There are many wonderful sounds varying from the animals themselves, with lions roaring and meerkats chattering, to streams trickling and children laughing.
There are animal noises around the zoo as to be expected but there are quiet areas for those who struggle with noise. There are British sign language learning opportunities on some enclosures.
There are animal noises and smells, the smells are mild and only in some areas (Warty pigs and penguins) Some animals are noisier than others such as the birds and monkeys.
The slender Lori and owstens civit cat are in a dark room with a red light, it may take a minute for your eyes to adjust to the lighting. The animals are behind glass to your left and the pathway is a straight route through the small building.
