Welcome to Exotic Zoo

Exotic Zoo is a family favourite and award-winning small zoo located in the heart of Telford Town Park. We can't wait for you to see it!

Come and Visit Some of Our Really Wild Residents

Explore our Rainforest Zone, Desert Zone, Nocturnal Area, and Farmyard. Exotic Zoo is a great learning experience for young and old visitors alike. Learn about conservation efforts to save endangered animals and even meet some of them in person.

Rainforest Zone

Rainforests span every continent except Antarctica, offering a lush, vibrant world teeming with life. These incredible ecosystems are home to a breath-taking variety of species—from millipedes and armadillos that explore the forest floor to playful marmosets and elusive kinkajous swinging through the treetops. Discover the magic of the rainforest right here at Exotic Zoo, where nature’s most fascinating creatures await!

Farmyard

It’s not all about the exotic animals here at Exotic Zoo, we’ve got plenty of friendly farmyard favorites too! Come and meet our adorable herd of pygmy goats, a charming miniature horse, playful pigs, clucking chickens, and many more lovable barnyard buddies. Be sure to stop by reception to pick up some animal feed and make a few furry (or feathered!) new friends!

Nocturnal Area

Nocturnal animals are nature’s night-time specialists, equipped with incredible adaptations that help them thrive in the dark. At Exotic Zoo, you can meet some of these fascinating creatures of the night, like owls with silent flight, skunks with their famous defense, and agile genets with sharp senses. Discover how these animals are perfectly designed for life after dark!

Natural History Museum

Step back in time at our brand-new Natural History Museum at Exotic Zoo in Telford! Get up close with an incredible real dinosaur skeleton that’s sure to captivate visitors of all ages. Our collection is full of prehistoric wonders, including a full-size T. rex skull, part real, part cast from the famous T. rex "Stan", a fierce sabre-toothed tiger skull, a complete Ichthyosaur, and even a fossilized Elephant Bird egg, the largest egg ever laid. Come explore the ancient world like never before!

Desert Zone

Deserts may look barren, but they’re bursting with life, home to some of the toughest creatures on Earth. At Exotic Zoo, discover how remarkable animals like meerkats, mongooses, and gila monsters have adapted to thrive in the extreme heat and dry conditions. These desert survivors are some of nature’s fiercest and most fascinating species!

The Jungle Cafe at Exotic Zoo is Open

Take a break and refuel at our Jungle Café! Serving up hot meals, delicious cakes, refreshing ice cream, and a range of hot and cold drinks, it’s the perfect spot to relax during your visit. Open to both zoo guests and the passing public—everyone’s welcome to enjoy a taste of the jungle!
