🐅 Team Building & CSR Events at Dartmoor Zoo

Dartmoor Zoological Park is one of the most inspiring places in the South West for CSR‑driven team building, corporate away days, and purpose‑led events. Set across 33 acres of beautiful Devon countryside, the zoo is home to hundreds of exotic animals and is best known as the real‑life story behind the Hollywood film We Bought a Zoo.

Your team day takes place in a venue built on rescue, rehabilitation, and community impact—a perfect match for organisations wanting to strengthen their CSR story while giving their teams a memorable, meaningful experience.

🌍 A Charity With a Powerful Conservation Mission

The zoo’s modern chapter began in 2006, when Benjamin Mee and his family stepped in to save the former Dartmoor Wildlife Park from closure and prevent the destruction of its animals. Their year‑long effort to rebuild the site led to its reopening in 2007 under a new name and a new ethos focused on welfare, education, and conservation .

Key CSR‑aligned credentials include:

• Registered charity status (Dartmoor Zoological Society, CIO 1158422) supporting long‑term sustainability

• BIAZA membership, demonstrating high standards in welfare, conservation, and education (accepted in 2009)

• Active conservation and research programmes supporting endangered species

• Community outreach and education, inspiring thousands of visitors each year

Choosing Dartmoor Zoo for your team event directly supports this mission, making your away day a genuine contribution to wildlife protection and ethical practice.
