Become a Young Zoo Explorer and discover a whole new fascinating world at Paignton Zoo.

Join us for four fun events and develop super sleuthing skills when you go bug hunting and animal tracking, learn more about aquatic critters when you go pond dipping, and help with keeping the animals in the Zoo entertained when you grow herbs and sunflowers to make toys for them to play with!

Graduate as a Zoo Explorer and enjoy free entry to the Zoo all year!
We really hope that as a Young Zoo Explorer you will join us for all four events. At your first event you will be given an Explorer’s passport and at the end of each event you will receive a stamp to show that you have successfully completed the day’s exploring. Collect all four stamps and you will qualify as an expert Zoo Explorer. At your graduation ceremony you will receive a certificate and a year’s membership to the Zoo. And – as if that wasn’t enough – TV wildlife expert Nick Baker will be on hand to give a talk. So what are you waiting for? LET’S GO EXPLORING!
