About Us

Whatever your age, come and discover this Award-Winning Attraction… we think you’ll be surprised!

Originally opened in 2008 as Filey Bird Garden & Animal Park, Filey Zoo is a well-designed and beautifully maintained family-run attraction surrounded by stunning Yorkshire countryside. It offers a unique blend of exotic and domestic animals and birds, nature and gardens.

With 5 acres to explore, our zoo is the perfect size to give spacious enclosures to over 75 species of animals, birds and reptiles from around the world – but not too big for little feet or older legs!  Within the zoo you’ll also find plenty of other interesting areas including different gardens and wildlife zones. With many places to sit and relax, why not take your time and look a little closer – you never know what you might see and learn.

Whether you’re looking for a fun-filled visit with children, or a peaceful place to spend an afternoon, ‘it’s fun, relaxing and educational for all’.

Our Zoo’s Mission Statement

To inspire a greater understanding and respect for animals, plants, and the environment, through an educational and enjoyable visitor experience.
