Hull's Local zoo - right on your doorstep!
Located within East Park, the Animal Education Centre is host to a wide range of different domestic, farm and exotic animals. The centre hosts a range of events to engage and educate people of all ages about animals and wider nature and environmental topics. Our aim is to educate more people in Hull about wildlife not only from around the world, but also in their own backyard.
Take a visit to our Animal Education Centre and learn more from our information boards about the different range of animals. You can find out information on diet and habitat as well as how endangered some species are. The Animal Education Centre is free to visit and is the perfect way to learn more about nature in an urban environment.
The walkthrough enclosure is temporarily closed.
