The aquarium section was fantastic, we were more impressed with the displays there, than at London Aquarium or the Sealife Centre. The marine displays contained live rock and live coral, whereas they have painted plastic at the sealife centre, London Zoo doesnt have any big fish like sharks or the turtles, but they more than make up for it by having the real coral and rock…

There were a couple of species in the tanks that we couldnt see a label for, but everthing looked very healthy and shiny! they have obviously put a lot of effort in, which is evident all around the zoo.
