An accredited zoo cares for over 180 animals from around the world, including Amur tigers and leopards, macaques and birds of prey, with keeper talks at different habitats through the day.

World of Raptors

A 30-minute aerial display featuring the world's largest eagles, vultures, falcons and owls, and a good chance to sit down mid-visit. Times are weather dependent, so check in-park signage.
