Linton Zoological Gardens

Linton Zoo has evolved out of our family's love, interest and concern for the wildlife of the world.

We have a large collection of wildlife ranging from Mexican red-kneed tarantulas and snakes through giant tortoises, hornbills, toucans, parrots, owls and pheasants to beautiful snow leopards, magnificent Amur tigers, Hartmann Mountain zebra and Brazilian tapir. Each year new species are brought in, many of them being part of an international captive breeding programme, so the collection's constantly on the increase.

Schools

We have a strong commitment to environmental education and the zoo is a great place to learn all about the creatures with whom we share the world. Our education team can enhance a class visit to the zoo with talks, demonstrations and animal encounters tailored to the relevant curricula/syllabuses so that you get the maximum benefit from your visit ensuring it will be a lesson they will never forget!

Keeper Talks and Animal Encounters

An interactive, hands-on animal encounter is available to book at no extra charge, provided there is at least 20 people from your group in attendance.
