Paignton Zoo is a great place to go for an amazing family day out, and unlike many attractions, this truly is a whole day out. At around 80 acres, this zoo is huge and houses all creatures great and small, from butterflies to elephants and silverback gorillas. There are more than 2000 animals to keep your little ones entertained.
As well as the obvious animal attractions, Paignton Zoo has activities running throughout the day to keep children (and adults!) of all ages occupied. From the minute you enter the zoo, your children are given cards that detail animals they must search for, with a prize for finding them all. There are indoor and outdoor adventure playgrounds for a bit of rough and tumble and animals talks throughout the day. This zoo won’t just keep your little ones entertained but it will also leave the adults wanting to go back again and again as well!
