Explorers Basecamp is now open!
Our brand new, conservation-themed play area is here!
Designed for all ages needs and abilities, it's based on a field station, which you’d find at one of our conservation project sites around the world.
Explorers Basecamp is split over three levels, each with a different theme and focus. There's a companion slide, floor trampolines, racing zipline, rope jungle, a wheelchair accessible roundabout, a family swing and more!
Climb up the scramble net, run across the scatter bridge, slide down the fireman’s pole and take on the climbing wall at the Fun Fort! Our undercover kids' play area is the perfect place for little ones to burn off some energy come rain or shine, and there's lots of seating for grown ups.
Kick off your shoes and socks on the Barefoot Trail - feel the textures of pebbles, bark, mud and more beneath your feet!
Let the children explore the wild hedge butterfly maze or time them to see who reaches the middle first.
Across Bristol Zoo Project you'll also discover lots of outdoor wild play areas including Congo Bongo, and woodland play areas including a giant bird's nest in Bear Wood.
Discover animals, outdoor play and adventure with a day at Bristol Zoo Project.
Check out what’s on at Bristol Zoo Project, with trails and events included in admission.
With acres of space in Bristol Zoo Project, there’s plenty of woodland, a meadow and nature to explore. Thanks to your support and our conservation team, our site is home to many native species, from birds and bats to newts, rare butterflies and deer! Why not see how many you can spot?
Tower Meadow is the perfect place for picnics, with lots of room for kids to run around. In the centre is Hollywood Tower, built in 1839 by Edward Dent who designed the famous 'Big Ben' clock tower.
