Camperdown is loved by visitors of all ages. You don't need to be young to have a great day out here - just young at heart!
Located within the beautiful Camperdown Country Park, the centre is home to over 50 species of animals, birds and reptiles, many of which are threatened or endangered in the wild. Highlights include gibbons, snowy owls, ring-tailed lemurs, macaques, marmosets and European brown bears.
Don't miss the fabulous Bear Broch Visitor Centre - a custom-made replica of an ancient Scottish stone dwelling, the only building type likely to have existed when bears last roamed wild in Scotland. Visitors can watch the bears at play in their splash pool through the Broch's large viewing window. The Broch also houses artefacts and objects relating to the history of the animal.
