A spokesperson for Blackpool Zoo said: “Elephants will continue to have access to the outdoor area; however, please note that they will only be visible if they choose to spend time outside.

“We are aware Project Elephant Base Camp is a popular habitat; therefore, advance online tickets will be reduced to £12.00 per person during this time period.”

They added: “We thank you for your patience during the latest in a series of significant investments at the zoo.”
