Following news this week of another closure, the Welsh Mountain Zoo - National Zoo of Wales, is appealing to friends and supporters of the Zoo to give an animal-tastic gift this Christmas.

For animal lovers, perfect gifts include Animal Adoptions, vouchers for Animal Encounter and Keeper for the Day experiences, gift tickets and gift vouchers for the shop. Those looking to simply support the Zoo, and its many residents, will be able to donate a fixed amount to help fund a dinner for one animal this Christmas time.

Literary lovers can purchase a copy of children’s book, ‘A Dream Day at the Zoo’ written by two of the Zoo’s Keepers. The book was born out of a desire to support the Zoo in the face of escalating financial pressures during the pandemic.

Jen Jesse, Director of Administration and Operations of the Welsh Mountain Zoo commented: “We have sadly been forced to close our gates once again following the announcement of latest Welsh Government guidelines.

"Given this most recent development, and without any news of when we can expect to open again, we really do need to explore new ways of generating additional revenue.

“We have some fantastic gifts available that will appeal to a broad audience and make a wonderful present. All can be purchased either via the website or by calling the Zoo. As ever, we are truly grateful for the support we have, and continue to, receive as we make our way through these very difficult times.”
