Local Attractions |
|
Torquay and the general area of Torbay offers something for everyone, whether you are visiting alone, as a couple or as a family. |
|
The attractions listed below should give you flavour of what’s on offer but the list is by no means exhaustive. And don’t forget, you also have the choice of 20 superb beaches, 5 of which hold the coveted European Blue Flag award. |

Take a whole day to make the most of more than 3000 animals and a newly opened (Easter 2008) crocodile swamp. |
|
Visit Torquays own colony of penguins, seals and numerous other sea birds. |
|
Take a fascinating guided tour around these pre-historic caves. See the face in the rock, mammoth teeth and the Hyena’s lair where remains of giant elk and whoolly rhino have been found. |
|
Get wet and wild at Quaywest waterpark. Can you handle “Devils Drop” or “the Screamer”? |
|
Theatre goers have plenty of choice with the 1500 seat Princess Theatre on Torquay seafront, the Palace Theatre in Paignton, Babbacombe Theatre or the smaller Little Theatre. |

|
In 2007 Torbay was awarded Geopark status. This was in recognition of the many unique geological features of the region - all of which are available for visitors to explore. |
