About Twycross Zoo
Something magical stirs the moment you step through the gates at Twycross Zoo, where a Sumatran tiger might lock eyes with you through the glass and tiny chameleons shift colour right before you. Set in the heart of Leicestershire's countryside, this wonderful place brings families close to creatures from every corner of the planet, with enclosures thoughtfully designed so every visit feels like a genuine wildlife encounter. There are live summer shows, a brilliant autumn corn maze, and a glittering winter lantern trail to light up darker evenings. Best of all, Twycross is a working conservation charity, protecting endangered species and even helping hazel dormice return to Bradgate Park. Your day ticket doubles as a year's free return visits, so pack a picnic and come and discover it for yourself.

Squeals of delight echo across Twinlakes Park from the moment the gates swing open, promising a day so packed with fun it will fly by in the very best way. Little ones can stroke fluffy rabbits and hand-feed curious farm animals, while older children race go-karts or whoosh down water slides in a glorious rush of cool splashing water.
