♿️ IS THE ZOO ACCESSIABLE?
(Whatsup Bedfordshire advice)

The parking is on gravel stones so this maybe hard to navigate a wheelchair. Although it does mention on the website that you can park infront of the Farm Shop which is tarmac ideal for wheelchair users. The farm shop, Steak House & Tea room are accessible. On a winter day you may find the zoo area paths are muddy, with some gravel paths and grass, so it maybe hard to push a wheelchair in places. There is a wooden slat ramp to the Tropical house.
🚻 Accessible toilets - Accessible toilets are available in both the Steakhouse and Tea room.

🎟 NO BOOKING REQUIRED, JUST PAY ON THE GATE BY CASH OR CARD!
(Prices have gone up 50p this year)
