Welcome to Paignton Zoo

Under 5s

The Education Centre provides lots of fun activities for playgroups, nurseries and family groups. We have a classroom specially designed for early years, Hullabaloo, with experienced and qualified staff.

Hullabaloo is open to children with their parents or carers on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 12.30 p.m. to 3.30 p.m. during term times with longer hours during school holidays. Zoo-themed play includes painting, craft, puzzles, book corner and puppet theatre. The garden provides opportunities to play in a safe environment.

We offer a variety of pre-booked sessions to support the Foundation Stage curriculum. There are excellent education discount rates which allow one free adult per two paying children.

Activity sessions may be out in the Zoo or classroom based.
