The zoo is more than 170 years old and contains many old buildings, 12 of which are listed. However, most of the zoo is accessible for wheelchair users and those with limited mobility.
- Land of the Lions has a lift available at both ends of the exhibit to enable wheelchair users to access the higher paths.
- Tiger Territory has a lift available for visitors to access the higher viewing platform.
- The historic Lubetkin penguin pool (Grade 1 listed) has limited viewing for wheelchair users and very small children.
The paths may be uneven in some areas, however, some surfaces have been recently resurfaced. There is level or ramped access to most buildings. Please note that the slopes leading to the two tunnels in the zoo are steep.
