Without them, Christmas can't happen! We need your help to save the day by finding the final 8 missing baubles. A festive treat awaits all those who succeed!

😌 ALTERNATIVE OPTION
For those looking for an alternative option, we also have themed sensory bags and spotter sheets that enable you to enjoy the trail's magic in a more accessible way.

♿️ 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.
