Find out about Santos the sloth

Travel to the tropical rainforest whatever the weather outside.

Explore our Energy for Life: Tropical house, and stroll alongside the free-flying birds and butterflies as you discover the sights and sounds of the world’s rainforests in our multi-species exhibit.

Designed to highlight the flow of energy through life and ecosystems, you’ll begin your journey in the canopy layer, winding your way through lush plants as you descend to the forest floor. Encounter different species of birds, mammals, reptiles, and amphibians that live in the different layers of the exhibit!

Our friendly team members will be delighted to help you discover any species that you may have missed along the way.

Don’t forget to visit the Science Gallery, just after the large fish-filled aquarium, to find out more about how energy and carbon flows through life. Learn how we can help reduce our use of carbon for the benefit of all.
