Marwell Zoo

Marwell Zoological Park is owned and run by Marwell Preservation Trust, a registered charity dedicated to the conservation of wildlife and natural habitats both locally and internationally. The Zoological Park in Hampshire is open daily from 10am.

We have re-homed a black widow spider after a member of the public found it in a car part that they had imported from America. The female black widow settled into her new home quickly and promptly laid an egg sac containing over 100 eggs. The baby spiders, known as spiderlings, have since hatched and can now be seen in the Animal Barn in Encounter Village.
