Zoo visitor code
We have a code of conduct for visitors to Belfast Zoo. This is to protect our animals as well as the safety of our visitors.
If you are planning a visit to the zoo, you must:
- not feed the animals as they will get sick if they eat too much
- respect the animals by not banging on the glass of their enclosures
- be careful when walking around as some of our hills are very steep
- put all rubbish in bins as it can be dangerous for our animals.

The following terms and conditions apply to entry to Belfast Zoo:
- no dogs are allowed in the zoo

- no ball games
- no scooters, bikes or Heelys
- no unaccompanied children under the age of 16
