The Gruffalo Discovery Land at Twycross Zoo
A MESSAGE FROM OUR CEO...
After reviewing your feedback and assessing the area ourselves, we've noticed that some parts of The Gruffalo Discovery Land don't meet the high standards we set for Twycross Zoo.
To ensure your visits are always memorable, we will temporarily close this attraction, to carry out essential refurbishments.
We understand this might disappoint some of our younger visitors and families, but it is crucial for enhancing your overall experience. Alongside necessary repairs, we're excited to introduce new interactive activity areas, designed to offer a more engaging and educational experience.
We appreciate your support, understanding and patience as we work hard to bring these improvements to life.
Discover Mouse, Fox, Owl, Snake – and of course the Gruffalo himself – along your interactive journey through the deep, dark wood. Alongside the much-loved characters from the bestselling children’s book The Gruffalo written by Julia Donaldson and illustrated by Axel Scheffler, you’ll be introduced to real-life owls, snakes, butterflies and more.
The Gruffalo Discovery Land is included in your Twycross Zoo admission!
