In 13 acres, Newquay Zoo is an opportunity to meet more than 130 different species from around the world, explore different exhibits and habitats, learn, and support conservation projects.  There’s a Kids Zone and games, and a number of cafes and restaurants providing ethically sourced food, as well as space for picnics throughout the park.  You can visit at any time of the year, and tickets start at £13.60 for adults, but do remember that it’s one of the largest, not-for-profit charities in Cornwall, with all money going directly back into the zoo and its conservation projects.

Blue Reef Aquarium in Newquay is a wonderful attraction for families, particularly on rainy days.  Dedicated to education, conservation and the creatures it holds dear, they have over 40 naturally themed habitats which take you on a journey from the Cornish waters to exotic seas and bring you face to face with freshwater turtles, jellyfish and puffer fish.  A favourite feature is the aquarium’s ocean tank, where an underwater tunnel offers magical views of the giant Loggerhead turtle, reef sharks and shoals of colourful fish as well.  Parking is available on St Georges Road Car Park (TR7 1JS) or Manor Road Car Park (TR7 1RA) .
