Blackpool Zoo, Animal park in Blackpool, United Kingdom
The 32-acre zoo houses more than 1,000 animals, from aardvarks to zebras, with dedicated areas for elephants, orangutans, gorillas, and sea lions.
The facility opened in 1972 on the former Stanley Park Aerodrome site, with Johnny Morris making an entrance riding an elephant during the inauguration.
Project Elephant Base Camp features the largest indoor elephant facility in the United Kingdom, where six Asian elephants demonstrate natural behaviors.
The zoo includes wheelchair accessible paths, multiple food outlets including a Lake View Café, BBQ kiosk, and the first Subway restaurant in a UK zoo.
Visitors can observe Western lowland gorillas through glass panels at Gorilla Mountain, the only location to see these primates in northwest England.
