About this place

The zoo offers close encounters with specific animals, including a red panda viewing area and a gibbon encounter two storeys up. River otters are noted as particularly active throughout the day. The zoo participates in conservation breeding programs for Malayan tigers and red pandas, and contributes to species survival efforts through partnerships with other zoos.
