Battersea Park Children's Zoo

Battersea Park Children's Zoo

A small, charming zoo run by a family who also run wildlife parks in Derbyshire and an otter and owl sanctuary in the New Forest. Living alongside the usual rabbits, goats, sheep and chickens are more exotic (some endangered) species such as meerkats, lemurs, Asian short-clawed otters, a Vietnamese pot-bellied pig, monkeys, emus, tortoises and talking mynah birds. In the meerkats’ enclosure children can make their way down a tunnel to pop out on a level with the creatures. Battersea Park Children's Zoo also has indoor and outdoor play areas, picnic tables, a coffee shop and nappy-changing facilities. Birthday parties can be booked.
