For the Future...!

In a relatively short space of time we have achieved considerable breeding success, across several rare and endangered species, these include Marbled Polecats and Black and White Ruffed Lemurs.

We have brought in new and highly experienced Keepers from other prestigious animal collections, and under their leadership we hope to continue to strive towards our ultimate goal, which is to;

"Create an appreciation for the natural world by offering a visitor attraction of exceptional quality, suitable for all ages to enjoy. With particular focus on first-hand multi-sensory animal experiences and encounters, first-hand experiences which cannot be gained from books, television or other similar secondary media sources."

Over the next 10 years we fully intend to continue what we have started by developing this fully-fledged family attraction still further, working towards our ultimate aim of becoming the very best small family Zoo in the country!

We hope to achieve this through our dedicated Education and Conservation efforts, whilst striving to provide the very best "value for money" experience we can create for our visitors.

We intend to grow and develop the small mammal side of the zoo with plans to concentrate on a handful of carefully selected species. We will aim to give these animals exciting new enclosures that will hopefully stimulate and enrich their lives, designed to be stress-free and less intrusive, which will allow for a better quality of life.

We want to take down the barriers and the wire mesh, (whilst maintaining the highest possible safety standards) to create more walk-through style exhibits housing mixed species in a multi-habitat type environment, that will allow for a much more naturalistic feel, for the benefit of both our animals and visitors.

The more comfortable and naturalistic the animal enclosures, the happier our animals will be, therefore displaying more of their natural behaviours and hopefully encouraging some of the rarer species to breed more successfully.

If we can do this well, we just might be able to create and inspire successful conservationists of the future, which should be the aim of every good zoo on the planet!

None of this can be achieved without the support of our visitors. Tropical Wings Zoo is entirely self funded and relies on revenue generated from admissions and on-site sales. We receive no grants or funding from local council or governing bodies and would like to thank all its visitors for their continued support.
