As well as our daily, year-round events which include face painting, animal encounters and our Zoolympics trail, we have also introduced a new animal show for peak season visitors. Please click here for more information about daily talks and shows.

Summer evenings at the Zoo provide a unique setting for theatre, music and dance. This year's line-up will include BOOGIE for Brizzle - the annual festival, two events organised in conjunction with St George’s Bristol. and a range of performances to entertain the whole family. We also celebrate Christmas in style with 'star quality' Carol Evenings, Santa's Grotto and fantastic animal lights.
