Twycross Zoo

The 32-hectare animal park houses more than 500 animals from 100 species, including numerous endangered mammals and invertebrates across themed habitats.

Molly Badham and Nathalie Evans established the zoological park in 1963, marking the beginning of a scientific institution focused on wildlife preservation.

The zoological park maintains one of the largest primate collections in the United Kingdom while conducting research programs on animal behavior.

The facility includes wheelchair-accessible pathways throughout the grounds, multiple dining options, gift stores, and educational spaces for children's activities.

This conservation center participates in international breeding programs for endangered species while enabling visitors to observe rare animals in naturalistic settings.
