About

Wolf Awareness Weekend at Hoo Zoo invites visitors to learn more about one of nature’s most powerful and intelligent animals through a programme of engaging activities taking place across the zoo.

The weekend focuses on increasing understanding of wolf behaviour, pack life and the challenges wolves face in the wild. Visitors will have the opportunity to deepen their knowledge of these iconic animals while enjoying an informative and engaging zoo visit.

Alongside learning activities, the event supports vital conservation work, with fundraising taking place for Balkani, an organisation that works to protect wild wolves and their habitats. By taking part, visitors can help support efforts to safeguard wolves and promote their long‑term survival in the wild.

Wolf Awareness Weekend offers a meaningful and educational experience for all ages, shining a spotlight on the importance of conservation and the role wolves play in natural ecosystems. It provides an opportunity to combine a family day out with learning and positive action for wildlife protection.
