Bristol Zoo. Bristol Zoological Society will develop a new world-class Bristol Zoo at its Wild Place Project site on the northern edge of Bristol which will set the standard for a modern forward-looking zoo in the 21st century. Several of its buildings including the entrance lodge are listed and today regarded as inadequate or inappropriate for the animals they were built for.
The conservation breeding centre will feature climate-controlled enclosures biosecure breeding rooms outdoor ponds and aviaries. Open to the public since 1836 Bristol Zoo is one of the oldest zoos in the world. But and it is quite a big but the catering facilities for humans are very poor.
