Get ready to swish, splash and squelch your way through a new sensory trail
We’re Going on a Bear Hunt is at Bristol Zoo Project!
The award-winning animation, based on the much-loved picture book, will be brought to life through a series of interactive installations — follow in the characters’ footsteps to brave the elements.
Roam through swishy swashy grass, conquer thick oozy mud, brave swirling whirling snowstorms, and tiptoe through a cave in search of real bears.
Fantastic fun for all ages, round up your friends and family and see who will be the first one to spot a bear in real life!
Trail is included within admission.
What to expect from your day...
Find interactive installations on the Bear Wood walkway, emulating the journey undertaken by the family at the heart of the story.
Dive in to feel-good family fun discovering amazing animals from around the world. Get face to face with giraffes on the raised walkway, watch cheetahs prowl and meet lemurs in the walkthrough, with no barriers between you and the animals!
Join us for SpringFest 2024 in May half-term (25 May – 2 June), on Tower Meadow. There'll be entertainment and activities for all ages, including storytelling, giant lawn games and crafts.
Our zoo is designed with nature and our animals’ welfare in mind. Discover large, enriching habitats for our animals and explore woodland paths teeming with native British wildlife.
Find places to play as you explore the zoo, including the undercover Fun Fort play area and the much-loved Barefoot Trail — a treat for toes of any age! Tower Meadow offers acres to roam, perfect for picnics and play.
Tuck in to stone-baked pizzas oozing with cheese, fresh sandwiches, gooey brownies and crumbly cookies and cakes. Treat yourselves to an ice cream from local farm Marshfield’s — will it be decadent chocolate, heavenly honeycomb or succulent strawberry?
