Paignton Zoo is not just one of the UK’s top zoos and a great day out; it is also a conservation and education charity and part of a group of zoos and charities. While Living Coasts is an innovative coastal zoo and aquarium where you can take a journey around the coasts of the world and see amazing animals in naturalistic habitats.

Both the Zoo and Living Coasts have an ever changing time table of events, including feeding the penguins or baboons and talks by the keepers. There is a huge variety of animal attractions in Torquay to enjoy from zoos and aquariums, to petting farms and wildlife centres.

Kids of all ages will love to visit the farm animals where you can get involved, pet the miniature pigs, feed the sheep and donkeys, hold the rabbits or wild birds everyone will love getting up close to these beautiful animals.
