Twilight World

Twilight World takes you on a weird and wonderful journey through an indoor exhibit where night and day have been reversed, starting at a dusky desert at sunset – where you can see sand cats, mongoose and critically endangered Turkish spiny mice.

Follow the path through a nocturnal forest, home to our rare family of aye ayes, owl monkeys, two-toed sloths and a host of other unusual creatures of the night.

Next, venture into the underground home of fascinating creatures like the blind naked mole rat and the syrian hamster (check). Your journey ends at ‘dawn’ in a creaking old town house, home to dozens of tiny house mice and black and brown rats

All the displays in Twilight World are fully immersive, making use of light, sound, humidity and even smell to help recreate natural habitats.
