Noah's Ark Zoo Farm, Conservation zoo in Wraxall, England
Noah's Ark Zoo Farm is a zoo in Wraxall that creates naturalistic habitats for over 100 animal species. The grounds feature large enclosures designed to let elephants, tigers, lions, and rhinos live in environments that resemble their natural homes.
The site started as a dairy farm before being converted into a zoo beginning in 1998 after several years of planning. This change transformed agricultural land into a major animal care and conservation facility.
The zoo runs educational programs where visitors can encounter animals up close and learn about conservation efforts. These experiences help people understand why protecting wildlife matters today.
The zoo sits about 6 miles (10 km) west of Bristol and opens daily for visitors. Ample parking is available on the grounds, making it convenient for those arriving by car.
The grounds contain one of northern Europe's largest elephant habitats with both indoor and outdoor space spanning more than 20 acres. This generous setup allows the animals to move and behave in ways closer to how they would in the wild.
