Here are the top 3 reasons to visit Hertfordshire Zoo this Boxing Day.

1. Walk It Off With a Festive Wildlife Adventure 

After a day (or two!) of indulgent Christmas food, there’s no better way to feel refreshed than a scenic walk around Hertfordshire Zoo. The zoo offers the perfect opportunity to burn off that Christmas dinner while exploring the World of Animals.

A Boxing Day visit to Hertfordshire Zoo isn’t just a walk, it’s an unforgettable experience. See animals enjoying their winter routines and learn more about conservation through engaging talks and signage across the zoo.

Don’t forget to step into the World of Dinosaurs, home to over 40 life-sized animatronic dinosaurs. It’s a huge hit with children and adds an extra layer of excitement to your Boxing Day plans.

This mix of wildlife and prehistoric giants makes Hertfordshire Zoo one of the most unique things to do on Boxing Day in the region.

3. End the Day With Festive Treats & Warm Drinks

After exploring the zoo, refuel with a well-earned treat. From warming hot drinks to indulgent snacks, our catering outlets offer the perfect pit stop to relax and recharge.
