A big conservation zoo in Leicestershire that recently added capybaras and now lets you into the habitat to feed the herd.
Sold through the zoo's Feed Our Animals experiences rather than as a standalone capybara ticket. Price and duration are not clearly published — confirm when booking.
Unconfirmed We could not fully confirm the details here. Treat everything as a lead and check the official site before you go.
The newest capybaras in the UK line-up, at the biggest zoo on it.
Twycross is a large conservation zoo best known for primates, and the capybaras are a recent arrival. The experience puts you inside the habitat with the herd, feeding them, rather than watching from the path.
It sits inside the zoo's broader "Feed Our Animals" programme rather than being sold as a headline capybara ticket, which is why the details are thinner than at the smaller parks. That is worth knowing before you build a day around it.
This is an accredited conservation zoo running an encounter, not a capybara venue. If what you want is a room, a drink and forty-five minutes, that does not exist in Europe — and Twycross is not pretending otherwise.
Marked unverified here because we could not read a current price, duration or age limit off the zoo's own pages. Confirm all three when you book.
Details change – always confirm hours, prices, and booking on the official site before you travel. Animal encounters are subject to each venue's welfare rules.
