Highlights include Irish elk antlers around 7,500 years old, a Tasmanian devil skeleton, a two-headed lamb, a collection of New Zealand birds and endangered species such as the kakapo. Alongside the zoology displays, visitors can see a selection of the University's geology and fossil collection. It's not open to the public on a regular basis, but occasional open days, group and school bookings, and University Open Days provide access, making it a good option to combine with other plans. Set in Bangor, Gwynedd, close to Bangor (Gwynedd) station (BRITSTAYS:station), it sits near 86 bookable places to stay within 5 miles (BRITSTAYS:stays), useful if you're basing a trip nearby.
