About the park

A family wildlife park in Southampton

Jacob's Zoo is a family-run park where animal welfare and hands-on learning come first. We keep our habitats spacious and natural, and our keepers spend their days out among the exhibits, sharing what they know with visitors of every age.

Our story

What started as a small collection has grown into six exhibits spanning big cats, primates, reptiles, farm animals and a heated tropical aviary. Through it all, our aim has stayed the same: to give animals a great home and to help families fall in love with wildlife.

We are always happy to talk through your visit, whether you are planning a family day out, a birthday treat or a school trip. See our work up close over on the gallery.
