Ball Racecourse Zoo

The Ball Racecourse Zoo is an interactive, imaginative play set that encourages children to engage with the zoo scene by moving three coloured wooden balls along a winding track.

The balls stay on the track at all times, ensuring a smooth and safe play experience. Made from durable birch plywood, this engaging resource is ideal for children aged 12+ months.
