A visit to a zoo, aquarium or animal attraction whilst you're in Devon is a great idea. They're a great day out for all ages, and in all weathers.
We have lots of attractions that wildlife enthusiasts will love. From the large - such as the National Marine Aquarium in Plymouth, and Paignton Zoo - to the smaller, all are great at educating and entertaining on the subject of native or exotic animals or marine life.
Paignton Zoo has a collection of about 2,000 animals representing nearly 300 species. Based on visitor feedback, it was named by TripAdvisor as the third best zoo in the UK
The National Marine Aquarium in Plymouth is the largest aquarium in the UK. As well as being home to many international species, it explores local Devon waters too, being divided into four main zones: Plymouth Sound, British Coasts, Atlantic Ocean and Blue Planet
The Donkey Sanctuary near Sidmouth is one of the largest equine charities in the world. It’s a charitable organisation devoted to the welfare of donkeys.
In 2018 Exmoor Zoo welcomed a trio of African wild dogs – feared to be the next dog species in the wild to become extinct
Dartmoor Zoological Park was bought by Benjamin Mee in August 2006 . He moved in with his two children Milo and Ella and reopened the zoo in July 2007, and later wrote a book, We Bought a Zoo, about his experiences. A 2011 film of the same title was loosely based on the book
Exmoor Zoo is noted for its conservation work with Humboldt penguins, lemurs, tamarins and marmosets
Paignton Zoo opened in 1923 - one of the earliest combined zoological and botanical gardens in Britain and the first that was opened with education as its mission
