What sets Blackpool Zoo apart from other zoos? Close encounters with animals, excellent facilities for our less able visitors and happy, friendly staff who want to make your visit fun! The zoo stands out in the resort, too, as being an attraction the whole family can visit together. We also have the only gorillas in the north-west and one of the best sea lion displays in the UK. Add to that those, the brand new Project Elephant, then put it all into 32 acres of beautiful, traditional English parkland and you have the hidden gem that is Blackpool Zoo.
