The Welsh Mountain Zoo, also known as the National Zoo of Wales, began as a small family-run business by the Jackson family back in 1963. Today, it’s the oldest and most established zoo in Wales! Nestled on a stunning 37-acre site, the zoo offers an amazing backdrop of lush green landscapes, with breathtaking views of the Colwyn Bay coastline and the majestic Carneddau mountains. Whether you’re exploring its wildlife or simply soaking in the views, the Welsh Mountain Zoo is the perfect spot for a fun, family-friendly adventure!

At the Welsh Mountain Zoo, we are dedicated to protecting animals and their habitats, helping everyone understand, appreciate and care for them. Our amazing animals play a special role as ambassadors for their species, teaching us all how important conservation is.
As a registered Charity, running the zoo and caring for our animals’ costs over £100,000 a month, and with rising inflation costs, it’s more important than ever to support our work. Your contribution can make a world of difference in keeping the zoo thriving for future generations to enjoy!
Enjoy family days out, school holiday adventures and truly Unforgettable Experiences!
