The Wild Place Project near Cribbs Causeway has started to rebrand itself as the Bristol Zoo Project as it starts to merge with now closed Bristol Zoo Gardens.
Among the species moving to the new facilities are: the western lowland gorillas, blue-eyed black lemurs, Polynesian tree snails, Mindanao bleeding heart dove, Tarictic hornbill, Socorro dove, European turtle dove, turquoise gecko, lemur leaf frog and Corfu killifish.
The Wild Place Project officially opened to the public in July 2013. It is run by the Bristol Zoological Society and centres around conservation programmes.
We decided to visit the Wild Place Project to see what it offers on a weekday and here are 13 photos of our visit.
5. Animal talks
There are multiple animal talks available on the day of your visit. Talks include Ostrich talk on weekends and school holidays, Bear Wood talk, Giraffe Talk, Lemus Talk and Feed, and Meerkat Talk and Feed. The new Philippine spotted deer talk is being introduced in the summer holidays. Information on the talks can be found on the board by the entrance. | Adriana Amor
6. Picnic spots
There are numerous picnic spots scattered across the park both sheltered and in the open. Some spots include next to the entrance to the Bear Wood and by the Geladas. | Adriana Amor
7. Benoué National Park
The Giraffe House can be found in this section. Visitors can get a close "face-to-face" view of the giraffes during feeding time from the balcony floor. Zebras, elands, red river hogs, ostriches and cheetahs can also be found in this section of the park. The Giraffe House closes at 4.30pm. | Adriana Amor
8. Tower meadow
A vast field adorned with some art pieces by local artists, a playing area and picnic tables for visitors to enjoy, a tower is at the centre of the field. On a dry day, it is the perfect spot to lay a picnic blanket. | Adriana Amor
