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!

Support Us
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.
How You Can Help
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!
