In celebration of its 25th anniversary and an apparent baby boom among its staff, Noah's Ark Zoo Farm in North Somerset has launched two new promotional offers.

Named as the second most popular boy's name in the UK in 2023, everyone named Noah will enjoy free entry, up until September 8, 2024.

All other visitors can avail themselves of a ten per cent discount when they book online using the code 'ILOVENOAHS' for the rest of the summer holidays.

Noah's Ark, besides being a zoo, is a conservation charity that has seen more than ten babies born to its team members in the last year.

It has also made a concerted effort to improve accessibility and inclusiveness for all that come through its gates.

Thanks to the supportive efforts of Bristol's Mobility Centre, the zoo's mobility scooter provision has been extended and upgraded.

The aim is to ensure visitors with additional access requirements can navigate the park with ease.

Going a step further in enabling all children to participate in fun and safe activities, Noah's Ark now has an accessible play area alongside improvements to its sandpit.

Aligned to the zoo's pledge of creating a hospitable environment for all, it now offers a Changing Places facility and new stoma-friendly features in its accessible toilets.

Outside of the promotions for Noahs and online bookings with the assigned code, Noah's Ark also has a series of special events and activities lined up throughout the summer break.

These include animal talks, bird of prey displays, interactive animal encounters, magic themed on animals, and exclusive presentations by Scarlett Oak Theatre Company.

Such events serve to underscore the zoo's dedication to wildlife conservation, while also offering entertaining and engaging experiences for visitors of any age.

Larry Bush, director of Noah’s Ark Zoo Farm, said: "We're thrilled to be celebrating 25 years of connecting people with wildlife.

"We wanted to do something fun and unique to commemorate this occasion and ensure that everyone could join in with our celebrations, which is why we're offering this special discount code for our online bookings as well as free entry for visitors named Noah."

"It's been an exciting year for our team, both professionally and personally. We've welcomed so many new arrivals, but despite my best efforts to persuade the parents, none of them have chosen to name their babies Noah!"
