Facts and practical information

Noah's Ark Zoo Farm is a 100-acre zoo developed on a working farm in Wraxall, North Somerset, 6 miles west of Bristol, England, which promotes a form of creationism that includes a belief that the biblical story of Noah's Flood was an actual cataclysmic event. In 2009 the zoo was expelled from the British and Irish Association of Zoos and Aquariums, the main industry regulatory body, "for bringing the association into disrepute", but in 2018 it regained membership in the body. The zoo has the largest elephant enclosure in northern Europe. ()
