Our animals need you

Please help the animals of Paignton Zoo during this difficult time.

We have been overwhelmed by the support that we have received so far, from so many people. Not only the direct donations to this page and by post, but all the amazing people and businesses who are fundraising on our behalf.

The money is helping us to care for our animals who eat top quality food and have specialist diets to keep them fit and healthy. Our dedicated keepers and expert vets continue to do everything they can to care for the animals to the very highest standards.

While we remain closed (which we will be for a while), and do not have money coming in from normal ways such as you buying a ticket or even a coffee, we are extremely grateful for the donations that you are giving us. So please continue to support us by giving what you can.

Unfortunately, you can’t volunteer to shovel dung or chop food, and you certainly can’t take home a monkey to look after, but you can donate cash or go to our Amazon Wishlist, so that we can keep giving the animals the care they deserve. Every one-off gift will help an animal.

You won’t be able to see the difference you’ll be making right now, of course, because we’re shut – but when this is all over and we open again, you’ll be able to walk around our zoos and know that you helped the animals through those tough times.

Paignton Zoo is a special place, home to special animals - gorillas, rhinos, frogs, spiders, flamingos, parrots and many, many more. It means so much to so many people. The sights, the sounds and yes, even the smells of Paignton Zoo make it what it is – a great zoo in a great community.

Thank you for your donation.
