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.

10. Sanctuary gardens
A beautiful garden, which is a perfect spot for a picnic. It has a gazebo-covered round picnic table and a sheltered bench. | Adriana Amor
11. Restaurants
There are multiple catering options in the parks, from the Courtyard Cafe and Benoué Barista Box to Base Camp Pizzeria, Marshfield Ice Cream, and Bearies & Nuts. There is a board at the entrance informing visitors of which catering services are open on the day and at what times. | Adriana Amor
12. Discover Madagascar
Home to pygmy goats Joe and Toby, Discover Madagascar also has lemur walkthrough facilities. Visitors can see the lemurs up close as they roam around the walkthrough. A family of four Lake Alaotra gentle lemurs can be found in the second section. The Lemur Walk-through is open between 12pm and 3pm. | Adriana Amor
