Telford's Exotic Zoo is facing a tough winter season due to rising costs and decreased visitor numbers. To help weather the storm, the zoo is hosting a special 'Night-Time At The Zoo' event on June 7th, with all proceeds going towards animal care and operational expenses.
Exotic Zoo in Telford is facing a winter fundraising challenge to keep its animals warm and fed. The zoo has launched an appeal and is hosting a special 'Night-Time At The Zoo' event on Saturday, June 7th. All ticket sales from the event will go towards helping the zoo through a difficult period marked by rising costs and lower visitor numbers during the colder months.
Owner, Scott Adams, explained that the zoo has been hit by soaring utility bills and anticipates a significant drop in attendance during winter. The zoo is closed on weekdays throughout January and for two weeks in February, further impacting their revenue. Despite these financial pressures, the zoo remains committed to keeping entry prices affordable and is refusing to raise its admission fees. Scott emphasized the zoo's dedication to providing an accessible experience for everyone. Residents from Telford, Shropshire, and surrounding areas are encouraged to purchase tickets for the 'Night-Time At The Zoo' event and contribute to the zoo's winter survival fund. The event offers a unique opportunity to explore the zoo after dark, witnessing nocturnal animals in their element. Visitors can also enjoy live music and a barbecue feast
