Come face to face with some of the hairiest, scariest, tallest and smallest animals on the planet - right in the heart of the capital. Set in leafy Regent's Park amongst heritage-listed buildings and beautiful gardens, London Zoo is a great excuse for a big day out.
New for 2007 is the Gorilla kingdom and Clore Rainforest lookout. These amazing new attractions will give visitors the chance to experience rainforests on two continents and their native inhabitants in a natural setting with no bars. Also, get up close to cheeky squirrel monkeys in the walk-through experience, Meet the Monkeys. Dare to encounter the Komodo dragon, or embark on an African Bird Safari. Even visit the penguins at feeding time or watch a display of natural animal behaviour at Animals in Action.
With all-day parking, play equipment, beautiful picnic areas, keeper talks, animal displays and exciting events, the whole family will enjoy a day out at London Zoo, full of discovery and wild fun. Adult, child and concession tickets available.

Bone up on your Scare Tactics at ZSL London Zoo!
Halloween activities running from 1st to 28th October 2007
There’s fiendish fun to be had in the run up to Halloween at ZSL London Zoo this October with a range of activities to thrill your little horrors.
Join in one of our creative storytelling sessions: investigate the scare tactics of the creatures of the rainforest as they forage for food, establish their territories and look for love; explore the brain of a bug and discover why creepy crawlies are nothing to be scared of; or take a trip to the wild side to find out how the wildlife living in your very own back garden frighten their foes.
Get your hands dirty in our enrichment workshops choosing and making treats for our rats and aye aye.
Learn more about the darker side of Megabugs, reptiles and spiders in our hair-raising daily talks. Don’t miss your chance to see scare tactics first hand in our special Animals in Action demonstrations.
Not to mention daily penguin and gorilla feeds and the opportunity experience a rainforest shower in Clore Rainforest Lookout.
All sessions are free and suitable for children of all ages.
