Belfast is a great place for a family day out, and what better way to spend it than visiting some of the amazing zoos and wildlife parks? From furry creatures to fascinating reptiles, Belfast has it all.
One of the top attractions in Belfast is Belfast Zoo, located just a few miles from the city centre. With over 1,200 animals and 140 species from around the world, it's a must-visit for any animal lover. From cheeky chimps to majestic lions, there's something for everyone to enjoy. The zoo also offers a range of interactive experiences, such as the chance to feed the giraffes or get up close with the penguins.
If you're looking for something a little different, check out the Exploris Aquarium in nearby Portaferry. Here, you can explore the amazing underwater world and get up close and personal with everything from graceful rays to menacing sharks. There's also a touch pool where you can get hands-on with some of the smaller creatures, as well as daily feeding shows and talks.
For a more hands-on experience, head to the Ark Open Farm. This family-run attraction is home to a range of friendly animals, including cows, sheep, pigs and horses, as well as some more unusual creatures like alpacas and emus. There are also tractor rides, a play park, and plenty of indoor and outdoor play areas to keep the little ones entertained.
