Today that dream spans 42 hectares of rolling savanna, rainforest and wetland habitats, home to more than 120 species and hundreds of dedicated keepers, educators and conservationists.
- 42 hectares of natural, immersive habitats
- 120+ species cared for by expert rangers
- Accredited by the Global Zoo & Aquarium Association
- 60+ active conservation partnerships worldwide
