What's On in Swansea | Plantasia Tropical Zoo

Plantasia offers a wide range of activities and events all year round. Many of these have limited capacities so book early to avoid disappointment.

Sing, explore and enjoy a magical family experience.

Join us for a truly enchanting day as two beloved storybook princesses visit Plantasia Tropical Zoo. The Tower Princess and the Adventure Princess from Glass Slipper Events will perform live from the treehouse balcony at half past every hour, with plenty of chances for children to sing along. Watch from the bridge for the perfect view, then meet the princesses afterwards for photos at the treehouse entrance.

Families can complete our competition flyer for a chance to win a prize, enjoy themed colouring-in, and complimentary face painting by Shanis glitter and paints at the Canopy Café, and explore the zoo at their own pace with over 40 amazing species included in the ticket price.

Don’t forget your free magical photo at the Magic Memories kiosk and bring the Giants of the Past to life using AR on your mobile device.
