to help support Ukrainian refugees.

We are expecting to raise thousands of pounds over the three week period from Friday 1st April until Thursday 21st April to donate to The United Nation Refugee Agency.

Our UK sister attractions, the Lakes Aquarium and Nickelodeon Adventure Lakeside as well as Oceanarium The Bournemouth Aquarium, will also be donating.

Darren Webster, our Zoo Director, said: “The humanitarian situation in Ukraine has shocked the world and the fleeing refugees need as much support as possible.

“The work being carried out by The United Nation Refugee Agency is invaluable, so we hope our donations, along with those being made by so many individuals and institutions around the world, will help.

“We are maximising the amount of money we can raise by donating part of the proceeds during one of our busiest periods of the year.

“We hope our donations go some way to making life easier for those in desperate need right now.” 

Tickets need to be purchased online within the dates specified to qualify for the donation, but do not necessarily need to be used during the three week period. For example a visit for May booked online between Friday 1st April until Thursday 21st April will still qualify for the donation.

 Book your visit ONLINE today.

We will be donating £1 from every individual admission ticket sold online during the Easter holidays to help support Ukrainian refugees.
