Opening Spring 2013: Lemur Heights

State of the art walk-through exhibit. An undercover veranda will allow visitors to view the lemurs in all weathers, leading onto a raised walk way, allowing guests to get up close and personal with this unique Madagascan species.

Relax in the café and conservatory while the kids dig in the sandpit, take to the wheel of a pedal car or whiz along the aerial glide. Conquer the amazing Realm of Camelot, a unique play experience for children.

Have your birthday party here and enjoy a guided tour and inspiring animal encounters. Our Keeper Experiences are a unique opportunity to get behind the scenes; a perfect gift for animal enthusiasts!
