Marwell Zoological Park opened in 1972 as one of the earliest zoos in Europe to emphasise animal conservation. It’s one of the leading institutes in the field, rearing, for instance, 200 oryx. The charity family attraction sits in the 100-acre grounds of Marwell Hall, a Grade I manor built around 1320 by Walter Woodlock.
The Park is visited by over half a million visitors a year, and the focus is on animals from 250 species, notably rare breeds like (Siberian) Amur tigers, as well as many Leopards.
The family attraction is divided into themed sections which can be seen on foot or via Marwell Zoological Park’s road train, free to ticket holders and running every 20 minutes from The Ark Gift Shop.
Marwell Zoological Park is on Colden Common, Winchester, Hampshire,UK and is a very popular family attraction in beautiful countryside. Read more about the zoo HERE
