Access guidance
- Newquay Zoo is a leading family visitor attraction in Cornwall and committed to 'Access for All'. We are considered reasonably wheelchair and pushchair friendly, with the majority of routes accessible for all. Some routes have a slightly steep incline or rough path surface, therefore not all paths are easy to manage in a manual wheelchair. Electric scooters and manual wheelchairs can be hired at an additional cost with Independent Living Newquay Ltd. by calling our Reception team on 01637 873342. You can hire a manual wheelchair for £5.00 for the day or hire an electric scooter for £15.00 for the day. (Please note, you must be 16 or over to hire an electric scooter). Bookings for our wheelchairs and scooters can be very popular during our peak season times, so to ensure availability on your preferred day, we advise making a booking at least one week before your visit.
- There are 5 disabled car parking spaces in the Council owned car park adjacent to Newquay Zoo.
- Disabled toilet facilities are located just inside the main entrance of Newquay Zoo and opposite the meerkats at the top end of the zoo. We are also fully registered with Changing Places, the accessible toilet campaign. The Changing Places toilet is located near the entrance to Newquay Zoo, next to the front office and includes a hoist system, adult sized changing bench, adjustable sink, privacy screen and space for one person with a disability and up to two carers. Please note that a sling is not provided in our Changing Places facility.
