It’s Creepy…..it’s crawly…….it’s a Jungle in here!
Enjoy a visit to the world's longest running all-year round Butterfly House and help celebrate our 25th Anniversary amongst our collection of free-flying exotic butterflies in a large indoor rainforest. Experience the heat and humidity of the jungle flora and see our resident terrapins and large koi carp pond. The “Bugs and Beasties” exhibition includes poison arrow frogs, tarantulas and the amazing leaf-cutter ants.
There are twice daily “Meet the Beasties” animal handling sessions and a unique seasonal Scottish Honey Bee display.
The Reptile Room displays lizards and giant pythons. In the Nocturnal Zone bugs and beasties can be seen going about their night-time activities. You’ll find the leaf-cutter ants’ nest in here, as well as glow-in-the-dark scorpions.

Welcome to "Fluffy" the albino Burmese Python
We aree currently 'snake-sitting' our newest reptile family member - Fluffy, a female albino Burmese Python.
Fluffy is a 3 metre 3 year old snake on loan to us whilst her owner is in her 1st year of university - apparently, a 3 metre snake is not welcome in the halls of residence!
