Parking at Bristol Zoo in Clifton
The former Clifton site is on the Bristol Zoo address in Clifton, Bristol, while the current operator’s visitor information refers to Bristol Zoo Project. Parking at Bristol Zoo Project is free of charge (bristolzoo.org.uk).
The operator advises booking admission in advance during peak periods to avoid disappointment (bristolzoo.org.uk). The published visitor information also specifies two coach parking spaces (bristolzoo.org.uk), so drivers of standard cars should plan around the nearby Clifton spaces listed below rather than assume coach provision applies to them.

Other Parking Near the Clifton Site
The site’s historic car park is associated with a former parking attendant who collected £1 for every car parked for 25 years, according to Bristol 24/7 (bristol247.com). A separate report describes the attendant story as a hoax and says ownership of the car park is not in dispute (bristolpost.co.uk).
For visitors travelling to Bristol Zoo Project rather than the former Clifton site, the operator states that parking is free of charge (bristolzoo.org.uk). The operator also distinguishes two coach parking spaces from general visitor parking (bristolzoo.org.uk), which is useful when a group is arriving by coach.
Peak Visits and Parking Pressure in Clifton
Peak periods are the main pressure point identified by the operator: Bristol Zoo Project advises booking admission in advance during peak periods to avoid disappointment (bristolzoo.org.uk). Drivers visiting the Clifton site should therefore expect demand to be more difficult around busy zoo visits and should arrange parking before arriving.
The historic Clifton car park was described as holding 150 cars and 8 coaches, with a £1 car charge and a £5 coach charge, in a published account of the former zoo operation (chanters-livingstone.com). The Bristol Zoo Project visitor page instead states that parking is free of charge (bristolzoo.org.uk), so the two descriptions relate to different operating arrangements and should not be combined.
