Paignton Zoo, Animal conservation center in Paignton, England
The 80-acre property contains 2,000 animals representing 300 species and maintains 1,600 plant varieties in multiple naturalistic habitats.
Herbert Whitley established the zoo in 1923 as Primley Zoological Gardens, initially charging one shilling for adults and sixpence for children.
The Wild Planet Trust manages the facility, focusing on international conservation projects and scientific research to prevent species extinction.
The zoo provides wheelchair accessibility, discounted online tickets, and allows free entry for carers accompanying visitors with disabilities.
During World War II, the zoo expanded its collection by housing evacuated animals from Chessington Zoo, leading to its transformation into Devon's Zoo.
