For one weekend only, Twycross Zoo will be celebrating BIAZA's Love Your Zoo campaign with two days of family friendly entertainment.

BIAZA (British and Irish Association of Zoos and Aquariums) Love Your Zoo campaign is an annual nationwide event which coincides with May half-term where zoos across the country hold a range of activities to promote the important work they do with regards to conservation, education and research.

On Saturday 28 and Sunday 29 May, visitors to Twycross Zoo can enjoy kangaroo stilt performers, creative conservation cubes, a giant animatronic tortoise, storytimes plus much more, and best of all, it's all included in the admission price.

Also discover over 400 animals of 80 species, including the zoo's latest arrivals like Khumbu, the snow leopard; Upendi, the bonobo; and their new flamingo chick.

The zoo is also the only place in the UK to have all four types of great ape - the chimpanzee, orangutan, gorilla and bonobo.

Earlier this year Twycross opened its brand-new Gruffalo Discovery Land, inspired by Julia Donaldson & Axel Scheffler’s bestselling children’s book. With the help of the story’s much-loved characters, the four-acre immersive attraction provides young visitors with the chance to learn about the importance of conservation and the natural world.
