About
Bristol Zoo Project, formerly Wild Place Project, offers families immersive wildlife experiences where animals roam in spacious, naturalistic habitats in Somerset and Bristol. This combined indoor and outdoor attraction in the South West welcomes visitors of all ages to encounter bears, cheetahs, lemurs, and many more species in environments designed to prioritise animal welfare and visitor engagement. On-site parking, cafe, and toilets ensure comfortable day trips, while wheelchair accessibility allows visitors with mobility needs to enjoy the experience.
The zoo project approach creates more authentic wildlife encounters than traditional zoo settings, with walkthrough enclosures bringing visitors remarkably close to some species. Conservation messages weave naturally through the experience, teaching children about protecting wildlife. For families seeking zoos in Bristol or wildlife attractions for kids in Somerset, Bristol Zoo Project delivers ethical animal encounters that educate, inspire, and create lasting memories of remarkable creatures.
