      Speaking as someone who is a zoo nerd but also has 4 young children...this play area looks magnificent!

      “If it was safe”...... :p was that also the reason we tested out the climbing frames inside the gorilla house?

      @ShonenJake13 That was just to get the the full experience of the enclosure ;) I'm still not sure how i managed to squeeze my way up that climbing frame :p

      Are there any animal exhibits integrated into this complex, or is it purely an indoor playground?

      @DavidBrown I was awed when I saw this playground in the summer of 2019 and it's advertised as the largest indoor play area in all of Europe. I don't think that there are any animals inside besides otters, prairie dogs, bats, an aviary and there is a connected Squirrel Monkey enclosure outdoors and perhaps the primates have access to some parts of the huge building.

      There were a few exhibits with in the complex on my visit including the indoors for the Squirrel Monkeys, an enclosure for Lyle's flying fox, Rainbow lorikeet, Asian short-clawed otter, with an outdoor for the latter species, and Black-tailed Prarie Dogs also connected to the building. I've included a few photos of the exhibits below;

      @snowleopard Speaking as someone who is a zoo nerd that behaves like 4 young children, this play area is certainly magnificent! Some large climbing frames, a spoopy ghost house and a huge slide, as well as two water play areas and some spoopy ghost caves (with a fruit bat exhibit). It also has some animal enclosures, a show area and a restaurant for the parents.

      There used to be a monorail that went outside over some of the outside enclosures, but it has sadly been removed
