Gruffalo Discovery Land coming to Twycross Zoo in the spring

Children will be able to meet Fox, Owl, Snake, Mouse and the Gruffalo in an interactive journey through the deep, dark wood.

Twycross Zoo has revealed its new attraction as a Gruffalo themed discovery land.

The four-acre land will bring together the much-loved characters, from The Gruffalo, inspired by the bestselling children’s book written by Julia Donaldson and illustrated by Axel Scheffler.

The aim is to teach children about the importance of conservation and protecting the natural world.

In the attraction there will be real-life animals, animatronics and film clips and children will get the chance to meet Fox, Owl, Snake, Mouse and the Gruffalo in the deep, dark wood.

Visitors will be able to explore the Treetop House play area, wander around Butterfly Paradise and enjoy a feast in the Oh Crumbs! Café.
