New CGI images reveal what Bristol Zoo will look like for visitors at its new location of the Wild Place Project. They give a first glimpse of what people can expect once the project is complete.
The zoo's previous location in Clifton closed last September, and construction of the new site by junction 17 of the M5 is expected to begin in 2024 and will be phased over a number of years.
The new CGI images show plans for a central African forests area, which will be home to the Western lowland gorilla troop from Bristol Zoo Gardens, as well as a conservation learning campus for undergraduate and postgraduate study, where visitors will be able to see scientists at work. There will be a new entrance area featuring a red panda exhibit, as well as a gift shop and restaurant.
