"They'll take on the role of a ZSL conservationist - horticulturalist, scientist or zookeeper - at the zoo within a zoo as they spend their session working their 'jobs' and playing with over 1,000 toys (a lot of which are admittedly zebra poo balls) including 63 cuddly animals - from parrots to komodo dragons - that have had microchips specially fitted by the zoo vets."
"To stop the sessions becoming oversubscribed but also ensure people turn up, you'll need to book for them, and it'll cost £1 to reserve a space in addition to your entry to the zoo. Sessions will become available to book three days in advance. Happy roleplaying, and here's hoping your sprog has what it takes to cure the Komodo lurgie."
ZooTown is a role-play centre for children ages three to eight located in London Zoo's former reptile house. Children book 45-minute sessions to role-play as ZSL conservationists, horticulturalists, scientists or zookeepers. Sessions involve working assigned 'jobs' and playing with over 1,000 toys, including 63 microchipped cuddly animals ranging from parrots to komodo dragons. Booking requires a £1 reservation fee in addition to zoo entry and opens three days in advance to manage demand. ZooTown aims to teach conservation and behind-the-scenes zoo work while offering a focused play alternative to a full day at the zoo. Daily opening begins Oct 18.
