Exploration Asia
Meet forest dwellers and cliff climbers
When you move through Exploration Asia and Gateway to Asia, you’ll discover rich biodiversity that thrives across a variety of different landscapes. Our lush habitats are home to our Malayan tapirs and our white-handed gibbons, and all manner of animals that will dazzle you.
Exploration Asia Redevelopment Project
The Exploration Asia Redevelopment project is officially underway! While there are some viewing impacts in the area, you can still visit many of your favourite species – Bactrian camels, Komodo dragons, white-handed gibbons, Malayan tapirs, red crowned cranes, Turkmenian markhors, Amur tigers, wild boar, and Pallas’s cats. Plus Dalmatian pelicans can be found in their temporary home at Land of Lemurs! Snow leopards and red pandas have been relocated during construction but don’t worry – these beloved species will be back in 2026. We can’t wait to share these incredible new spaces with you! Thank you for your understanding.
