Rainforest Life

See animals in a different light at Rainforest Life, ZSL London Zoo’s exciting new exhibit - including an amazing noctural experience.
Enter London’s only living rainforest where you can come face to face with a variety of amazing rainforest species including monkeys, sloth, armadillo and tamandua.
Then step out of the light and into the all-new ‘Night Life’ area, where you’ll discover the bats, rats and nocturnal wonders who make the dark their home.
Rainforest by day - busy and bustling...

The rainforest is a bustling neighbourhood.
The warmth you feel, the water that drips and trees which soar give rise to a bewildering array of inhabitants.
In just one tree you could find a community of over 1000 species of insects.
With so much competition animals have evolved wonderful adaptations to help them survive.
Tubular tongues, screeching songs and talented tails add to the rich tapestry of rainforest life.
...then experience Night Life

Meet the creatures who only come out in the dark in this amazing noctural experience.
Animals are kings in this nocturnal world with their giant eyes, protruding whiskers and voluminous ears, which give them an appearance we perceive to be scary.
Meet the rats, bats, armadillos and slender lorises in Night Life.
Rainforest residents

From the moment you walk into Rainforest Life there is movement all around you.
With the sights, sounds and smells of a tropical paradise, the bustling forest will burst into life right before your eyes.
