Noah's Ark Zoo Farm is easily accessible by car or coach and offers generous parking. We are 6 miles from the centre of Bristol and a short distance from the M5. Please see the 'Plan Your Visit' tab on the homepage for more information.

To ensure that it is an affordable day out for educational visits, the entry cost is £8.50 per child (under the age of 16). The entry cost is £11 per student (16+ years). The cost of admission entitles your group to a whole day at Noah's Ark Zoo Farm.

Payment is made at the Ticket Office by cheque or card on arrival. Alternatively, we can invoice you after the visit. Please ensure correct address/contact details are given at the time of booking aswell as any Purchase Order numbers you would like added.

Yes. We ask that staff members ensure children are supervised at all times during the visit. If the group is slightly older, we still ask that staff are present around the site to manage pupil behaviour as they visit the animal enclosures, play on the playgrounds and enjoy their picnic.

There is free parking for coaches and 800 cars on site. On fine days, it is recommended that your coach parks at the top of the first car park and the group walks down to the zoo past the deer enclosures. On very wet days, the coaches may drive down through the car park and deposit passengers near the Ticket Office and return to the coach park.

A zoo map is available to download from our website.

We have large indoor and outdoor picnic areas. We have a number of marquees around the zoo that can be used for lunch.
