Highlights of ZSL London Zoo
Near the entrance we can find the aquarium. It is world’s very first aquarium opened at London Zoo in 1853, which is huge and has 3 halls. Also, the Reptile House where Harry Potter spoke to a snake, and Gorilla Kingdom which brings you up close to a group of Western lowland Gorillas.
Kids and adults will be enthralled by Butterfly Paradise, where butterflies wager freely, and there are creepy crawlies in BUGS! There are plenty of opportunities to feed or groom sheep and goats in the Touch Zone, but don’t miss George, the scarlet macaw, who is likely to upstage everything else in the daily animals in action live show.
