Northumberland Zoo

About

Northumberland Zoo is a family‑run, not‑for‑profit attraction that opened its doors in 2011 on the picturesque Felton hillside. Home to more than 80 species – from tiny harvest mice to awe‑inspiring snow leopards – the zoo offers visitors a uniquely intimate wildlife experience in a 20‑acre countryside setting. Regular keeper talks, feeding displays, and dedicated habitats such as the River Walk and the Rainforest Lookout bring the animals alive and provide endless opportunities for discovery. The zoo’s strong partnership with conservation charities, including the Snow Leopard Trust and BIAZA, underscores its commitment to protecting endangered species while educating the public.
