Opening Times
We are open throughout the year, daily from February school half term until the end of the October school half term. We then open for weekends only throughout the Winter months.

Public Transport
Currently the No. 42 Bus service only stops at Anglesey Sea Zoo on Sunday’s and Bank Holidays. It departs from Bangor Clock at 11.30am via Menai Bridge Bus Station and arrives at the Anglesey Sea Zoo 11.55. A return service leaves the Anglesey Sea Zoo 17.10 daily on the days given above, arriving at Bangor Clock at 17.36.

Regrettably, fully accessible low floor buses are only available on certain named routes which do not include ours. A pre-bookable door to door service is available for at a rate of 50p per mile, providing facilities for wheelchair users and others with specific mobility problems. All minibuses used for this service have electric lifts and are available Monday to Friday between 08:00 and 18:00, please call 01248 751312 for further details.

Trains are not very practical for visiting the Anglesey Sea Zoo as they do not necessarily fit in to the bus timetable. The nearest main station is Bangor, with Llanfairpwll being the closest request stop station. It is then possible to take a bus from Llanfairpwll to Brynsiencyn, that runs throughout the day every half hour or so. However, this service does leave the passenger approximately 1 mile away from the Anglesey Sea Zoo outside the times described above.

Car Parking
Six dedicated spaces for wheelchair users and blue badge holders are available, and all may be booked in advance. Please give us as much notice as possible. They are a maximum of 29 metres from the entrance to the Anglesey Sea Zoo, and minimally only 5 meters away.

Entrance Access
From the main gate the distance to the entrance is 200m over a level tarmac road. The Anglesey Sea Zoo is clearly sign posted all the way from all major road access routes, and on arrival is easily recognised by its twin flagpoles flying the Welsh and Sea Zoo flags.

Waiting
Currently there is no seating provided at the entrance but there should be little or no queuing unless during very wet weather in the last two weeks of July and during the whole of August.

Payment
Our reception desk has an accessible counter for wheelchair users and smaller people.

Hearing Impairment

There are currently baby changing facilities at three of the four bathrooms throughout the site, all of which are accessible to wheelchair users, no RADAR key is required.

Our Gift Shop and Bistro have been assessed by wheelchair using customers, and all staff are happy to bring trays to tables if requested, and help will be willingly given to reach goods on higher shelves at our gift shop if required. Tables may also be reserved in advance. Please ring 01248 430913 by 11:00 on the day of your proposed visit. We can also cater for people with special dietary requirements, but the more notice you can give the better.
