Very developing place! We liked!

The Bugs section of the London Zoo was lovely, it is quite cramped but I think it gives off the feeling of what it feels like to be enclosed as a bug. There were lots of buggies and children around in this area but we all followed a specific direction almost like a queue style so we could witness everything. I thought it was fascinating to be able to see them up close. I liked being able to work on my photography even though it was through the glass it was a rare opportunity to see different insects and bugs that I wouldn't have been able to see elsewhere naturally. I loved being able to walk under the spiders too, that was amazing and I don't think my pictures can do any justice for it!

Fab experience in the tiny giants part of the zoo, seeing all kinds of insects, creepy crawlies and the aquarium. The highlight for me was seeing the bird eating spider and seeing spiders up close in the walk through with was fascinating and scary at the same time considering I have a fear of.

The sound was pretty loud and narrow corridors make the experience extremely claustrophobic, especially since many people bring buggies and kids there.
I don’t have anything against the bugs, but if you are prone to anxiety or claustrophobia I would skip this one. Spend some time in the Reptarium instead, it’s much wider and without any annoying soundtrack.

Amazing place with multiple technical facilities to view the small insects in addition they give a nice presentation with a man and a big spider
A lovely microscope you can use. A real ants carrying leaflets without a barrier and big magnifying tool

Large big exhibit. One of if not the best I've see. The slider walk through area was quite creepy and if you're taller be sure to keep an eye out for webs and actual spiders.
