Twycross Zoo

Travel Information and nearby accommodation

With over 1000 animals, Twycross boasts the largest collection of primate species in the Western hemisphere. Much of the focus at Twycross is on the World Primate Centre, but there is also a very large collection of mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates to enjoy. The zoo stretches over 40 acres of open Leicestershire countryside, so there is plenty of room for the animals to roam about - and lots for visitors to explore!

Among the huge primate collection are Ruffed Lemurs, Bornean Orangutans, and Golden Lion Tamarins, among many others. Twycross is run as a charitable trust, and provides an ongoing educational programme of events aimed at giving children a better understanding of our natural world.
