The best gifts in London for children who love animals

Imagine their faces lighting up as they spot the monkeys swinging or the otters splashing in the water. A visit to Battersea Park Children’s Zoo isn’t just a day out in London, it’s a world of giggles, muddy boots and wide-eyed wonder.

For parents, grandparents and anyone searching for a thoughtful gift, our zoo experiences offer something far more exciting than another toy on the shelf. From behind-the-scenes adventures to animal adoptions and annual passes, every present helps children connect with wildlife and create moments that will stay with them long after they leave the park.

Annual memberships for a year of family fun

Give the gift of unlimited family adventures with an Annual Membership. It is a whole year of animal encounters, laughter and outdoor play, perfect for families who love spending time together in London.

Members can pop in as often as they like to say hello to their favourite residents, watch the otters splash or see how the lemurs change with the seasons. With 12 months of visits included, it is the kind of gift that never ends up forgotten in a drawer. It is used and loved!.

Zoo keeper experiences for unforgettable memories

For children who dream of working with animals, our Zoo Keeper Experiences turn make-believe into reality. They can help prepare food, tidy enclosures and learn what it really takes to look after our amazing animals.

It is hands-on, fascinating and full of those proud, wide-eyed moments that parents will treasure too. Whether it is a Christmas present, birthday surprise or a special treat, this is a gift that leaves lasting memories and a new appreciation for the animals they meet.

Admission gift vouchers for easy giving

If you would like to let them choose their own day of adventure, Zoo Admission Gift Vouchers are ideal. They can plan their visit whenever it suits, turning an ordinary weekend in London into something extraordinary.

It is a simple way to give the fun of the zoo without needing to pick a date. For busy families, that flexibility makes all the difference.

Adopt an animal and support their care

For a thoughtful gift that helps children feel part of something bigger, our Adopt an Animal Packages are a wonderful choice. Each adoption supports the daily care of our animals and includes a certificate, fact sheet and the adopter’s name displayed at the zoo.

Children love choosing their favourite species, whether it is the cheeky monkeys, gentle donkeys or playful meerkats, and learning more about how their gift helps. It is a beautiful way to show kindness and inspire a lifelong love of wildlife.
