Flamingo, just one of the many species at the zoo.

Features at Blackpool include the Miniature Railway a treat of a ride, which travels from a station near the main entrance to the far side of the Zoo. The track runs through a beautiful woodland setting and offers views of some of our animals. There is also the chance for the younger visitors to get even closer than usual to Blackpool's domestic animals, where they may even be able to feed them!!

Appropriately located near the Ape House, there is a specially designed play area for all the little monkeys to let off steam whilst the neighbouring orang-utans have a leisurely time on their climbing apparatus.

One of the most amazing exhibits at Blackpool, is the state-of-the-art "Swimulator", which allows you to ride with the dolphins - a must for every visitor.

Want to know more about your favourite animal? Then why not pop along to one of the informal talks given by Blackpool's informative keeping staff - talks cover all kinds of species and include the Big Cat talk, the Great Ape talk and the Sealion Feed, displays and information which really lets you know about the wild side of life!!
