Birmingham Wildlife Conservation Park

The conservation park extends across 6.5 acres and features exhibits of red pandas, lemurs, reptiles, meerkats, otters, birds, wallabies, and numerous monkey species.

The location holds a rich past as the site of a 16th-century fulling mill called Pebble Mill before transforming into Birmingham Zoo in 1964 and later reopening as Nature Centre in 1974.

The park maintains membership in the British and Irish Association of Zoos and Aquariums while participating in European breeding programs for endangered species protection.

Visitors can find the conservation park at Pershore Road in Birmingham, with current admission prices and opening hours listed on the official website.

A red panda named Babu gained local fame in 2005 when he left the park premises, leading to a four-day search operation across Birmingham before his safe return.
