Eco-Friendly toys & gifts
Choose from a selection of eco-friendly animal toys and gifts as the perfect way to remember your day at Noah’s Ark Zoo Farm. We have cuddly toys which are filled with 100% recycled plastic bottles and are available in a range of sizes. We also have a selection of toys that do not use single-use plastics, including wooden toys and books. The majority of our toys have easily recycled or compostable packaging.
Pick the perfect present for a loved one with the environment at heart. With bio-based travel mugs, eco-friendly art and cards with protective films all made from corn starch.
We are particularly proud of our range of children's books, with a selection emphasising the importance of protecting our animals and environment in a fun and engaging way. We also stock a range of books from local authors!
Making the right choices
Whilst purchasing products from our Gift Shop, you may notice that we don’t offer plastic bags. Instead, we provide recycled paper bags for your gifts and have cotton shopping bags available to purchase. This is because we are always working to reduce the amount of single-use plastics. We believe that making these easy changes can make a huge difference in helping to protect our environment.
Zoo souvenirs
At Noah’s Ark Zoo Farm, we understand how important it is to make lasting memories with both family and friends. To help remember your day, we have a selection of amazing zoo souvenirs available, from keyrings to bracelets, soft toys and colourful stationery!

We take pride in our locally sourced produce and goods. We have a fantastic range of gifts sourced in Bristol, Bath and Somerset including; Goats of the Gorge soaps and skincare items which are available to purchase in both the Gift Shop and Farm Shop. Their Soaps are all handmade and cruelty-free.

You may notice a display of original art by Christina Bush in our Gift Shop and our Food Barn. Christina is a well-known West Country artist who founded Noah’s Ark with her husband Anthony in 1999. Christina trained at the Chelsea School of Art and her colourful paintings focus on the vibrancy of the zoo and surrounding landscapes.
