The welsh owl garden has been open for 4 years today! Today we want to celebrate all the memories over the last four years, and show how much the zoo and the family that started it all has grown!
Thank you @ThePictonCastle for letting us grow and educate in such a pretty place

Theres always lots to see and do at the zoo, and for the price of admission you also get to explore the wonderful gardens and house of @ThePictonCastle make sure to pop into Marias for a warm cuppa and some cake on the wetter days, or an ice cream on the sunny ones!

What a fantastic day out. Came across this gem looking for an escape room and came up with the @mansionofmyste1. After doing a brilliant escape room, we spent the rest of the day looking around the castle, gardens and owl sanctuary. A brilliant place, well worth the visit

Question time! Which one of these otter species prefers to live a solitary lifestyle?

[The Welsh Owl Garden @owl_welsh]

Strut your stuff Thor, turning catwalk into birdwalk

We love getting reviews like this! We work hard to show species not often seen around the UK, and all of our enclosures are made by hand by our amazing keeping team to match the naturalistic feel of @ThePictonCastle gardens

[The Welsh Owl Garden @owl_welsh]

Dont miss our dynamic duo at 3pm! Our two barn owls close our last flying display of the day, not around for the show? Thats okay you can also find them in the avairies throughout the day

It’s going to be another hot and sunny day we would like to remind our visitors to enjoy the zoo safely, stick to the shade where possible and stay hydrated

We have a few nesting birds at the zoo and we are looking forward to the little squawks of baby birds!
So please be mindful of this and give our birds a quiet and peaceful nesting experience and a little extra space so they feel safe on their nests
Thank you for your cooperation

Yoshi is an expert in our flying displays and has been doing our 11am show longer than most of our keepers! He is the grumpy old man of our display team but we love him just as much as all the others

[The Welsh Owl Garden @owl_welsh]

Our larger reptiles are back on display! This includes our reticulated python Ethal who is definitely a crowd favourite, or at least a keeper favourite 😂🙈

[The Welsh Owl Garden @owl_welsh]

We have a wide range of birds here at the zoo as well as reptiles, mammals and invertebrates 🤩 whilst enjoying the zoo make sure to also check out picton castle, gardens ( @ThePictonCastle ) marias cafe and for the escape room enthusiasts @mansionofmyste1
