Weald Hall Care Home organised the outing, which included encounters with big cats and feeding monkeys.
Danielle Barham, group lifestyle manager at Weald Hall, said: “Our goal is to make sure residents continue to experience the joy of discovery and connection.
“The zoo trip was a perfect example of how meaningful moments can have such a positive impact on wellbeing.
“You could see the happiness in every face.”
The care home said laughter echoed around the zoo as residents, staff, and families enjoyed unexpected animal antics and the outing.
