Dudley Zoo & Castle is a 40-acre zoo set within the wooded grounds of Dudley Castle in the West Midlands, England.
The zoo opened on 18 May 1937 and is notable for its collection of 12 modernist animal enclosures and buildings designed by architect Berthold Lubetkin and the Tecton Group. These structures represent a significant example of 1930s zoo architecture, blending functionalist design with the historic castle setting. The 200-acre site sits in the Black Country region. After entering receivership in 1977, the zoo was purchased by Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council. Since 1978 it has been operated by the Dudley and West Midlands Zoological Society, a registered charity established that year to manage the collection and preserve both the living animals and the architecturally important enclosures.
