ZSL - Childrens Zoo Concept
06-09-2008
just recently got a email from zsl asking me to partcipate in a survey about the (to) be opened childrens zoo
here are some of the details: 2009 ZSL London Zoo will be opening a brand new exhibit in place of the Children's Zoo. It will be a fully immersive exhibit, aimed at 3-7 year olds, where visitors will walk through the habitats of animals. Bringing barriers down, the exhibit will allow visitors to feel they have entered the world of these animals and experience some of the challenges animals face in the environments in which they live. The Children’s Zoo will be a learning-led experience, helping visitors to understand how animals differ and how they have adapted to their environment, and what they need to survive. The exhibit will be divided into 5 distinct zones: Treetop village Root zone Splash zone Touch paddock Events zone TREETOP VILLAGE Bright, colourful, fantasy shapes inspired by nature with a suspension bridge to take children through tall trees and colourful poles providing an immersive experience. Animals include Red Pandas, Coatis and Parakeets. ROOT ZONE Crawl through tunnel providing immersive experience of tunnelling through the ground. Animals include Yellow Mongoose and Prairie dogs. Splash Zone This zone will consist of a secret garden containing play elements as well as plants and features to encourage wildlife such as butterflies and birds. Link: Naming Childrens Zoo |

Tiger, I think you've posted the wrong link there...
Interesting development if true, but I still think there are other areas which need redeveloping ahead of the children's zoo. From the descriptions though, it looks as though it will be a good Children's Zoo. May I ask as to how you recieved the email? I'm signed up to the newsletter, but did not receive any survey. |

I like the idea of a childrens zoo as opposed to a childrens farm. Sounds good, though I hope I won't look to stupid going round it to see the animals.

From the photos it looks like some of the original features are staying. I notice the penguin pool will become a fountain.

Those plans look pretty good for a children's zoo and the species list is a very wise choice considering it will be aimed at kids. I really don't like the look of the splash zone though...

I'm not sure why it is that zoos need to market a zone specifically for children, when it is quite obvious that children (and families) make up the bulk of their attendance. I can see the merits of a treetops zone and a root (surely there is a better name...) zone to showcase animals specific to those niches, but not sure why it needs to be dumbed down. By all means make it children friendly. |
