Accessibility

Welcoming everyone to a historic hill farm

We want everyone to enjoy their visit, and we’re committed to making the site as accessible as we can. Because the zoo is built on a historic hill farm, some areas have natural slopes and uneven terrain — here’s an honest picture so you can plan.

Visit and accessibility FAQs

Booking online is recommended, especially at weekends and during school holidays, but you can also buy tickets on arrival.

Yes. An annual pass is available through our booking system — you can select it when you book. It offers unlimited visits and helps support our conservation work. Online booking moves onto this site soon; the pass is unaffected.

Yes. Visitors who require a carer or support person may bring them free of charge. Please bring relevant documentation when you arrive.

Many parts of the zoo are fully accessible, including the main zoo area, the step-free Australia Walkthrough, and the café, shop and main facilities. Because we are built on a historic hill farm, some enclosures and paths have steeper gradients, uneven ground or natural surfaces that may be challenging for wheelchair users. If you have access needs, please contact us before your visit for personalised advice.

Yes — accessible parking spaces are available close to the entrance.

The Dizzy Duck Café sits next to the entrance to the gift shop and zoo. It offers hot food, drinks and snacks, with indoor and outdoor seating.

Yes — picnics are welcome, and we have outdoor seating areas.

Yes — accessible toilets and baby-changing facilities are available on site.

Dogs on leads are welcome on the hill walk, around the ponds and in the Dizzy Duck Café, but not in the main zoo area — our animals are prey species and natives, and a dog on the ground reads to them as a predator. Assistance dogs are a different matter: please contact us before your visit so we can plan your route with you.

We are located just outside Crieff at Auchingarrich, Comrie (PH6 2JE), with clear brown visitor signage and easy access by car. There is free on-site parking for visitors.

There is camping right next door at Perthshire Campsite. It is a separate business and is not run by Perthshire Zoo, so please book with them directly.
