Hoo Zoo and Dinosaur World

Hoo Zoo and Dinosaur World Hoo Zoo and Dinosaur World, formerly known as Hoo Farm Animal Kingdom is a small family run zoo in Shropshire.

TripAdvisors 2nd Best Zoo in the UK for 2023, 2024, 2025 & 2026.. Celebrating their 30th birthday in 2021, Hoo Farm Animal Kingdom took the huge step of relaunching as Hoo Zoo and Dinosaur World. With over 100 species of animals, 30 animatronic dinosaurs and activities taking place all day Hoo Zoo really is a fun day out whatever the age. Hoo Zoo and Dinosaur World launched back in 1991 as Hoo Far

m Country Park and over the past 30 years has become one of the midlands premier attractions - even winning National Farm Park of the year along the way. In 2004 the farm became a licensed zoo and hasn’t looked back. Now the zoo is home to not just sheep, cows, pigs and horses but other zoo favourites such as Meerkats, Lemurs, Servals, Caracal and even Wolves. Hoo Zoo and Dinosaur World is extremely passionate about conservation with a strong message throughout the zoo of conservation through education. This is put across through the fun informative meet and greets that take place but also the renowned animal experiences (advanced booking essential). Whilst being great fun, the new dinosaurs are an important part of this message with it being more important than ever that steps are made to stop us going the way of the…..well dinosaurs! It's strongly recommended that customers prebook their tickets at www.hoo-zoo.com due to limited capacities.

Skunk nibble noises ☺️
I'm not sure which is more satisfying - the nibbly ASMR sounds or the gorgeous soft coats these guys are sporting! 🥰

Today, we had an amazing opportunity to visit

and meet the brilliant

Nigel is a true wildlife legend, best known for shows including Prehistoric Park, Chased by Dinosaurs and Sea Monsters. His programmes played a huge part in bringing prehistoric life to the screen for an entire generation.

I took Bramble along to meet him, and we were lucky enough to grab a quick chat before Nigel began his Q&A. Even Nigel agreed that Bramble might now be the most famous dinosaur in the UK!

It was a genuinely special moment for me. Another childhood hero officially ticked off Ranger Chris's list.

A huge thank you to Nigel for taking the time to chat with us and to everyone at Hoo Zoo for making us feel so welcome. What an amazing day!
