Here at Meerkats Toys, we've lost count of the number of times we've been asked "Where can I see meerkats?" so we've created our own UK Meerkat Guide to help you find meerkats in the UK (see below).

Our meerkat gift gurus have scoured the web for zoological parks, parks, wildlife centres and visitor attractions in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland where meerkats are exhibited to the public.

BUT, a listing doesn't always mean meerkats are on view! Zoos and wild animal parks may remove animals from exhibition at any time, so it is always best to ring before travelling to ensure that meerkats will be on display when you visit.

Disclaimer: These meerkat attraction listings are based on information posted on each organisation's website. Entry charges will apply. A listing here does not constitute an endorsement.
