It seems that this matches the announcement about Paignton. There is no suggestion of closure, but both zoos need investment, in Newquay's case to redevelop the former macaque exhibit in particular.
I did make a comment that Newquay looked a little 'run down' when I visited recently though it might have been due to the poor weather that day. The monkey enclosures are very old and outdated now. The old bear/macaque enclosure is the standout example though its carefully hidden by colourful hoardings about the WPT etc. The Penguin area is having a refit though. I was pretty sure WPT still don't own the land there and that seems to be correct.
Phase 2 of our penguin pool refurbishment is complete, and we’re so pleased to finally share the results with you. The pool has been sandblasted, repaired, and repainted in a gorgeous blue – perfect for our flippered friends to dive back into! This is just the beginning of some exciting improvements we’ve got planned for the penguin exhibit, but for now, enjoy watching our colony take the plunge after a few weeks on dry land. Watch ‘til the end for some seriously joyful porpoising – they’ve missed the water, and it shows! | Newquay Zoo
