London Zoo
As you meander around London Zoos thriving 36-acre expanse of gardens using a series of well-designed tunnels and bridges, a host of choices are opened up to you
Gorilla Kingdom
This pioneering £5.3 million exhibit brings Central Africa to the heart of London. It gives visitors the chance to experience the amazing world of these animals in a natural setting with no bars. Interactive features and educational activities will appeal to visitors from all walks of life. Gorilla Kingdom highlights the threats faced by these majestic creatures in the wild. ZSL works to conserve and protect them, and this exhibit marks an important development in awareness and support for their plight.
Clore Rainforest Lookout
This £2.3 million exhibit consists of a giant translucent dome which supports a cross section of natural South American rainforest and brings together monkey species such as marmosets and tamarins with birds, forest mammals and invertebrates in a lush setting of tropical plants and trees. Visitors will walk along the rainforest canopy before descending to the forest floor, where these creatures live in harmony. The attraction also features nocturnal exhibits and interactive childrens workshops.
