Group Bookings at Brooklands Zoo

Group visits are welcome at Brooklands Zoo. If you wish to bring a school group or any sort of large group to Brooklands Zoo for a visit we need to know in advance so we can book you in and avoid too many group visits on one day as the zoo can quickly become congested with people.

Food and the Zoo

We welcome all types of groups but if your group is coming with pre-prepared food please remember that being a small zoo there is limited seating areas. Feeding of any of the zoo animals; including picking flowers or plants, is strictly prohibited. All the zoo animals are fed well balanced specialist diets and feeding them any other types of food can be very harmful to their health. There is a drinking fountain at the zoo.

Educational Keeper Talks

Depending on staff availability on the day you book we can offer short educational keeper talks and/or short tours of the zoo. This is strictly a pre-book only service and subject to availability of staff. Talks or tours are limited to one per day and for groups of no larger than 20 people per keeper.

Booking Conditions

1. No balloons, straws or party decorations may be taken into the zoo grounds (as they could get into the animal enclosures and the animals could choke on them if swallowed. We also use the zoo for grazing our farm animals when the zoo is closed).
2. Feeding of the animals; including picking flowers or plants, is strictly prohibited. All the zoo animals are fed a well balanced specialist diet and feeding any other foods can be harmful to their health.

4. Indoor picnics are not permitted in the farmyard barn nor are barbecues anywhere in the zoo grounds.
