Isle of Wight Zoo

Home to Britain's largest collection of tigers, the award winning Isle of Wight Zoo has been a dedicated ally to the tiger for over a quarter of a century. The Zoo also cares for a wide range of other animals including lions, leopards, jaguars, lemurs, monkeys, snakes, spiders and lizards.

All the animals are housed in a wide variety of naturalistic enclosures that encourage them to display their natural behaviours. During your visit you can take in The Tiger Sanctuary, Lemurland and Nature's Nightmares. The Zoo's newly opened Kanha Enclosure has recently been described as one of the best new zoo enclosures in the world.

The dedicated education officer is on hand to deal with school groups, while the commitment to education and conservation is highlighted in the popular keeper presentations that take place throughout the day.

The Isle of Wight Zoo is situated on the eastern side of the Island overlooking Sandown Bay's beautiful seafront complete with safe, sandy beaches and cliff walks. Sandown is clearly sign posted from all the main towns and ferry terminals.
