Description of Location:

The entryway boasts two elephants available for rides just inside. Front and center is the ticket booth and a large bronze lion for donations, a small shop and tearoom. The entire zoo is split down the middle; non-magical on the left, magical on the right. The pair of exhibition halls, one muggle, one magical, sit in the middle of the zoo opposite one another on their respective sides. The halls containing animals that need tanks or warmer climates, including reptiles and smaller exotic birds are beyond that moving outward. From the muggle hall, typical muggle zoo animals may be viewed behind reinforced fences and cages. From the magical hall, witches and wizards can access the right half of the zoo, which contains the magical enclosures and a large golden aviary, but this area is restricted to non-magical folks for safety reasons.

Other Notes: The current exhibitions are as follows; an * denotes the creatures are interactive, either for pets or riding. If the creature has been named IC, they are included in parentheses!
