Rainforest Life

Meet the Monkeys, Rainforest Experience 

Enter our living rainforest and meet our monkeys (and maybe spot a sleepy sloth!)

An expert zoo keeper will guide you onto the rainforest floor to hand-feed the monkeys and see what other species you can spot including sloths, tortoises and bats!

Your experience

• Meet and hand-feed our monkeys in Rainforest Life
• Discover more about the amazing species that call Rainforest Life home
• Opportunity to ask our zoo keeper questions about our rainforest residents
• Kept to a maximum of four participants so you get quality time with the monkeys and zoo keeper

What to expect on the day

This 20 minute VIP experience begins with a health and safety briefing from our friendly zoo keeper who will then take you inside the Rainforest Life exhibit to the rainforest floor.  You will then help our zoo keeper hand feed the monkeys whilst learning more about all the different species that call our living rainforest home, including tamarin and red titi monkeys, sloths, bats and tamandua.

There will be a maximum of four people taking part in the experience, giving you lots of time with the monkeys and zoo keeper.

Tip: You will have plenty of opportunity to take some fantastic photographs so don’t forget to bring your camera!
