Kids will love taking a walk on the wild side at The Tropical Forest in Syon Park. Animals feel at home in their recreated natural environment, meaning that little ones can pretend they're in the midst of a rainforest watching marmosets scampering through the trees, Elvis the croc lounging on his rock or hairy tarantulas coming out to play! Many of the creatures are rescued and endangered species and there's a chance at 4.30pm every Tuesday (at no extra charge) for children to join the Mini Keepers Club and learn how the animals are looked after. Other highlights include feeding times, pond dipping and animal encounters. Poisonous frogs, tropical snakes, jumping fish, forked tongued snakes and exotic birds are all lying in wait to introduce families to the fascinating world of the rainforest.
