Understanding our animal-first approach

At Hamilton Zoo, our top priority is the well-being of our animals. Due to their natural behaviours and needs, we don't have a consistent schedule for Animal Encounters. These experiences are animal-led, allowing our animals to participate voluntarily, and ensuring they remain happy and healthy.

Thank you for understanding, and supporting our commitment to animal welfare.
