Got the winter blues? Why not cheer yourself up and plan a day out at the Flamingo Land Zoo? With the school holidays just around the corner it really is the perfect time to get together with family and friends and have some fun.

The award winning zoo and other areas of the park, including Children's Planet, Muddy Duck Farm, Aquarium, and Reptile House is open every weekend during February and throughout the half-term holiday (13th-17th February). The Jungle Carousel, Muddy Duck Tractor Ride and The Helitoys will also operate at advertised times throughout the day, plus The Exploratorium too!

If you'd like to add an educational twist to your visit, the Education Centre is open from noon each day for hands on learning with our fully trained Zoo Keepers. For that extra special treat, why not book one of the special Animal Encounters with the Meerkat's, Penguin's or Lemur's for your chance to get up close and personal with some of the zoo's most popular residents?

The special admission price during February is just £5 per person and babies are free of charge.
