Why it's Wildland
5.8Step into a 1,500 m² habitat designed to evoke Bolivia’s rainforests and observe black-capped squirrel monkeys moving through it.
A distinctive wildlife encounter in central London: the walk-through design lets visitors enter the squirrel monkeys’ habitat, rather than viewing them only from outside an enclosure. Its appeal is the close observation of the animals and the carefully planted habitat.
