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.

Several events are happening in the park throughout the year, including Halloween-themed trails, Autumnfest and Santa’s Enchanted Woodland. During our visit, preparations for The Very Hungry Caterpillar, which is now open, were being made. | Adriana Amor
