About Lookout Lodge at ZSL Whipsnade Zoo
ZSL Whipsnade Zoo is the UK's biggest zoo. Set in 600 acres of beautiful parkland on the Chiltern Hills, north of London, the zoo is home to more than 2,500 animals, many of which are endangered in the wild. Lookout Lodge is a fantastic experience for animal lovers of all ages or those simply wanting to escape everyday life. Whipsnade is a very special place during the day but it's even more magical at night - and that's what you get to experience. Your stay comes with a programme of unique activities and a comfortable glamping space all your own. Each lodge pod features comfy beds with soft linen and pillows, a sofa bed, mirror, lighting and power, a private veranda and complimentary towels and bathroom products.
