Quick Details
GROW your imagination in our Tropical Zoo
Your adventure begins as you step through a giant tree into a real living rainforest. Start by exploring the dark, below ground zone full of creepy crawlies and all those lovely creatures that lurk beneath.
Head through the opening doors onto the forest floor, where immediately you’ll be greeted by a 12ft Python, a colony of leaf-cutting ants, and a rainbow-filled pond full of fish of all sizes.
Venture further into the Arid zone where things start to hot up! Climb through the Meerkats tunnel to get a different perspective of their enclosure. Say hi to Lucy the Lizard, Kong the Bearded Dragon, and count the Egyptian Tortoises. How many can you see?
Keep exploring our Tropical Zoo as you climb high in the canopy, interacting with Oscar the iguana, the marmosets and talkative parrot! Will you be brave enough to enter the Dangerous Plants Zone?
Follow the bridge down past the waterfall towards Fort Crox where you’ll finally come face to face with crocodiles!
There is no time limit to your stay with general admission, and you will discover over 40 species of animals living within our real rainforest.
And don’t forget to look up to discover the GIANTS of the past and their modern-day relatives, all included at no extra cost with your general admission ticket.
