Newquay Zoo
A subtropical zoo in Trenance Gardens, home to over a hundred species including red pandas, lemurs and penguins, with a strong focus on conservation.
Newquay Zoo sits beside Trenance Gardens in the town centre. It is small but lush with greenery, and houses about 130 species, including red pandas, ring-tailed lemurs, Humboldt penguins, slender mongooses, capybaras and several endangered birds. It takes part in a number of international conservation breeding programmes. Feeding talks run throughout the day, and there is an indoor tropical house and a children's play area. The paths are gentle and suitable for pushchairs. Adult tickets cost about £20, with discounts for online booking. Next door, Trenance Gardens has a boating lake and a tearoom.
