We have received a medal after becoming the first zoo in the UK to successfully breed the magnificent species.

As England’s record-breaking scoreline secured its place in the knock-out stages of the World Cup, three lions of a very different kind at Blackpool Zoo that are hoping their birth year is the one that ends 52 years of disappointment
As part of Step 2 of the national roadmap out of lockdown we are allowed to open once again.
However, we will not be allowed to open most indoor areas: the indoor eating area of the cafe is closed, as are the indoor viewing area of animal houses including elephants, big cats, giraffes, small primates, gorillas and orangutans. These animals all have access to their outdoor enclosures.
A full list of restrictions and measures in place can be found here. Please ensure you read them before you book your tickets as they are non-refundable and non-exchangeable.
We really look forward to welcoming you back to Blackpool Zoo.
