Bristol Zoo Project: We’re Going on a Bear Hunt

We’re Going on a Bear Hunt is at Bristol Zoo Project! The award-winning animation, based on the much-loved picture book, will be brought to life through a series of interactive installations — follow in the characters’ footsteps to brave the elements. Roam through swishy swashy grass, conquer thick oozy mud, brave swirling whirling snowstorms, and tiptoe through a cave in search of real bears.

Dreamery Gardens

Under the whispering trees of The Dreamery Gardens is a hidden and rich world of mythology, nature, and creatures both seen and unseen. The meandering path takes you under fairy walkways, over inhabited bridges, and around hobgoblin burrows. Nests of gigantic winged creatures can be found in the wood, and at night the song of the merfolk echoes out across the ponds.
Whether luxuriating in the dappled green-gold of summer, or meandering your way through frost-kissed skeletal trees, our hundred acre wood has something to enjoy no matter the time of year.
