Crocodiles of the World was founded in 2011 by crocodile conservationist, Shaun Foggett. The first zoo was located at Crawley Mill, Witney. However with increasing visitor numbers and a growing population of crocodiles, the zoo needed to move and opened new premises in Brize Norton (the former Foxbury Farm site) in February 2014.
Crocodiles of the World is the UK’s only crocodile zoo and is currently home to more than 150 crocodiles representing 15 different species including crocodiles, alligators and caimans, as well as other reptiles.
Come face-to-face with some of the world’s most feared predators in a fun, safe and stimulating environment. With under-water viewing, talks, animal encounters and feeds throughout the day there’s plenty to keep you occupied at the UK’s only Crocodile Zoo. We are dedicated to the conservation of these incredible animals and want to share our passion with you.
From critically endangered Siamese crocodiles from Cambodia, to Chinese alligators, Nile Crocodiles and American alligators, a visit to Crocodiles of the World in Oxfordshire will take you on a journey of discovery around the world meeting different species of crocodiles, caiman and alligators, as well as meerkats, otters, Giant tortoises and laughing Kookaburras. We’re also one of only four zoos in the UK where you can see a Komodo dragon, the King of the Lizards. So whether your looking for a family day-out, unique keeper experiences, school trip or group visit, Crocodiles of the World is a truly memorable day.
