Set in 33 acres of beautiful woodland on the edge of Dartmoor with some stunning views of the surrounding countryside, Dartmoor Zoo is a unique zoo with a fantastic collection of animals. These include lions, tiger, cheetah, jaguar, lynx, wolves, tapir, capybara, meerkats, monkeys, a fantastic collection of bugs and reptiles and much more. Home of the Hollywood film “We bought a Zoo”, Dartmoor Zoo is a charity dedicated to wildlife conservation, education and research. We work hard to ensure that the development of the zoo does not have an adverse effect on the beautiful woodland environment which makes it quite unique among zoos. The restaurant or kiosk are great places to stop off for a coffee and cake, or a freshly cooked lunch from local produce too!
The 59 service runs 6 days a week.
