Check out the trailer for ‘We Bought A Zoo’ and the location that inspired it

20th Century Fox just released the trailer for Cameron Crowe’s We Bought a Zoo, starring Matt Damon, Scarlett Johansson, Thomas Haden Church, Patrick Fugit, Elle Fanning and John Michael Higgins.

The movie is based on the true story of a father who moves his two children to a dilapidated zoo which they restore to its former glory.

Though the movie is set in the U.S. and was filmed in Los Angeles, the real-life zoo that the story is based on is actually located in Devon, U.K. The Dartmoor Zoo is now home to dozens of animals including monkeys, reindeer, cheetahs and goats. The zoo also hosts special events, like photography tours, family days, and even weddings.

Dartmoor is open every day of the year, Summer (April to November): 10am – 6pm and Winter (November to April): 10am – 4pm.Adult tickets cost £10.95.

We Bought A Zoo opens in theaters on December 23.
