Planning your visit to Marwell

We're parents too. We understand that a great day out requires getting the basics right. We keep it simple:

• Open daily from 10am
  We close between 4pm-6pm depending on time of year (and all day on Christmas and Boxing Day).
• Easy to get to + plenty of free parking
  We're signposted from the M3 and M27.
• Family friendly food (or bring your picnic)
  We have cafe's, kiosks and picnic areas.
• Clean toilets and baby-changing facilities
  As we said - we're parents too!
• Road Train
  Our FREE road train runs regularly around the front loop of the park (subject to availability).
• Adventure playgrounds
  Children love watching the animals - but they still need to run, swing and slide! 

We’re making some changes at the zoo...

We’re delighted to be in the middle of a 10 year period during which we will spend £17m on developing the zoo. This includes our new £8m Tropical House exhibit showcasing a host of new species including colourful and charismatic mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish and insects. As a result, our old Tropical World is now closed for development.

Remember to keep an eye out for our recent new arrivals and watch this space for any updates.
