Battersea Park Children's Zoo
Attraction Information
Battersea Park Children’s Zoo is the ideal destination for families with young children looking for a fun afternoon out with pint-sized animals. Kids will have a blast getting up close and personal with otters, playful monkeys, donkeys, lemurs, and adorable chipmunks as they explore the zoo’s grounds. For those looking for a bit more adventure, a visit to the Reptile House will provide an opportunity to encounter bearded dragons and other slippery and scaly creatures like snakes, turtles, and even a giant snail!
Kids will also enjoy daily feedings and talks, which offer an opportunity to learn more about their furry friends and get a closer look at them. In addition, the zoo features an adventure playground and sand pit, where children can operate mini diggers, build sandcastles, and have fun climbing, sliding, and jumping on the trampolines. Whether your little ones are animal lovers or just looking for a fun-filled day out, Battersea Park Children’s Zoo has something for everyone.
