About

Plumpton Park offers the perfect blend of big zoo animals and small zoo comfort. Come see animals like Kazar the Giraffe, Louie the Black Bear, and Zoe the Zebra along with Alexis and Miracle the Siberian Tigers in a very close and intimate setting. We're a wonderful destination for children and families as well as animal lovers of all ages. There is also a shaded picnic area and snack bar.

We have a gift shop and a snack stand. Visitors to the zoo can also purchase petting zoo food and hand-feed some of the zoo's friendly animals. The Plumpton Park Zoo is operated for the purpose of exhibiting animals to the public for education and conservation, while at the same time providing a home for exotic animals that are in need of homes.
