Embark on a grand wildlife adventure at ZSL Whipsnade Zoo, nestled in the scenic heart of Bedfordshire’s Chiltern Hills
Discover the UK’s largest zoo, ZSL Whipsnade Zoo, a sprawling 600-acre haven for over 2,500 animals, set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Chiltern Hills in Bedfordshire. Imagine a day spent watching majestic elephants, playful lemurs, and incredible big cats in expansive natural enclosures. For an immersive journey, hop aboard the charming Great Whipsnade Railway steam train, offering unique views of the animal residents and the picturesque surroundings.
Visiting without a car is a delightful part of the adventure. Regular bus services, such as the local route 40 from Dunstable, whisk you directly to the zoo, offering a relaxed way to appreciate the rolling Bedfordshire countryside as you travel. You might even qualify for a 50% admission discount by arriving via public transport! Once inside, explore diverse habitats, from the Passage through Asia to the lively Hullabazoo Farm and exciting new adventure playground.
