The Hamilton Zoo is the perfect way to spend a day out with the family! Open every day, except Christmas, the Hamilton Zoo provides families with the opportunity to get up close to many different mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibians. Make sure to bring a camera, some good walking shoes, a sunhat and also an umbrella – just in case it’s a rainy day.
