Welcome to Paignton Zoo

Under 5s

Hullabaloo, our under 5s room, is equipped for lots of fun and craft activities for playgroups, nurseries and family groups.

To support the Early Years Curriculum, we offer pre-school teaching in Hullabaloo. Activity sessions last approximately 45 minutes and include an informal chat, stories, pictures and art activities to take home. There are excellent group discount rates with one adult free with two paying children.

Hullabaloo is open to the public on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 1.00 p.m. to 3.00 p.m. The room may also be booked by pre-school groups for their own use.
