Why it's Wildland

3.1

A play-led corner of London Zoo where young visitors can move between animal encounters and adventure-themed play. Children can explore the HMS Beagle climbing frame, bridges, slides and ladders, then look out for meerkats, porcupines, pigs, alpacas, llamas and goats.

Animal Adventure makes a young-child visit to London Zoo more hands-on, pairing close views of several animals with imaginative play. Its appeal is family-friendly discovery rather than a wild or secluded setting.
