Home of the big zoo animals, Noah’s Ark has grown from a family farm to a modern conservation charity, with a focus on conservation, education, people and wellbeing. The zoo is offering visitors the biggest offer on its ticket prices since it opened, 25% off in July, as a celebration of its landmark birthday this year, designed to help families enjoy an affordable day out during the ongoing cost of living crisis. 

This summer, visitors to the zoo will also be able to join in with the special celebrations and make the most of new activities and attractions.

Larry Bush, Zoo Director, expressed his excitement for summer and the future: "The 25-year journey so far has been incredible, and we’re excited to celebrate with our visitors this summer.”

Bush continued, “This offer is one way that we say thank you to our local community and everyone who has visited Noah’s Ark since the gates opened in 1999. As well as those guests, we are extending this offer as a welcoming invitation, to those who haven’t joined us before. This is a fantastic opportunity for people to spend the day with us and experience Noah’s Ark.”
