Camperdown Wildlife Centre
Welcome to Camperdown Wildlife Centre, one of Dundee’s most loved family attractions and home to an exciting collection of animals from around the world. Set within the beautiful Camperdown Country Park, our wildlife centre offers a relaxed, friendly environment where visitors of all ages can explore, learn and enjoy a memorable day out. Whether you’re passionate about wildlife or simply searching for fun things to do in Dundee, our little zoo is the perfect place to get closer to nature.
Our residents include European brown bears, ring‑tailed lemurs, meerkats, hyacinth macaws and a wide range of other animals and birds. Several of the animals in our care are threatened or endangered in the wild and your visit helps support our ongoing commitment to conservation, education and high‑quality animal welfare.
We’re open all year round, simple to get to from Dundee and nearby towns and only about 90 minutes from Aberdeen, Edinburgh or Glasgow. With free parking, family‑friendly facilities, a picnic area and an all‑day ticket, you can explore the park at your own pace. Before you arrive, take a moment to check our opening times, prices and visitor information and feel free to book your tickets ahead of time for a smooth arrival.
For those looking to make their visit even more special, we offer a range of pre-bookable animal encounters and behind‑the‑scenes experiences. These sessions provide a unique chance to meet our animals up close and learn from our knowledgeable keepers.
Stay connected with us on social media for updates, events and animal news. We look forward to welcoming you soon!
