Our exhibits
Jacob's Zoo is home to six different exhibits, from the big cat ridge to a heated walk-through aviary. Each one has its own keeper talks through the day. Here is what you will find, and where to read more.
Primates
Meet our ring-tailed lemurs, brown capuchins and a busy troop of macaques. The walk-through lemur enclosure lets you share the path with the animals while keepers explain how the troops live together.

Reptile House
Step into the warm, low-lit Reptile House to meet pythons, chameleons, giant tortoises and a wall of frogs and newts. A good stop on a cold or wet day.

Animal Encounters
Go behind the scenes with one of our keepers. Encounters are bookable experiences where a small group meets a chosen animal up close, with time to ask questions.
