Redevelopment At Paignton Zoo - Baboon Rock

We building new baboon home based on 30 years of research here at Paignton Zoo.
Work on has already begun on our brand new baboon exhibit which will be the zoo’s biggest build project in 15 years.
Baboon Rock is one of the oldest exhibits of Paignton Zoo, with its iconic ‘African savannah’ design resonating with visitors throughout its 50-year history. However, half a century of wear and tear has taken its toll on the area, so the relocation will provide the baboons with an upgraded and purpose-built home that meets all of their needs.
The new baboon exhibit is being built in the old zebra paddock opposite the zoo’s giraffes. This expansive hill-side space will provide them with a large outdoor area and a new indoor home. For the first time in 50 years, visitors will be able to see the troop of baboons inside as well as out. The area will also incorporate a browse plantation to provide food for the zoo’s animals for years to come. The Baboon Rock site has been marked for future major redevelopment.
