Inspire with animals

We believe in contributing to the safe keeping of our planet through supporting and inspiring the next generation to learn about and get close to exotic animals

If you have a passion for animals, it can be difficult to know where and how to get involved. At HZG we offer unforgettable experiences including exclusive zoo visits - where you can hold an experience for you and your group, animal encounters to get up close to your favourite exotic animals, or if you’d like to be a long term friend of HZG then adopt an animal today!

Animal Encounters

Our most sought-after experience, our Animal Encounters allow you to experience a special meeting with your favourite animal, including Talita the sloth and many other amazing characters at Heythrop Zoological Gardens.

Community Work

We believe in supporting and involving our local community and we love to get involved with schools and charity events. From school roadshows, charity events, to visiting nursing homes with our friendly penguins - we’d love to discuss how we can bring the community together with a shared love for animals.

At our private location, you can book an exclusive visit for your party of up to 5 people. A keeper will walk you round and share everything there is to know about the history and habitats of our animals. Book an exclusive visit for a once in a lifetime, private experience for you and your party.

Spent an hour walking Beowulf a beautiful creature.
This was a seriously life enhancing activity.
