Marwell Zoo

Marwell Zoo is a 140-acre wildlife park situated in the picturesque Hampshire countryside, approximately eight miles south of Winchester. The zoo is home to hundreds of animals spanning a wide range of species, including giraffes, snow leopards, leopards, meerkats, penguins, and more, all housed in diverse naturalistic habitats. Visitors can enjoy seven adventure playgrounds, animal feeding opportunities, a tropical house, virtual reality experiences, and dining at venues including the Keeper's Kitchen cafe. Special events throughout the year, including Zoofest summer celebrations and Christmas activities, add to the appeal. As a registered charity, Marwell is deeply committed to global conservation work supporting endangered species, and most visits comfortably fill four hours. The park is a superb family destination that balances wildlife wonder with recreational variety in a beautiful rural setting.
