Bristol Zoo a great place to visit

Bristol Zoo Gardens’ new meerkat exhibit, called Meerkat Lookout, has been officially unveiled to the public today (Monday, Feb 21).

The state-of-the-art enclosure was opened by 11-year-old Joe Romain, from Brentry, who cut the ribbon after winning a competition run by the Bristol Evening Post to name the new attraction.

Builders have been hard at work over the winter months, constructing the meerkats’ new £100,000 home. At 152 square metres in size, it is over three times bigger than the previous enclosure, with space for up to 25 meerkats.

It has indoor and outdoor areas for the meerkats and the public, a tunnel and two viewing domes for visitors to get up-close to the animals at eye-level. It even has cameras hidden inside the meerkats’ nest boxes so visitors can see them playing or sleeping even when they are off show. The nest box cameras can also show visitors when the meerkats have produced babies.
