Where to eat
Visit one of our cafes or kiosks within the Zoo for a sit down meal, take away items or special treats.
Watching our animals eating all day can make you hungry (because they eat A LOT). Our retail outlets offer a tasty selection of food and drinks. Check out our food options and winter specials below.
