Park Children's Zoo is home to a host of glorious creatures. There are farmyard animals, flamingos, otters and monkeys, as well as peacocks which roam the enclosure.
It is a beautiful spot, and a friendly well-run attraction which was saved from closure after a year-long struggle between the council and local residents. Although comparatively small, Battersea Park Children's Zoo is a wonderful institution. The animals are clearly happy in their, mainly outdoor, accommodation and the setting itself is magical. This is a great place to go with younger children as part of a stroll round the Battersea area.
