Monsoon Forest

Explore the dense jungles of South East Asia and immerse yourself in the sights, sounds and smells of the Monsoon Forest. Discover meat eating plants, ancient gharials, rare and colourful birds, a family of orangutans, and lots of other weird and wonderful species, all native to these islands.

If you look above you, you’ll hear the beautiful melody of some of South East Asia’s rarest bird’s, in our free flight area of the rainforest. For our bird enthusiasts, bring along your binoculars and spot the bright and colourful tropical birds nestled amongst the jungle’s dense plant life.

Please note: Due to recent reports of avian influenza in the UK, some of our walkthrough aviaries are temporarily closed to ensure the safety of our animals. This includes Latin American Wetland, Tsavo, Bali and Sumatra aviaries. However, Tropical Realm and Monsoon Forest will remain open with disinfectant footbaths at the entrance and exit. Sorry for any inconvenience.

The conditions in Monsoon Forest are hot and humid, and you may also experience the monsoon rains during your visit, so be prepared for some damp jungle conditions!
