Thanks once again to the cherokee rebels for the food and money donation to support our animal..... it really helps out, great to see you all here. Don't forget to bring the sun next time!

We are looking for an additional member of staff to work in our outside Kitchen throughout the school summer holidays!

Its that Friday feeling, We will open as normal over the weekend the outside kitchen will be open and it looks like the sun will be shinning. Zoo tickets are £3 adults and £2 kids the safari ride is free to ride once you have entered the zoo. Hope to see you all here. DON'T BRING THE RAIN PLEASE, i am growing webbed feet, its been so wet ........

Just finished, now its time for bed before we reopen tomorrow. Had a great day today, we had the team from direct line insurance in on a team bonding day today.
They really pulled all the stops out and helped us lay 200 square meters of turf then they went off and met the raccoons and meerkats. Since finishing the meerkat enclosure we have been busy refurbishing our fox enclosure. This includes a returf and wire, new glass windows, new tunnels and climbing frames as well as a new entry gate. This has been made possible by the guys from Escape Plan LIVE. Who have sponsored our lemurs, with the money being used to do the work in the fox enclosure. Thanks guys!

Well, the sun is shining and it looks like its here to stay!
Perfect weather for a visit to the zoo don't you think?
Our Safari Trek will be running from 12pm - 4pm and is included in the price of your zoo entrance, and our outside kitchen is open serving a range of hot food and cold drinks!

Did you know that we cater for schools and groups?
There's still time to book end of term visits here, we also do visits for your scouts, cubs, brownies and many more!

Ross and the guys form ESCAPE PLAN LIVE based in Chatham have very kindly sponsored our lemurs. The money they have donated will go to two projects, 1st the refurbishment of our fox enclosure and whats left over will go to our otter project which we are still looking for a sponsor for. We can't thank Ross and his team enough and I hope to work with him on a little project we are cooking up together for here...
If you are looking for a great family fun time over the school holiday why dont you try this out. www.escapeplanlive.com

Its been nearly 2 years of trying to get the money together but finally we did it. Today we moved the meerkats into their new home. It's not often I get tearful, my wife says I've got a swinging brick as a heart but today there was tears of joy watching them explore their new home.
We have also managed to finish the extension to our raccoon enclosure, again well needed. There are many to thank for this, Rowland and team from Handar Paving, the guys from Ifeild school, Brian the chippy, Connor and the team that work with me in the zoo but most of all Allhallows Leisure Park for sponsoring the enclosure. Without this, it would not have got done.

IT'S THAT FRIDAY FEELING.... AND THE BIG PLUS, ITS THE BANK HOLIDAY WEEKEND AND SCHOOL HOLIDAYS NEXT WEEK.
Every day the bouncy castle and our safari will be running. Its £4 adults and £4 kids to enter the zoo and the safari and bouncy castle is free to use.
We also, after 2 years of trying, have finally finished our new meerkat enclosure and tomorrow's the big day, they move in. We have also finished the much needed extention for our raccoons.

Time for another update on our foxes! Integrating the cubs back into the family group is going really well!
Amy; one of our keepers, managed to get this great little clip of Fawn playing with one of the adults!
