About The Event
Come face to face with some of the hairiest, scariest, tallest and smallest animals on the planet - right in the heart of the capital. Set in leafy Regent's Park amongst heritage-listed buildings and beautiful gardens, London Zoo is a great excuse for a big day out.

Get up close to cheeky squirrel monkeys in the new walk-through experience, Meet the Monkeys. Dare to encounter the Komodo dragon, or embark on an African Bird Safari.

With all-day parking, play equipment, beautiful picnic areas, keeper talks, animal displays and exciting events, the whole family will enjoy a day out at London Zoo, full of discovery and wild fun.

London Zoo has launched a state of the art monkey walk-though forest, called 'Meet the Monkeys', officially opened by BBC comedy duo, The Mighty Boosh (Noel Fielding and Julian Barratt)

Our revolutionary new enclosure is the result of extensive research into what visitors really want from a modern zoo, and allows them to actually get in with the monkeys and observe them in their natural habitat.

The new enclosure covers an area of 1500m and has been built to house a breeding group of black-capped squirrel monkeys in a habitat designed to recreate the Bolivian rain forests as closely as possible in the centre of London. The walk-through is open to the skies of the capital with no boundaries between the animals and our visitors.

"The monkeys are proving to be a real hit with all of our visitors - from young kids to big kids alike, and they just love their new home. We are delighted that they have settled in so well and we are nearly as excited as they are about the Meet the Monkeys habitat!" said David Field, ZSL's head of animal care. "Our new exhibit really does give our visitors the chance to come face to face with these really cheeky monkeys!"

This new urban Eco-safari, a first for London, plunges visitors into the forests of Bolivia giving them the chance to come face to face with our animals. It also provides inspiration for adults and children to find their inner monkey in a specially designed 'play area' which highlights some of the tools and movements our monkeys use to navigate their environment.

We have also designed a tree trunk hide complete with telescopes to allow visitors to feel like they are on a real safari in the centre of London.

Meet the Monkeys - facts:
