The Living Rainforest

Discover the rainforest's wonders as you stroll between tropical trees and plants, among free roaming butterflies and birds. An outdoor play area allows kids to let off steam, while adults can relax on the sun terrace with a cappuccino. All weather attraction with on site parking, cafe and shop.

On your visit, look out for free roaming lizards, birds and butterflies, you never know where they will appear next! See some of the world's most popular foods, from bananas to coffee, cocoa and ginger as well as plants that have changed the way we live today.

Plus monkeys, a crocodile and much more. We often have our fun face painters transforming you into wild and wonderful creatures, and our popular t-shirt printing workshop, where you can create a wonderful memento of your day.
