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!
