Twycross Zoo is dedicated to preserving

threatened species whilst providing

education, study and wonder for

our many visitors. Through

our successful breeding

programmes we are

providing a safe

haven for wildlife

in an increasingly

crowded planet.

Your visit here will

help us build upon

past successes

and maintain our

strong commitment

to conservation,

education and

research.

Chimpanzees and bonobos

(like our friend left) are human’s

closest living relative; in fact, they

share 98% of our DNA. Bonobos

are currently only found naturally in

the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Twycross Zoo is part of a worldwide

breeding programme that has produced

seven babies in recent years. Our bonobos

are currently the only ones in the UK. The

bonobos are just part of our world class

collection of primates. Here you’ll find

everything from gibbons to gorillas,

chimpanzees to Colobus monkeys

and lemurs to orang utans.

We aretheonly zooin

the United Kin

gdom to keep bonobos. All snakes, including this one, arevery good

swimmers, although

most avoid water.Dusk

Here at Twycross we care about our visitors as well

as our animals. We have four cafeterias, the largest

with a licensed bar that is open during the summer.

In addition there are lovely picnic areas and if it

should rain most of the animal houses are under

cover. There are two easily accessible shops in the

zoo and a children’s adventure playground. We also

have a fantastic new play area with rides suitable

for young childen (additional charges apply).

We are delighted to offer group catering but

you will need to call in advance and book

menus. Twycross Zoo is also a unique

venue for business meetings, conferences

and events. Call 01827 880250 to

discuss any of the above.

First Aid, Lost Children and Property

Adopt an animal Six good reasons to adopt an animal

1. Twycross Zoo is a registered charity, financially

self-supporting from visitor admission fees and in-zoo

sales. All income is ploughed back into running costs

and development.

2. You will be actively supporting the captive breeding

of rare monkeys, apes and other endangered

species.

3. You will help us to further our education

programmes for schools, universities

and the general public.

4. You will allow us to collaborate

with zoo staff, scientists and

conservationists worldwide

as part of a global conservation

movement.

5. You will be contributing to your favourite

animal’s upkeep.

6. You will get free admission for one

person for one year.

Who can adopt?

Anyone, from an animal lover to a parent, child or school.

A perfect gift for family, friends or just for YOU!

How much does it cost?

Well, elephants don’t come cheap! Each one costs

£3,000 to look after for one year. £400 will just about

pamper a penguin. If you want to take on that lot, it’s

fine by us. If not, don’t worry - you can adopt your

favourite animal, either for £40 (single person

adoption) or £80 (two person adoption). All

animals at Twycross are eligible for adoption.

Business sponsorship is also available. To find

out how to sponsor an animal please contact

the zoo.

What do I get?

The £40 package includes free admission

for one person to Twycross Zoo for a year,

a yearly passport, a badge, a car sticker,

a picture of your chosen animal and your

own Twycross Zoo adoption folder!

The £80 package includes all of the

above as well as an outside plaque

and free admission to the Zoo for two

people for a year.
