Small zoo in Telford Town Park with themed zones - rainforest, desert, outback, and nocturnal - housing capybara, lemurs, meerkats, armadillos, and crocodiles.
🏆 Funzaroo Verdict
Best for families with children of any age who want close-up animal interaction rather than a large safari-style zoo. The VIP encounters with lemurs, armadillos, and otters are the standout offering - knowledgeable keepers lead each session and answer questions throughout.

“Had an amazing time today at the Exotic Zoo in Telford All the animals looked happy and relaxed and the layout is perfect for families, young and old. There are great facilities including talks; opportunities to get closer to the animals, and a great seating area. The shop is lovely with reasonably priced gifts and the cafe is excellent. The woodland walk is full of information and great for children as it's not too far to walk, and the option to feed the farm animals as you go around is a nice touch. I loved every minute and feel the day was fantastic value for money. Brilliant to see such passion and genuine concern for animals and their habitats. A great day out at a reasonable cost!”

“Lovely place with friendly and knowledgeable staff and volunteers. We did the lemur feeding experience with Kennedy who was a wonderful host; happy to answer any questions we had. Rose, Bramble, Julian, and Juliet were a joy to meet! It’s especially lovely that all proceeds from the lemur experience go towards the Plant A Tree Madagascar charity. We also loved looking at all the genuine fossils in the small museum, as well as learning about the legless lizards at the keeper talk! Would absolutely recommend and visit again :)”

“What a lovely Zoo. Great selection of rare animals. We especially liked the Rainforest part, where Ollie, the volunteer, was very engaging, answering all our questions, telling us all about the animals and allowing to touch the stickman which was walking on his hand. Thank you , Ollie!”
