Our family and friends have had many happy times here, since the Sampson family took over. I first went age 9 before Peter Sampson took over saw a sad lion and whole place looked sorry for itself.    This is best example of a business/charity I know beautiful animals and beautiful family and staff.   Even though a small zoo they make most of what they have got  always give back beyond themselves.   Always beautifully maintained. The Zoological Society of Hertfordshire needs your help & support now more than ever. Your contribution will make an impact, whether you donate £5 or £100. Every little bit helps. For many years, our family-run wildlife charity has connected people with wildlife to inspire a passion for nature. We've built natural habitats for animals under our care, rescued wildlife, and have contributed millions to saving species around the world.Our Mission is to provide our animals with the best possible environment, enrichment, welfare and care, be actively involved in international Endangered Species Breeding Programmes and make substantial contributions to global wildlife conservation projects.We ask you kindly to support us in any way possible, from donations, animal adoptions, animal experiences, fundraising, and spreading the word about the work we do on-site!
