Wonderful immersive experience, allowing a tree top view with the canopy walk and skywalk. The staff were hugely knowledgeable sharing great insights - especially Andrew Stevenson who shared a fascinating account of how they managed to construct the canopy walk without any disturbance to the rainforest floor. The Habitat has also been designed to make it fully accessible for disabled visitors. ...

They have water dispensers dotted around the park, which I very much appreciate. We’ve got tonnes of great pictures. And icing on...
