In wet weather (or in days following) please wear appropriate clothing as parts of the farm will be muddy. Hoo Zoo sits on a natural floodplain, therefore wellington boots are vital if visiting during or just after wet weather.

Animal enclosures at Hoo Zoo are set up for the enjoyment of our animals, they are not forced to sit on display and may require looking for. Our carnivores are fed a natural diet meaning you may see whole dead prey items (such as dead chicks) in their enclosure. 

Only service dogs are allowed on site. 

Please check our daily timetable before booking. We also recommend downloading our app via the link below as this will give you up to date information on the activities taking place on the day of your visit.
