Bristol Zoo, Zoo in Clifton, Bristol, England

The 12-acre zoological park contained exhibits such as Zona Brazil, Seal and Penguin Coasts, and Gorilla Island with 700 animals of 419 species.

Bristol Zoo operated from 1836 to September 2022, marking 186 years as the fifth oldest zoo in the world and the oldest outside a capital city.

The zoo established the first Twilight Zone exhibit, featuring indoor spaces for insects, reptiles, and an aquarium for nocturnal species observation.

The Bristol Zoological Society announced the relocation of operations to the Wild Place Project site, planning to reopen in early 2024.

The institution achieved notable breeding successes, including the first black rhinoceros born in Britain and the first chimpanzee born in Europe.
