Acclaimed as one of the most beautiful zoos in the world, this scenic 'open' zoo features many interesting animal exhibits. Among its highlights: the world's largest social colony of orangutans from Borneo and Sumatra, and the Fragile Forest, an exciting and educational display of ecosystems and rainforest culture. Come face to face with Polar Bears or Pigmy Hippos in their special glass-fronted enclosures, or the Hamadryas Baboons at the Great Rift Valley. One of the newer exhibits is the Elephants of Asia. Enjoy breakfast or afternoon tea with some of the animals. And kids will go wild at the pool and playground at Children's World. Before you leave the zoo, don't miss the popular animal shows at the zoo's amphitheatre. Check the show times at the entrance.
