Paignton Zoo is a celebrated 80-acre wildlife park in Paignton, Devon, that has welcomed visitors since 1923. Home to over 1,800 animals, the zoo houses critically endangered species including Sumatran tigers, western lowland gorillas, Bornean orangutans, and the only northern brown kiwis in the United Kingdom. Guests enjoy daily animal feeding sessions, indoor tropical and desert habitats, nature trails through Clennon Gorge, and keeper talks throughout the day, with behind-the-scenes animal experiences also available. Every ticket supports international conservation breeding programmes protecting threatened species. With indoor soft play, outdoor recreation areas, and activities suitable for all weathers, Paignton Zoo is ideally suited to a full family day out in the English Riviera.
