Features

Butterfly House: Spread your wings and let your heart flutter in the butterfly house. Witness first-hand their life cycle from hungry caterpillar to sociable butterfly. Our Owl Butterflies can grow up to 20cm. That's the same size as a large dinner plate.
Aquarium: Come with us on a journey below the surface of the water from mangroves and swamps to rivers, lakes and the sea. Meet the incredible creatures that live there. The name Archer Fish reflects its ability to take down prey both underwater and above the water by spitting an "arch" of water at it.
Waterfall House: The rainforest floor is crawling with life. Take a look around and see for yourself. Red Crested Turacos often sit totally still in trees for hours and climb around like parrots. Look carefully among the leaves.
Creature Corner: Unwind for a while and bask in the heat with our snakes, lizards and invertebrates. Slither out of the rainforest and into creature corner and meet our astonishing animals. The Amazon milk frog releases a milky-substance through its skin when feeling threatened, hence their name! This makes their taste unpleasant to predators and less likely to be eaten.
Rainforest Canopy: Climb up to the roof of the forest and get a bird's eye view of what life is like suspended 20 meters above the rainforest floor. The Pygmy Marmoset is the world's smallest monkey, their long toes and claws allow them to cling to branches making them excellent at climbing.
Desert House: Wander among cacti and soak up the heat of our Yorkshire desert. Many think deserts are devoid of life but a visit to Tropical World will bury that myth. Meerkat gangs hunt together in a collaborative effort that involves designated lookouts which rotate regularly and rely on a series of distinct calls.
Creature Cavern: Tip toe into the darkness of our cavern to meet the animals lurking in the shadows from the venomous, clawed to the the prickly. Spot Gamora our Mexican beaded Lizard, our adorable Lesser Madagascar Tenrec family, our Asian Forest Scorpion and many more!
